  5-66. As tensions escalate, IW at the operational level can be employed to
  disrupt the enemy’s information systems, further demonstrating national re-
  solve and military capability. The chief of IW formulates the IW plan as an
  integral part of all ground, air, sea, and space operations.
  STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES
  5-67. Just as there is a Chief of IW in the General Staff, there is a chief of IW
  under the intelligence officer in all military staffs down to brigade level.
  Within those operational- and tactical-level staffs, the intelligence officer and
  chief of IW are responsible for ensuring that all IW actions undertaken at
  their levels are in concert with the overall military IW plan and the SIWP.
  As necessary, the Chief of IW in the General Staff can directly task each
  operational- or tactical-level chief of IW to support the SIW campaign. (See
  the Strategic IW section of this chapter.)
  5-68. The intelligence officer heads the intelligence and information section
  of the primary staff of an operational-strategic command (OSC). He ensures
  that all intelligence requirements are met and coordinates all necessary
  national- or theater-level assets for the IW plan. He must effectively task or-
  ganize his staff resources to plan, conduct, and execute IW. Traditional staff
  functions and relationships may be expanded or even redefined. (See Chapter 2
  for a more detailed discussion of staff responsibilities and organization.)
  5-69. The chief of IW belongs to the secondary staff, heading a subsection
  under the intelligence officer. The chief of IW supervises the execution of the
  OSC’s IW plan. He is responsible for
  • Coordinating the employment of IW assets, including those subordi-
  nate to the OSC or affiliated forces and any supporting assets available
  at the national or theater level.
  • Planning for and supervising all information protection and security
  measures.
  • Supervising the implementation of the deception plan and perception
  management objectives.
  • Working with the operations section of the staff to ensure that targets
  scheduled for destruction support the IW plan, and if not, resolving
  conflicts between IW needs and operational needs.
  • Recommending to the intelligence officer any necessary actions re-
  quired to implement the IW plan.
  5-70. The chief of IW at each level of command submits his IW plan to the
  chief of IW at the next-higher level. The senior chief of IW issues directives to
  subordinate units’ chiefs of IW. These directives are part of the operation
  plan or operational directive, and can be part of the SCP. What the subordi-
  nates plan and execute must be in concert with the higher plan, and the
  higher headquarters also needs to ensure that the IW plan of one subordinate
  does not conflict with that of its adjacent units.
  5-71. The chief of IW also plays a key role in coordinating IW activities with
  other staff sections and subsections, particularly with members of the func-
  tional staff. For instance, he coordinates with the chief of integrated fires to
