Description

The concept of information operations has been introduced since 1998 by the Department of Defense, aiming to revolutionize warfare, diplomacy, and business. However, this transformation has not yet materialized. Two significant gaps remain: between policy and theory, and between funding needs and available funds for IO initiatives. Leigh Armistead explores these discrepancies in Information Operations Matters, explaining why they exist and suggesting ways to address them. He also discusses best practices in information operations, highlighting how key US government agencies can utilize the power of information to enhance strategic communication campaigns. Armistead recommends a more pragmatic approach to information operations, focusing on usable concepts, definitions, theories, and capabilities that are attainable with available resources. To meet current and future threats, he argues that this area of operations must be utilized as extensively as possible.
