Information Operations: America's Plan for Strategic Failure

Abstract

This paper highlights problems with America's approach to information operations. These are the military's operational-level fixation and the government's fragmented approach to information operations. The paper recommends leaders fully accept the strategic value of information, include information as an instrument of national power, and broaden the defensive approach of the President's Commission on Critical infrastructure Protection to include proactive measures.
