Applied Concept:The Military Information Operations Function within a Comprehensive and Effects-Based Approach

Abstract

This concept paper is based on the Multinational Information Operations Experiment (MNIOE) White Paper "Information Activities in Future Coalition Operations - a Comprehensive Approach (from a Military Perspective)", dated 31 May 2007, which was coordinated and agreed among Multinational Interoperability Council (MIC) Partners and MNIOE participating nations and organizations at working level. The White Paper describes a common understanding of the Information Operations (Info Ops) function developed by the MNIOE participants during a lengthy course of discussions (since 2003). Meanwhile, this understanding has affected current national and multinational concept development, e.g., that of the European Union and NATO; many of the MNIOE group of experts were involved in the preparation of NATO's Allied Joint Doctrine for Info Ops. In order to further promote the MNIOE conceptual approach to Info Ops in an applied operational context, this Applied Concept also builds on AJP-3.103 in its current version, amending/adjusting the original as required.
