  CYBERSPACE ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTIVITIES SECTION
  1-78. The cyberspace electromagnetic activities (known as CEMA) section coordinates and synchronizes
  cyberspace and electronic warfare operations across staff elements from brigade to corps. The cyberspace
  electromagnetic activities section is key to the collaboration of cyberspace and electronic warfare operations
  to include the planning of electromagnetic deception.
  G-5
  1-79. The G-5 has staff planning and supervisory responsibility for—
  * Maintaining contingency plans and initiating crisis action planning efforts.
  * Coordinating to ensure deception planning is included in OPLANs, concept plans, and campaign
  plans.
  * Incorporating deception planning at the beginning of the planning process.
  DECEPTION WORKING GROUP
  1-80. The MDO oversees all deception planning and execution. For successful deception integration, a
  deception planning team, appointed by the command, is formed. In most circumstances, the team then forms
  a DWG to facilitate the planning, coordination, integration, and assessment of deception. At a minimum, a
  DWG includes representatives from the G-2, G-3, the G-3 IO cell, G-5, and the OPSEC planner. The DWG
  often includes representatives from IRCs that are pertinent or relevant to the deception concept of operations
  being developed. The DWG plans, directs, monitors, and assesses deception plans. It may also provide
  planning, execution, and termination support for deception operations undertaken by higher command
  echelons in their operational area. Members of the DWG typically writes Appendix 14 (Military Deception)
  to Annex C (Operations) for the OPORD. Other responsibilities include—
  * Interfacing and working closely with operational planners to review and analyze deception plan
  requirements.
  * Responding to higher headquarters’ deception tasking.
  * Coordinating with higher headquarters on proposed deception efforts to solve potential conflicts.
  * Providing resource requirements to higher headquarters for deception program development and
  sustainment.
  * Looking for opportunities to implement deception in support of military objectives.
