  * Analyzes the threat and the enemy’s capability to process, filter, and evaluate intelligence on the
  friendly situation.
  * Provides assessments on the threat’s vulnerabilities to deception.
  * Assesses threat targets, sensors, most dangerous and most likely COAs, acceptance of the
  deception story, and MOEs.
  * Provides comprehensive assessments and continual feedback to the MDO in support of deception
  planning, execution, and deception termination.
  * Supports counterdeception operations to protect friendly deception operations and to expose threat
  deception attempts.
  * Responds to MDOs’ requests for information (RFIs) concerning analysis data for behavioral
  influences or human factors for threat military, paramilitary, or violent extremist organizations.
  * Helps to prevent reporting of unintentionally collected deception information to the commander
  as valid facts.
  G-3
  1-74. The G-3 recommends the use of resources including those required for deception. For deception, the
  G-3—
  * Recommends the deception objective, story, and plan to the commander.
  * Coordinates the deception effort through the information operations cell.
  * With the staff judge advocate, ensures that the deception effort is planned and conducted in
  accordance with the U.S. laws, rules of engagement, and the law of war.
  * Supervises execution of the deception plan.
  * Submits detailed and clear RFIs to the G-2 for information and intelligence that is key to deception
  planning, execution, and assessment.
  * Provides feedback to the G-2 on intelligence products to include clarification or additional RFIs
  if needed.
  INFORMATION OPERATIONS OFFICER
  1-75. The information operations (IO) officer is the staff officer responsible for the integration and
  synchronization of IRCs in support of the deception plan. These responsibilities include coordinating and
  deconflicting deception planning and integration into the scheme of IO (a clear, concise statement of where,
  when, and how the commander intends to employ and synchronize IRCs). The IO officer monitors the
  implementation and execution of the deception portion of IO. Since military deception is an IRC and
  fundamentally cognitive in nature, IO officers typically possess deception-related training and experience for
  effectively using TAC-D.
  MILITARY DECEPTION OFFICER
  1-76. The MDO is responsible for coordinating military deception assets and operations. An MDO is
  authorized at corps and theater army levels as the command military deception officer (also known as
  CMDO). At division and lower echelons, the commander designates an MDO. Generally, the most suitable
  staff officer designated as the MDO is the IO officer because of experience and training. In the absence of a
  trained or experienced IO officer, the commander typically designates the individual trained in using Army
  IRCs to influence an enemy decision maker. MDOs ensure that staff classify plans in accordance with
  DODM 5200.01. The security classification guides establish parameters for planning, coordinating, and
  executing deception plans at appropriate levels.
  1-77. MDO responsibilities include, but are not limited to—
  * Providing programmatic oversight and compliance with security requirements.
  * Developing Appendix 14 (Military Deception) to Annex C (Operations).
  * Exercising staff supervision over deception activities.
  * Maintaining program integrity through maintenance of strict OPSEC measures.
