Using Flexible Deterrent Options To Counter Adversarial Propaganda

Abstract

Given the complexities of our national government and the current international environment, the role of the Unified Command has changed dramatically. Increasingly, the U.S. military is being pulled into Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW). As a result the Combatant Commander is finding that synchronization among the national instruments of power within the AOR has become as important as synchronization on the battlefield. One area that the United States appears to be struggling with is how to counter adversarial propaganda effectively. Planning for and implementation of Flexible Deterrent Options (FOGs) may offer the Combatant Commander an opportunity to more effectively shape his theater environment.
