  staff play a key role in processing the CERF and coordinating follow-on cyberspace capabilities. (See
  FM3-12 for additional information.)
  Note.The distinctions between cyberspace and EW capabilities allow eachto operate separately
  and support operations distinctly. However, this also necessitates synchronizing efforts to avoid
  unintended interference. Any operational requirement specific to electronic transfer of information
  through the wired portion of cyberspace must use a cyberspace capability for affect. If the portion
  of cyberspace uses only the EMS as a transport method,then it is an EW capability that can affect
  it. Any operational requirement to affect an EMS capability not connected to cyberspace must use
  an EW capability.
  ELECTROMAGNETICWARFARE
  4-335. Electromagneticwarfareis military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy
  to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy (JP 3-85). The commander integrates EW
  capabilities into operations through CEMA. EW capabilities are applied from the air, land, sea, space, and
  cyberspace by manned,unmanned,attended,or unattended systems. EW capabilities assist the commander
  in shaping the operational environment to gain an advantage. For example,EWmay be used to set favorable
  conditions for cyberspace operations by stimulating networked sensors,denying wireless networks,or other
  related actions. Operations in cyberspace and the EMS depend on EW activities maintaining freedom of
  action in both. (See ATP 3-12.3.) EW consists of three functions, electromagnetic attack, EP, and
  electromagneticsupport.
  ElectromagneticAttack
  4-336. Electromagneticattack involves the use of electromagnetic energy,directed energy,or antiradiation
  weapons to attack personnel,facilities,or equipment with the intent of degrading,neutralizing,or destroying
  enemy combat capability. Electromagneticattack is a form of fires. The electronicattack request formatand
  the electromagneticattack 5-line briefing formatare used to request specific electromagneticattack support
  and on-call electromagnetic attack support. The staff requests electromagnetic attack effects via normal
  request processes and provides specific effects requests using the electronic attack request format. The
  electronic attack request format normally accompanies DD Form 1972. For more information on
  DDForm1972see ATP 3-09.32, figure 1. (See FM 3-12,table D-1 for an example of the electronicattack
  request formatand table D-2 for an example of the electronic attack 5-line briefing.)
  Note. Once FM 3-12 is revised, the electromagnetic attack request format and electromagnetic
  attack 5-line briefing format will replace the electronic attack request formatand electronic attack
  5-line briefing format, respectively.
  4-337. Electromagneticattack includes—
  (cid:122) Actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemy’s effective use of the EMS.
  (cid:122) Employment of weapons that use either electromagnetic or directed energy as their primary
  destructive mechanism.
  (cid:122) Offensive and defensive activities,including countermeasures.
  4-338. Examples of offensive electromagneticattack include—
  (cid:122) Jamming enemy radar or electronic command and control systems.
  (cid:122) Using antiradiation missiles to suppress enemy air defenses. (Antiradiation weapons use radiated
  energy emitted from a target,as the mechanism for guidance onto the target.)
  (cid:122) Using electronic deception to confuse enemy intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and
  acquisition systems.
  (cid:122) Using directed-energy weapons to disable an enemy’s equipment or capability.
