  commanders on technical and training issues related to network and information service integration. During
  split-based operations, the G-6 usually aligns with the tactical command post, while the deputy G-6 remains
  with the main command post. The division G-6 coordinates with the G-3 to direct the actions and movements
  of signal elements to support operations through the orders process.
  2-16. The G-6 coordinates with higher, adjacent, and subordinate echelons to ensure adequate network
  support. The G-6 recommends network changes as needed to support the commander’s intent. See appendix
  B for more information about signal planning and collaboration with higher, adjacent, and subordinate signal
  elements.
  2-17. The division G-6 conducts DODIN operations in their area of operations through the division network
  operations and security center. The division network operations and security center establishes the division’s
  portion of the DODIN-A. The network operations and security center provides guidance to subordinate signal
  elements through technical channels. The network operations and security center monitors the health of the
  network and directs fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management. When the
  division acts as a joint task force headquarters, the division network operations and security center forms the
  core of the joint network operations control center, with augmentation.
  2-18. The division G-6 integrates the division’s network and information systems. The G-6 prepares the
  communications plan and exercises technical control over the division signal company in executing the plan.
  After initializing the local area networks, the G-6 establishes a 24-hour service desk to help with user issues
  and local area network connectivity in the command posts. The roles and responsibilities of the G-6 include—
  * Developing the scheme of signal support to operation orders through the military decision-making
  process, including PACE plans for each phase of the operation.
  * Assist the commander and G-3 in identifying user requirements by number and service type.
  * DODIN operations planning.
  * Satellite communications planning.
  * Managing satellite communications networks for the division and subordinate brigade combat
  teams.
  * Line of sight network planning.
  * Managing line of sight networks for the division and subordinate brigade combat teams.
  * Tactical radio network planning.
  * Spectrum management.
  * COMSEC account management.
  * Integrating mission command information systems in the division network.
  * Coordinating, planning, and directing integration of unified action partner networks (mission
  partner environment).
  * Local area network management for the division command posts.
  * Service desk management.
  * Helping collect and disseminate relevant input to the common operational picture.
  * Supporting the CEMA section, as required.
  * Information dissemination management to ensure awareness of relevant, accurate information,
  automated access to newly discovered or recurring information, and timely information delivery
  to support decision making.
  * Signal maintenance and logistical readiness oversight for communications-electronics equipment.
  2-19. When the division headquarters serves as a joint task force headquarters, the G-6 usually serves as the
  joint task force J-6. This mission requires augmentation from other Services or pooled signal assets.
  Division Signal, Intelligence, and Sustainment Company
  2-20. The signal portion of the division signal, intelligence, and sustainment company operates under the
  technical control of the division G-6. The company installs, operates, maintains, and secures the division’s
  network transport, automated information systems, and networks and provides the G-6 staff. The division’s
  organic signal capabilities support operations at-the-halt from the main and tactical command posts, and
