Overview

Air Force Doctrine Annex 3-13 Information Operations 28 April 2016 The purpose of information operations (IO) is to affect adversary and potential adversary decision making with the intent to ultimately affect their behavior in ways that help achieve friendly objectives. Information operations is defined as the integrated employment, during military operations, of information-related capabilities [IRCs] in concert with other lines of operation to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the decision making of adversaries and potential adversaries while protecting our own. Deliberate targeting of an adversary's decision making process is enabled by understanding the cognitive factors related to that process, the information that they use, and how they receive and send information. IO is an integrating function, which means that it incorporates capabilities to plan, execute, and assess the information used by adversary decision makers, with the intent of influencing, disrupting, corrupting, or usurping that process. This is not the same as integrating non-lethal capabilities and activities, which may or may not have a behavior-related objective as their primary purpose.
