General

The CEAC may establish an IO cell to coordinate operations focused on affecting adversary information and information systems, while defending the EAC’s information and information systems.  The overall composition of each IO cell will vary, but it is important to have an officer in the grade of 0-6 (e.g., EAC J-3 Operations Officer) as the key individual. This officer will ensure deconfliction and unity of effort for information activities within the JOA. Other members of this cell may include: electronic warfare planner, military deception planner, OPSEC planner,Intell planner, C2 planner, PSYOP planner, and others as required. For further details, see CJCSI 3210.01, "Joint Information Warfare Policy," (classified secret) and JP 3-13.1, "Joint Doctrine for Command and Control Warfare (C2W)."
