Abstract:

This publication establishes a detailed understanding of IO. It provides doctrine, principles, and concepts on the fundamentals of IO and its significance in joint operations. The concepts of offensive and defensive IO are extensively addressed, with emphasis on their capabilities and activities. Organization is discussed as a key ingredient to successful IO. Equally important are the strategic, operational, and tactical planning aspects of IO. Finally, the preparation of those personnel and organizations responsible for planning and conducting IO is achieved through extensive training, exercise, and modeling and simulation programs that mirror the manner in which the United States will employ military force.
