Truth and Deceit: Media Relations and Military Deception.

Abstract

The Joint Force Commander (JFC)can conduct "good faith" media relations in operations that involve operational deception by directing early coordination between Command and Control Warfare (C2W) and the Public Affairs Officer (PAO) . PADs must ensure that the legitimate professional interests of news media are addressed as well as the operational needs of the JFC in operational planning. To plan for future operations, military leaders must understand evolving DOD policy on media relations, recognize the changing role of of PADs, and update joint doctrine to provide guidance on PAO/C2W coordination.
