  Military Deception Support Detachment
  3-36. Equips the supported command with a regionally-aligned military deception-focused planning,
  coordination, implementation, and assessment capability. Military deception support detachments are trained
  to identify deception opportunities, deception conduits and means, and develop plans focused on exploiting
  those opportunities and means. As part of its support functions, the military deception support detachment
  develops and maintains social-cultural threat databases to include methods and means of communication
  (conduits) for input to the targeting process. It can either augment or act as the supported command’s
  deception cell.
  Assessment Detachments
  3-37. Provide multi-disciplined IO effects assessments. They assess the information environment and
  integrate IO-related collection and assessment into initial planning. They develop criteria in the form of
  measures of effectiveness and measures of performance and establish indicators for evaluation. Each
  indicator represents an IR that should identify a set of sources and staff members who collect the information
  in the assessment plan. Measures of performance and effectiveness are simply criteria—they require relevant
  information in the form of indicators for evaluation.
  OPSEC Support Detachments
  3-38. OPSEC support detachments provide planning, synchronization, implementation, and assessment of
  OPSEC programs to identify friendly critical capabilities, critical vulnerabilities, and critical information in
  military plans, operations, and supporting activities and prevent exposure to enemy intelligence systems.
  They determine and advise supported commanders on indicators that threat intelligence systems might obtain
  that could be interpreted or pieced together to derive critical information in time to be useful to enemies. In
  concert with other IRCs, they nominate and employ OPSEC measures that eliminate or reduce to an
  acceptable level, the vulnerabilities of friendly actions to enemy exploitation.
  Web OPSEC Support Detachment
  3-39. Administers planning, synchronization, implementation and assessment of web-based OPSEC
  programs to identify friendly critical capabilities, critical vulnerabilities and critical information in military
  plans, operations, and supporting activities and prevent exposure to enemy intelligence systems.
  Recommends and advises on OPSEC implications to cyberspace operations.
  Reachback and Home Station Support
  3-40. The Theater IO Groups maintain an intelligence support capability designed to produce detailed IO-
  centric analysis of the operational environment and potential threats (infrastructure; key leaders; information
  systems; IRCs; composition; vulnerabilities; and friendly, neutral, and threat indigenous networks and their
  relation to each other) in support of deployed teams. The Theater IO Groups also maintain a habitual
  relationship with intelligence organizations to provide IO-centric support and products. Deployed teams
  coordinate with the Theater IO Group’s S-2 and Intelligence Integration Element for information which is
  used in the development of courses of action, target analysis, and creation of a combined information overlay.
  The Intelligence Integration Element and Other Support
  3-41. Contains intelligence specialists who provide multidiscipline intelligence analysis in support of
  individual Theater IO Groups elements and deployable modular IO teams. Trained on IO in order to provide
  tailored intelligence support, these specialists can support from home station, deploy to augment command’s
  resident IO element, or as members of an IO team. When deployed, these specialists can serve as the focal
  point for coordination with other intelligence elements.
  3-42. In addition to intelligence reachback support, the Theater IO Groups can also provide technical support
  from home station through the Army Service Component Command support detachments and the web
  OPSEC support detachment. The Army Service Component Command support detachments are capable of
  providing theater support planning from either home station or on site at the supported theater Army Service
  Component Command headquarters. The web OPSEC support detachment is capable of deploying as part of
