  resulting from crisis events or incidents, particularly those that would adversely affect U.S. and coalition
  credibility. Its membership is more ad-hoc than the routine IO working group but also situation dependent.
  IO RESPONSIBILITIES WITHIN THE VARIOUS COMMAND POSTS
  6-10. IO execution involves monitoring and assessing IO as the operation unfolds and requires coordination
  among the tactical command post (CP) and main CP, which can be challenging. Each monitors different parts
  of the operation and not all have an assigned functional area 30 or IO officer. Continuous exchange of
  information among those assigned responsibility for IO at these CPs is essential to ensuring the effective
  execution of IO.
  6-11. The tactical CP directs IO execution and adjusts missions as required. The IO representative or
  responsible agent—
  * Maintains the IO portion of the common operational picture to support current operations.
  * Maintains information requirement status.
  * Coordinates preparation and execution of IO with maneuver and fires.
  * Recommends adjustments to current IO.
  * Tracks IRCs and recommends repositioning, as required.
  * Tracks applicable targets in conjunction with the G-2 (S-2).
  * Nominates targets for attack.
  * Provides initial assessment of effectiveness.
  6-12. The main CP plans, coordinates, and integrates IO. It—
  * Creates and maintains IO aspects of the common operational picture.
  * Maintains the IO estimate.
  * Incorporates answers to IRs and requests for information into the IO estimate.
  * Maintains a current IO order of battle.
  * Deconflicts IO internally and externally.
  * Requests/coordinates IO support with other warfighting function representatives, outside
  agencies, higher headquarters, and augmenting forces.
  * Identifies future objectives based on successes or failures of current operations.
