  tools on the workstations provide the SSEs and ARSSTs with the necessary equipment to accomplish their
  required tasks.
  4-6. Space operations officer responsibilities are below. Refer to FM 6-0 for a list of common staff duties,
  responsibilities, characteristics, and relationships.
  * Advise commanders and staff on the capabilities, limitations, considerations, and effects of space
  operations specific to the commander’s intent, concept of operations, unit mission, and space
  threat.
  * In conjunction with legal counsel, advise commanders on space-related legal authority, and rules
  of engagement.
  * Provide space knowledge, develop the space operations requirements, and prepare the space
  running estimate as part of the MDMP.
  * Ensure active collaboration across the staff, unified action partners, and external entities such as
  staff counterparts at higher and lower echelons, adjacent units, and the intelligence community to
  enable shared understanding of the space OE and employ space operations.
  * Develop and provide space-related courses of action to support the scheme of maneuver.
  * Ensure space operations are integrated into all staff processes.
  * Account for space effects, capabilities, constraints, limitations, and second and third order effects.
  * Ensure possible effects of a D3SOE are integrated into mission planning.
  * Ensure staff awareness of space domain-related electromagnetic interference.
  * Maintain the space portion of the COP.
  * Ensure space-related capabilities support development of critical asset list and defended asset list.
  * Execute assigned tasks, maintain awareness of the challenges facing the unit, and offer space
  capabilities as solutions.
  * Support and perform Army-related integrated joint special technical operations duties and
  responsibilities, as required.
  ARMY SPACE SUPPORT ELEMENTS
  4-7. All theater Armies, field armies, corps, and division headquarters have organic SSE for planning,
  integration, and coordination of space capabilities. The Army SSE is responsible to plan for space
  capabilities, effects, and support to headquarters and staffs, and support Army space operations personnel
  deployed in their area of operations. The SSE is the space operations subject matter expert on the staff and
  provides SSA for the unit. The SSE is assigned to the assistant chief of staff, operations (G-3) staff to provide
  organic space operation planning and assessment for the commander, staff, assigned, and attached
  subordinate units.
  4-8. The SSE supports all combatant commander operational missions by planning and coordinating joint
  space assets supporting the theater commander. They provide recommendations for space operations support,
  additional space operations personnel, and additional equipment required to support Army operations. The
  SSE coordinates space augmentation requirements in support of OPLAN or the commander’s requirement.
  They also provide assistance with targeting of space-based assets and those reliant on the ground segment.
  4-9. The primary role of the SSE is to synchronize space capabilities and effects throughout the operations
  process to maximizing the positive impact of space capabilities for the commander’s needs. They are
  responsible for maintaining SSA and updating the space portion of the COP. SSE members coordinate space
  operations objectives and tasks with their counterparts at higher and lower echelons. The SSE serves as the
  primary command and control element within the staff for space operations.
  4-10. The SSE develops the space operations mission statement and concept of space operations,
  emphasizing aspects of the base plan which require space support and may benefit from the use of space
  capabilities. They identify space capabilities required to support mission operations or impacts to them, and
  the risks of enemy counterspace operations. Some space assets and related capabilities require a long lead
  time for planning and preparation. Adequate support to the mission must account for phasing: the SSE must
  incorporate effects into shaping operations as well as deter, and seize the initiative as part of decisive
