Appendix I 314 ATP 5-0.2-1 07 December 2020 Provide training during routine home station planning and training activities on appropriate EP active and passive measures under normal conditions, conditions of threat electromagnetic attack, or otherwise degraded networks and systems. Take appropriate actions to minimize the vulnerability of friendly receivers to enemy jamming (such as reduced power, brevity of transmissions, and directional antennas). Ensure redundancy in systems is maintained and ensure that personnel are well versed in switching between systems. I-14. Electromagnetic protection includes electromagnetic protection actions. Electromagnetic protection actions include— Electromagnetic compatibility. Electromagnetic hardening. Electromagnetic masking. EMS management. Emission control. Wartime reserve modes. ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE SUPPORT I-15. Electromagnetic warfare support (ES) is a division of electromagnetic warfare involving actions tasked by, or under direct control of, an operational commander to search for, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning and conduct of future operations. ES enables U.S. forces to identify the electromagnetic vulnerability of an enemy's electronic equipment and systems. Friendly forces take advantage of these vulnerabilities through EW operations. I-16. ES systems are a source of information for immediate decisions involving electromagnetic attack, EP, avoidance, targeting, and other tactical employment of forces. ES systems collect data and produce information to— Corroborate other sources of information or intelligence. Conduct or direct electromagnetic attack operations. Create or update EW databases. Initiate self-protection measures. Support EP efforts. Support information-related capabilities. Target enemy systems. I-17. Several actions relate to ES: Electronic intelligence is technical and geolocation intelligence derived from foreign noncommunications electromagnetic radiations emanating from other than nuclear detonations or radioactive sources. Also called ELINT (JP 3-85). Electromagnetic reconnaissance is the detection, location, identification, and evaluation of foreign electromagnetic radiations (JP 3-85). Electromagnetic security is the protection resulting from all measures designed to deny unauthorized persons information of value that might be derived from their interception and study of noncommunications electromagnetic radiations (e.g., radar) (JP 3-85). COMMANDER’S GUIDANCE WORKSHEET EXAMPLES I-18. Commanders can use a commander's initial guidance worksheet to provide guidance to the staff on how to plan and focus the mission analysis effort. This can also include identifying items the commander already understands; therefore, staff analysis is unnecessary. For example, the commander may state, "Describe the capabilities and limitations of the attached anti-armor company" or alternatively, "I am already familiar with the objective, so don't waste time describing it to me" (see figure I-2 for an example commander's initial guidance worksheet for use after the receipt of mission step of the military
