A no-nonsense treatment of information operations, this handbook
makes clear what does and does not fall under information
operations, how the military plans and executes such efforts, and
what the role of IO ought to be in the "war of ideas." Paul
provides detailed accounts of the doctrine and practice of the five
core information operations capabilities (psychological operations,
military deception, operations security, electronic warfare, and
computer network operations) and the three "related" capabilities
(public affairs, civil-military operations, and military support to
public diplomacy). The discussion of each capability includes
historical examples, explanations of tools and forces available,
and current challenges faced by that community. An appendix of
selected excerpts from military doctrine ties the work firmly to
the military theory behind information operations. Paul argues that
contemporary IO's mixing of capabilities focused on information
content with those focused on information systems conflates
"apples" with the "apple carts." This important study concludes
that information operations would be better poised to contribute to
the war of ideas if IO were reorganized, separating content
capabilities from systems capabilities and separating the
employment of "black" (deceptive or falsely attributed) information
from "white" (wholly truthful and correctly attributed)
information.
