From Policies to Procedures: The Next Step in Information Operations.

Abstract

An effective information operations campaign depends on the successful integration of information operations elements and capabilities into the joint force commander's overall operation plan. Information operations planning must begin at the earliest stage of a joint force commander's peacetime campaign planning and must provide a basis for subsequent information operations in crisis and/or conflict. Information operations planning for a particular military operation can occur as part of the deliberate planning cycle or in response to a crisis; therefore, this paper addresses information operations planning requirements in relation to the deliberate and crisis action planning processes. It also discusses methods of planning, integrating and executing information operations and provides some tactics, techniques, and procedures in an effort to link information operations policy and doctrine to information operations execution.
