  Request for Support
  This appendix discusses how Army units request support for cyberspace operations and
  electromagnetic warfare during joint operations. Army forces may require offensive
  cyberspace operations support for identified targets that require engagement using
  cyberspace attacks. Defensive cyberspace operations support may be necessary when
  an identified threat in friendly cyberspace is beyond the scope of cyberspace security.
  Electromagnetic warfare support may be required when an Army unit needs
  augmentation or when their electromagnetic warfare capabilities or authorities cannot
  fulfill the requirements to support operations or the commander’s intent.
  SECTION I – REQUESTING CYBERSPACE AND ELECTROMAGNETIC
  WARFARE SUPPORT
  E-1. This section describes procedures to request DCO-IDM, OCO, and DCO-RA support at corps and
  below. It also discusses how Army units request non-organic EW support as an augmentation to fulfill
  targeting gaps.
  OVERVIEW OF REQUEST FOR SUPPORT
  E-2. In conjunction with the necessary legal and operational authorities, commanders select organic EW
  capabilities to create desired effects on targets identified for EAs. If a unit’s organic EW capabilities do not
  fulfill the targeting requirements to support the commander’s intent, or if the commander does not have the
  authority to employ a particular EW capability, the CEMA section requests support from the next higher
  echelon. To request EA that will be administered by aircraft, the CEMA section uses the Joint Tactical Air
  Strike Request and the support request tool.
  E-3. As requests pass from echelon to echelon, each echelon processes the Joint Tactical Air Strike Request
  to assess their ability to provide the support that meets the requesting unit’s requirements. The requirement
  elevates either until it reaches an echelon that can support the requesting unit or until the highest echelon
  denies the request. Supporting a requesting unit may not be possible due to prioritization, timing, capabilities,
  authorization, or conflict with other EW capability requirements. Commanders ultimately have the
  responsibility for denying resource requests and may delegate that authority to their staff. The joint force
  commander may refuse a request for joint air resources, but not the joint force air component commander.
  E-4. Corps and below units do not have organic cyberspace capabilities to conduct DCO-IDM, DCO-RA,
  or OCO missions. The G-3 or S-3 requests support through higher headquarters. The G-6 or S-6 and the
  CEMA section coordinate to request DCO-IDM after determining that a threat in friendly cyberspace is
  beyond the scope of cyberspace security. DCO-IDM is an enabler for DCO-RA. Cyber mission forces
  performing DCO-IDM request DCO-RA upon deciding that a cyberspace threat requires a defensive attack
  beyond friendly cyberspace. OCO is used to create desired effects on targets identified for cyberspace attacks
  on the integrated target list. DCO-RA and OCO are similar except that DCO-RA is only used to deter a threat,
  whereas OCO is used to project power.
  REQUESTING OFFENSIVE CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS SUPPORT
  E-5. For OCO missions, the CEMA working group identifies targets that have met the established targeting
  selection standards during the targeting process (see Chapter 4) and aligned with the commanders’ targeting
  guidance. Once approved, the fires support element adds these targets to the unit’s high payoff target list with
