  enemy attempts to exploit vulnerabilities of friendly communications systems. When creating electronic
  protection plan, the cyber electronic warfare officer and signal planners consider deployment, employment,
  replacement, and concealment of communications systems.
  Cyberspace Electromagnetic Activities Section
  A-17. The CEMA section of the G-3 (S-3) from brigade to corps coordinates and synchronizes cyberspace
  and EW operations for effective collaboration across staff elements. This section includes the cyber electronic
  warfare officer, the spectrum manager, the EW technician, and EW noncommissioned officers. The CEMA
  section is key to the collaboration of cyberspace and EW operations. The cyber electronic warfare officer is
  the cyberspace planner and understands the operations and missions of the unit and the commander’s intent.
  The CEMA section participates in the planning and targeting process, and leads the CEMA working group
  to support the military decision-making process. The cyberspace planner submits requests for effects
  provided by non-organic resources. Other key staff members who assist in CEMA include the G-2 (S-2), G-
  3 (S-3), G-6 (S-6), supported by the network operations and service center and signal company). CEMA
  Section activities include—
  * Plans, requests, and synchronizes effects in cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum to
  support freedom of maneuver.
  * Coordinates with higher headquarters staff to integrate and synchronize information collection
  efforts to support cyberspace and EW operations.
  * Synchronizes cyberspace and EW effects requests with organic targeting capabilities.
  * Prepares and submits effect requests using the cyber effects request format or electronic attack
  request format.
  * Develops, maintains, and disseminates cyberspace and electromagnetic spectrum input for the
  common operational picture.
  * Plans, coordinates, integrates, prepares for, and conducts EW operations.
  * Conducts spectrum management coordination for EW capabilities within the unit’s area of
  operations.
  * Prepares and submits effect requests using the cyber effects request format, as required.
  * Provide recommendations on commander’s critical information requirements.
  The G-6 (S-6)
  A-18. The G-6 (S-6) section prepares annex H (Signal) to the operation plan or order, with appropriate cross-
  references to the EW portions of annex C (Operations), operations security portion of annex E (Protection),
  the military deception plan, and the signal operating instructions. The G-6 (S-6) integrates and coordinates
  DODIN operations and spectrum management operations through close collaboration with the CEMA section
  during planning and operations. The G-6 (S-6) also—
  * Plans alternate means of communications for those systems most vulnerable to enemy jamming.
  * Provides COMSEC to protect systems most vulnerable to enemy information gathering activities.
  * Plans measures to protect critical friendly frequencies from intentional and unintentional
  electromagnetic interference.
  * Enforces proper use of radio, electronic protection, and transmission security procedures on
  communications channels.
  * Performs spectrum management, including designating alternate frequencies for radio networks
  and modeling the electromagnetic environment.
  * Publishes and updates signal operating instructions.
  * Prepares and maintains the restricted frequency list—taboo, protected, and guarded frequencies,
  in collaboration with the G-2 (S-2).
  * Implements cybersecurity on the network and automated information systems.
