  REQUESTING DEFENSIVE CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS SUPPORT
  E-8. Corps and below units do not have organic DCO-IDM capabilities and must request for DCO-IDM-
  related tasks through the RFS process. DCO-IDM support is necessary for threats on the DODIN-A beyond
  the scope or abilities of organic cyberspace forces conducting cyberspace security. Units request DCO-IDM
  as a reactive measure to defend against a cyberspace threat. The G-6 or S-6 coordinates with the G-3 or S-3
  to develop an RFS requesting DCO-IDM support.
  E-9. Upon commander’s approval, the RFS is submitted, validated, and channeled to higher headquarters,
  through the joint force land component command, to JTF headquarters until it reaches the CCMD’s joint
  cyberspace center. The requesting unit additionally informs a cybersecurity service provider (Defense
  Information Systems Agency or NETCOM) of the cyberspace threat. The JTF headquarters routes the RFS;
  the cybersecurity service provider also notifies JFHQ-DODIN of the identified cyberspace threat. The CCMD
  has organic CCMD CPTs that conduct DCO-IDM in friendly cyberspace. CCDRs have directive authority
  for cyberspace operations that authorizes DCO-IDM missions within their assigned AOR without requesting
  authorization from USCYBERCOM.
  E-10. The CCMD CPTs primary focus is employing DCO-IDM throughout the AOR and may be unavailable
  to provide support to requesting corps and below units. If the CCMD CPTs are unavailable, the joint
  cyberspace center forwards the RFS through the cyberspace operations-integrated planning element to the
