  2-7. The G-6 coordinates with higher, adjacent, and subordinate echelons to ensure adequate network
  support. See appendix B for more information about collaboration with higher, adjacent, and subordinate
  signal elements.
  2-8. The G-6 controls DODIN operations in the corps area of operations through the network operations
  and security center. The corps network operations and security center establishes the corps portion of the
  DODIN-A. The network operations and security center provides operational and technical support to
  subordinate signal elements through technical channels. Technical channels are the chain of authority for
  ensuring the execution of clearly delineated technical tasks, functions, and capabilities to meet the dynamic
  requirements of Department of Defense information network operations (ATP 6-02.71). The network
  operations and security center monitors the health of the network and directs fault, configuration, accounting,
  performance, and security management. When operating as part of a joint task force headquarters, the corps
  network operations and security center forms the core of the joint network operations control center, with
  augmentation.
  Note. Signal personnel often incorrectly refer to a ‘network operations chain of command.’ The
  correct term to describe the chain of authority for the conduct of DODIN operations is technical
  channels.
  2-9. DODIN operations technical channels align with the operational chain of command to maintain unity
  of command and unity of effort. This allows commanders to manage the network as a warfighting platform
  and align available communications and network support capabilities to their highest mission priorities
  during each phase of an operation. Battalions configure their systems to report status information to the
  brigade network operations and security center. Each subsequent network operations and security center
  reports status to the next higher level of command. The regional cyber center monitors status of the theater
  network through the regional hub node on behalf of the theater army. Figure 2-1 depicts the DODIN
  operations technical channels at corps and below. Refer to ATP 6-02.71 for more information about DODIN
  operations monitoring and reporting.
