13-8. Digital liaison detachments provide Army commanders units to conduct liaison with major subordinate or parallel headquarters. Digital liaison detachments consist of staff officers with a broad range of expertise who are capable of analyzing the situation, facilitating coordination between multinational forces, and assisting in cross-boundary information flow and operational support. These 30-Soldier teams are essential not only for routine liaison, but also for advising and assisting multinational partners in conducting planning and operations at intermediate tactical levels. These detachments can operate as a single entity for liaison with a major multinational headquarters, or provide two smaller teams for digital connectivity and liaison with smaller multinational headquarters. Commanders can also tailor digital liaison detachments to match a given mission. The basis of digital liaison detachments allocation is five per committed theater Army, one per corps and division serving as a joint task force headquarters, or as approved by the Department of the Army. The support requirement for a coalition during counterinsurgency or foreign internal defense is one digital liaison detachment for each multinational headquarters (division or above) and one for the host-nation Ministry of Defense.
