Chapter III III-10 JP 3-0 necessary to leave some communications resources behind to continue support of the ongoing effort. (c) Use of ISR capabilities for domestic non-intelligence activities is known as incident awareness and assessment. All requests for imagery or other intelligence support for areas within the United States are subject to USG intelligence oversight regulations and Department of Defense Directive (DODD) 5240.1, DOD Intelligence Activities. DOD intelligence component capabilities, resources, and personnel as a rule may not be used for activities other than foreign intelligence or counterintelligence (CI), unless that use is specifically approved by SecDef. In addition, to ensure compliance with the Posse Comitatus Act requests for direct DOD support to civilian law enforcement agencies are closely reviewed and processed separately for approval. For additional guidance on the communications and ISR systems support, refer to JP 2-01, Joint and National Intelligence Support to Military Operations, JP 6-0, Joint Communications System, and North American Aerospace Defense Command and United States Northern Command Instruction 14-3, Domestic Imagery. g. Network Operations (1) Network Operations (NETOPS) is the DOD-wide operational, organizational, and technical capabilities for operating and defending DOD information networks. NETOPS includes, but is not limited to, enterprise management, net assurance, and content management. DOD information networks situational awareness is gained through the operational and technical integration of enterprise management and defense actions and activities across all levels of command. (2) CDRUSSTRATCOM is the supported commander for global NETOPS and synchronizes planning for cyberspace operations. US Cyber Command is a subunified command subordinate to USSTRATCOM and directs the operations and defense of specified DOD information networks. It is capable of conducting full-spectrum military cyberspace operations to enable US freedom of action in cyberspace and enable actions in other domains and deny the same to our adversaries. CDRUSSTRATCOM also is a supported commander for nonglobal NETOPS and provides support to affected CCMDs, Services, and DOD agencies. OGAs also may provide support per intra-governmental agreements. For additional guidance on NETOPS, refer to JP 6-0, Joint Communications System. h. Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (1) CCIRs are elements of information that the commander identifies as being critical to timely decision making. CCIRs help focus IM and help the commander assess the operational environment and identify decision points during operations. CCIRs belong exclusively to the commander. The CCIR list is normally short so that the staff can focus its efforts and allocate scarce resources. But the CCIR list is not static; JFCs add, delete, adjust, and update CCIRs throughout an operation based on the information they need for decision making. At a minimum, CCIRs should be reviewed and updated during each phase of the operation.
