Applying Advances in Information Operations to Peace Enforcement

Abstract

The Armed Services of the United States are experimenting with concepts that use recent advances in information technologies to enhance its information operations. Two of these concepts are Network-Centric Warfare and Army Battle Command System being developed by the United States Navy and the United States Army, respectively. These concepts are being applied to enhance military operations in the combat environment. However, there is some question as to their usefulness in the Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) environment that the Armed services will continue to be involved in. This paper examines the applicability of these concepts to information operations in the MOOTW environment using the peace enforcement operation in Bosnia, Joint Endeavor/Joint Guard, as an example. It also examines the impact these developments may have on our allies, coalition partners, government and non-government organizations in this environment.
