OZ Division CDR Deborah El: LCDR Garrett Hart LT David Carlson OZ Division is comprised of highly trained intelligence specialists, a cryptologist and two draftsmen who added graphics capabilities to many intelligence and ship presentations. OZ is responsible for keeping all components of the George Washington Battle Group informed of potential threats and “hot spots around the world. It provided information to help commanders effectively plan, train and execute operations. OZ is divided into four cells, however collectively they make one cohesive unit known as the Carrier Intelligence Center. (CVIC). Multi-Sensor Interpretation (MSI) conducted advanced imagery exploitation support for Tactical Air (TAC AIR) strikes and Tomahawk mission planning. High-interest merchant vessel tracking, especially those suspected of carrying shipments of cargo prohibited by U.N. resolutions bound for Yugoslavia or Iraq was also conducted within MSI. Supplementary Plot (SUPPLOT) played a critical role in extending the George Washington Battle Group's tactical horizon well beyond the range of the ship's organic sensors. Indications and Warnings (I W) were developed via all-source intelligence fusion and presented by the SUPPLOT watch teams in over 750 tactical briefs to the battle group staff. CVW 7 air crew and ships company CDC watch officers. Joint Strike Analysis Cell (JSAC) and Mission Planning were the primary intelligence centers that supported air wing strike flight planning. JSAC secondary role was to provide up to the minute locations on Ground. Missile and Tactical Electronic Orders of Battle. (GOB. MOB. TEOB) while Mission Planning provided the latest tactical information. Together they supported countless flight missions over the land from Tactical Air Reconnaissance Pods (TARPS) into Bosnia to simulated strikes into Southern Iraq. JSAC Mission planning truly was the one-stop-shopping for air wing strike planning support. Though separate and distinct in their individual work assignments, these four cells worked together along with the most technically advanced systems modem technology had to offer formed the most capable CVIC afloat and provided the embarked staff, ship and air wing personnel with the most comprehensive intelligence support available worldwide.
