  A-12. The CEMA section analyzes and synthesizes the cyberspace operations and EW tools gathered during
  Step 1: Receipt of Mission to attain situational awareness of cyberspace, the EMS, and the information
  environment in the AO in which the operation will take place. The CEMA working group analyzes the higher
  headquarters OPLAN or OPORD, focusing on Annex C, Appendix 12. The G-6 or S-6 focuses on Annex H.
  By analyzing higher headquarters’ OPLAN or OPORD, the CEMA section can attain an understanding of
  the unit’s cyberspace operations and EW-related tasks, purpose, and how they contribute to the mission,
  commander’s intent, and concept of operations. During mission analysis, the CEMA working group uses
  higher headquarters’ OPLAN or OPORD to attain awareness of available cyberspace and EW assets, the
  timeline of the operation, and cyberspace and EW missions occurring in the AO by other Services and unified
  action partners.
  A-13. During mission analysis, the G-2 or S-2 leads the IPB to analyze mission variables of the enemy,
  terrain, weather, and civil considerations in an area of interest. The CEMA section collaborates with the G-2
  or S-2 throughout the IPB to help analyze the effect of those mission variables on cyberspace operations and
  EW. This collaboration includes using tools and products received from higher headquarters to conduct an
  initial terrain analysis.
  A-14. The IPB process identifies critical gaps in the commander’s knowledge of the OE, including gaps in
  one or more of cyberspace and EMS-related military aspects of terrain and the overall information
  environment. The commander and staff use these gaps as a guide to establishing their IRs or IPB products.
  The CEMA working group establishes the initial IRs to attain information on recognized gaps identified
  during terrain analysis to define cyberspace and the EMOE. IPB products provided by the CEMA section, in
  conjunction with IPB products established by other staffs during mission analysis for other operations, results
  in—
  * The drafting of initial priority intelligence requirement.
  * The production of a complete modified combined obstacle overlay with cyberspace and EW
  considerations within the assigned AO
  * The production of threat overlays, including cyberspace and EW considerations within the
  assigned AO.
  * A list of cyberspace and EW-related HVTs.
  * Identifying cyberspace and EMS-related military aspects of the terrain.
  * Unrefined event templates and matrices that include cyberspace and EW considerations.
  A-15. The CEMA working group analyzes the higher headquarters’ OPLAN or OPORD and the higher
  commander’s guidance to determine their specified and implied cyberspace operations and EW-related tasks.
  A Specified task is a task specifically assigned to a unit by its higher headquarters (FM 6-0). An implied task
  is a task that must be performed to accomplish a specified task or mission but is not stated in the higher
  headquarters’ order (FM 6-0). The what of a mission statement in higher headquarters’ OPLAN or OPORD
  is always a task. The CEMA section determines essential tasks from the specified and implied cyberspace
  and EW-related tasks included in the unit’s recommended mission statement. An essential task is a specified
  or implied task that must be executed to accomplish the mission (FM 6-0).
  A-16. The CEMA section examines the unit’s current task organization of cyberspace and EW assets,
  command and support relationships for augmentation, and status of current cyberspace and EW capabilities
  and their limitations. The CEMA section also analyzes the cyberspace and EW capabilities of adjacent, joint,
  mission partners, and civilian organizations operating within the unit’s AO. This analysis results in the
  CEMA section determining if the unit has the assets needed to complete all specified, implied, and essential
  tasks and to identify other cyberspace and EW resources required to fulfill those tasks for mission success.
  The CEWO informs the commander of all identified cyberspace and EW resource gaps that need forwarding
  to higher headquarters. The CEMA section provides the commander with any deviations necessary from the
  standard task organization to consider when developing planning guidance.
  A-17. The CEMA working group identifies any constraints placed on the unit regarding cyberspace
  operations and EW. A constraint is a restriction placed on the command by a higher command (FM 6-0). A
  constraint dictates an action or inaction, thus restricting the freedom of action of a subordinate command.
  Constraints are in paragraph 3 of the OPLAN or OPORD. The CEMA section should be aware of cyberspace
