Staff Responsibilities and Planning 1 September 2016 ATP 3-94.2 3-3 3-8. Operations, airspace control, aviation, engineer, geospatial information service, information operations, military information support operations, and space support elements form this cell. Staff elements in the movement and maneuver cell also form the core of the current operations integrating cell—the primary integrating cell for controlling the execution of deep operations (see paragraphs 3-22 to 3-25). Specific responsibilities of the movement and maneuver cell for operations in the deep area include, but are not limited to the following: Develop and maintain the movement and maneuver running estimate in support of current and future operations. Assist in deep operations planning to include developing the task organization, scheme of maneuver, tasks to subordinate units, and coordinating instruction for specific deep operations. Develop information collection, airspace control, aviation, information operations, and space support portions of deep operations plans and orders. Provide movement and maneuver staff element representatives to targeting working group and board. Ensure targeting in the deep area supports the overall concept of operations and the scheme of maneuver. Chair the information collection working group to include integrating, synchronizing, and prioritizing information collection in the deep area. Chair the information operations working group to include synchronizing the effects of information related capabilities in the deep area. Provide movement and maneuver staff element representation to the current operations integration cell for controlling the execution of deep operations. Fires Cell 3-9. Led by the chief of fires, the fires cell coordinates, plans, integrates, and synchronizes the employment and assessment of Army indirect fires, air and missile defense, and joint fires in support of current and future operations. The fires cell coordinates target acquisition, target dissemination, and target engagement functions for the commander. Specific responsibilities of the fire cell concerning operations in the deep area include but are not limited to the following: Develop and maintain the fires running estimate to include air and missile defense in support of current and future operations. Assist in planning deep operations to include developing a scheme of fires and recommending fire support coordination measures. Coordinate the positioning of fires assets in support of deep operations. Recommend counterfire and target engagement priorities in the deep area. Coordinate for, integrate, and synchronize joint and multinational fires in the deep area to include suppression of enemy air defense. Lead the targeting working group to: Recommend targeting guidance and proposed changes to the high-payoff target list, target selection standards, and attack guidance matrix to the commander. Recommend target nominations for joint fires. Recommend changes and refinements to the air tasking order. Protection Cell 3-10. Led by the chief of protection, the protection cell coordinates the activities and systems that preserve the force through risk management. This includes tasks associated with protecting personnel and physical assets. Elements of the following staff sections form this cell are: chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear; engineer; personnel recovery; and provost marshal. The protection cell coordinates with the G-6 signal staff section to further facilitate the information protection task. Specific responsibilities of the protection cell concerning operations in the deep area include but are not limited to the following: Develop and maintain the protection running estimate in support of current and future operations.
