Joint Information Operations Range

Abstract

The Joint Information Operations Range (JIOR) provides DoD with a closed-loop, persistent, geographically distributed network to support Combatant Command (CCMD), Service, and other government agencies (C/S/A) training, testing, and experimentation within threat representative environments with realistic and relevant targets and command and control systems of interest. JIOR provides C/S/A’s and key allied partners the ability to test deployment and collaboratively gain insights into advanced cyberspace and Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities under current and future operational environments. JIOR integrates available cyberspace ranges with the training/test audience providing access to low density/high demand test and training resources including critical infrastructure, cyber targets, internet traffic, and opposing forces. JIOR supports Presidential policy and CJCS mandates for training, certification, and recertification of 6000+ cyber mission forces and DoD/Interagency cyber vulnerability assessments. The JIOR security construct allows users to develop, test, and secure their military capabilities and protect their identity and capabilities during range activities. C/S/A’s conduct hundreds of mission rehearsal, training, testing, and experimentation events on the JIOR annually many of which take place simultaneously via secure virtual local area networks engineered and provided by JIOR.
