  operations. Knowledge management aligns an organization’s people, processes, and tools to distribute
  knowledge and promote shared situational understanding.
  2-116. Signal Soldiers assigned to the knowledge management section ensure the information technology
  network supports knowledge creation and uses automated knowledge management tools. Some signal
  Soldiers serve in the knowledge management section. Their responsibilities include providing software
  developer capability support. Refer to ATP 6-01.1 for more information about knowledge management.
  SUPPORT TO INFORMATION OPERATIONS
  2-117. Information operations are the integrated employment, during military operations, of information-
  related capabilities in concert with other lines of operation to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the decision-
  making of adversaries and potential adversaries while protecting our own (JP 3-13). Some information-
  related capabilities (COMCAM, satellite communications, and DODIN operations) are Signal Corps
  functions.
  2-118. The DODIN-A provides a platform to plan information operations and synchronize information-
  related capabilities globally across all echelons and organizations in near real-time. Security and defense of
  the DODIN-A through cybersecurity and defensive cyberspace operations provide a layer of defense against
  threat information warfare capabilities.
  SUPPORT TO AVIATION OPERATIONS
  2-119. Combat aviation brigades have organic signal Soldiers and capabilities to support deployed forces
  (see paragraph 2-31). These organic capabilities connect the brigade and battalion command posts to the
  DODIN-A.
  2-120. The DODIN-A also provides network transport for aviation-specific automated information systems.
  These systems integrate air and ground operations, facilitate civil and interagency airspace coordination, and
  provide joint interoperability with the joint force air component commander. Interoperable single-channel
  radio systems enable coordination with ground troops for close air support and medical evacuation.
  SUPPORT TO PORT OPERATIONS
  2-121. The theater army G-6 coordinates with the geographic combatant commander to support
  communications for the harbormaster detachment. The harbormaster detachment coordinates and
  synchronizes vessel operations. When the detachment arrives, it establishes the satellite communications
  transport, automated information systems, weather data sensors, and the radio communications necessary to
  control port operations. Refer to ATP 4-15, for more information about port operations.
  BASE CAMP COMMUNICATIONS
  2-122. The communications and network support a unit receives in a base camp are similar to the services
  the network enterprise center provides at their home station. Signal planners determine a base camp’s
  communications requirements based on its size, level of capabilities, and purpose. Tenant and transient units
  determine their signal requirements based on their operational needs.
  2-123. When a G-6 (S-6) or signal unit supports a base camp, the G-6 (S-6) coordinates with the base camp
  commander to identify communications requirements, including local area network and wide-area network
  support, DISN services, communications-electronics maintenance, and communications augmentation, as
  necessary. Refer to ATP 3-37.10 for more information about base camp support.
  DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES AND HOMELAND DEFENSE
  2-124. The unique capabilities of Army signal systems enable expeditionary signal units to rapidly deploy
  to support various other contingency or crisis mission requirements. Military communications systems
  include joint interoperability as a design consideration. However, most communications systems developed
  for combat are incompatible with civilian systems, unless the military provides specialized connections.
