Joint Battlefield Forensics War Crimes Evidence Chain Cell
Mission Scope
- Treat this skill as a planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in its domain.
- Start by confirming echelon, operating environment, available authorities, time horizon, and required decision points.
- Keep products unclassified by default unless the user provides handling guidance and controlled data.
Workflow
- Frame the mission problem with domain indicators, commander priorities, and branch triggers.
- Identify assumptions, decision thresholds, and invalidation signals.
- Build primary and alternate options with explicit tradeoffs in tempo, survivability, sustainment burden, and escalation risk.
- Integrate dependencies across C2, intelligence, fires/effects, sustainment, protection, legal constraints, and coalition interoperability.
- Produce commander-facing outputs and a staff-action plan with owners, suspense dates, and triggers.
Required Output Format
- Situation snapshot.
- Recommended option.
- Alternative options.
- Decision points now/next/pre-delegated.
- Staff tasking by owner and suspense.
Domain Products
Primary products for this skill: evidence custody ledger, forensics collection task matrix, legal-evidence confidence brief.
Domain Toolchain Defaults
- Primary:
tool_suite_id=ts-detainee-accountability-v1withprotocol_stack_id=ps-detainee-compliance-stack-v1. - Alternate:
tool_suite_id=ts-joint-c2-fusion-v1withprotocol_stack_id=ps-nato-coalition-stack-v1. - Degraded: use authenticated voice/readback + UTC acknowledgment ledger + manual fallback board.
External Tools and Protocol Integration
- Use baseline guidance in
../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md. - Use protocol packets in
../_shared/references/tool-protocol-playbooks.mdand../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md. - Bind recommendations to concrete suite/stack entries in
../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md. - Include provenance fields: source system, refresh UTC, confidence, and key gaps.
Authority and Assurance Gates
- Apply approval and escalation requirements from
../_shared/references/human-agent-command-escalation-matrix.mdand../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md. - Run protocol conformance checks from
../_shared/references/us-joint-protocol-assurance-drill.mdbefore high-impact recommendations. - If authority, legal basis, or acknowledgment integrity is uncertain, downgrade to advisory-only with explicit commander prompts.
