109.5d Discuss the relationship among maritime influence, IO, Public Affairs, and strategic communications.
- Effective strategic communications are essential to sustaining global legitimacy and supporting our policy aims.* …setting priorities for the Department of Defense in the areas of strategic communications and public diplomacy.* Application of Navy IO Include : CCDR, MHQ, and JFMCC (when assigned), will use IO to support TSCPs through presence, coordination with public affairs, port calls, multination exercises, peace operations, and support to strategic communications.* Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP): By providing international strategic communications for the foreign affairs community, IIP informs, engages, and influences international audiences about U.S. policy and society to advance America’s interests.* The USD(P) now co-chairs the Global Engagement Strategic Communications Committee (GESCC) with the ASD for Public Affairs. The GESCC is the Department’s SC coordination body that reviews DoD activities for consistency with national directives and represents DoD on Interagency SC matters. * Information Superiority Information superiority embodies the ability to collect, process, and disseminate the correct information to the right person, at the right place and time, in the right form, while denying an adversary the ability to do the same.* IO supports information superiority by corrupting, deceiving, delaying, denying, disrupting, degrading, or destroying one of the dimensions of information before it is presented to the adversary’s commander, while protecting the same friendly information dimensions.* Information superiority is achieved through effects-based approach to operations, maritime power projection, maritime influence, target development, and environmental awareness and shaping (EAS).* Maritime Influence: Naval forces deployed or stationed in areas overseas demonstrate our national resolve, strengthen alliances, and dissuade potential adversaries. IO provides significant support to maritime influence operations during the phases of planning and assessment. U.S. naval forces will protect and use information to influence adversaries, advance friendly objectives, and shape the operating environment to our advantage. With an effects based approach to operations, maritime influence coordinates the employment of maritime activities to affect the attitudes and behaviors of an intended audience in support of commander objectives. With the goal of advancing U.S. interests, maritime influence activities may include actions to deter adversaries, reassuring allies and friends, sending signals of U.S. interest, and fostering good will.* Information Operations impact the three dimensions of the information environment through a variety of capabilities. Electronic warfare and computer network attack both disrupt connectivity, while Soldier and leader engagement enhances connectivity. Military Information Support Operations, public affairs, and Soldier and leader engagement all provide content, while computer network operations can modify content, and units and individual Soldiers provide the most credible content through their actions. While Information Operations cannot modify human mental processing that occurs in the cognitive dimensions, it can apply computer network operations to alter the automated information processing systems. * While the capabilities used to achieve those effects should be unconstrained, primary supporting capabilities of strategic communication at the national strategic level are generally considered as Public Affairs (PA), military Information Operations (IO), and Public Diplomacy (PD). * Purpose of IO. Information Operations seek to influence the behavior of target audiences by changing their ability to make decisions, while simultaneously defending the friendly capability to make proper decisions.* While frequently referred to as “soft-power” or “non-kinetic,” IO includes the use of physical attack against adversary information systems or directly against decision makers. IO also employs technology-based activities to affect adversary information systems.* IO affects the target’s decision cycle (sometimes referred to as his “OODA-loop” (observe, orient, decide, act - loop)) is a means of influencing target behavior. Obviously, reducing an adversary’s ability to make timely and effective decisions will degrade his exercise of initiative or his response to friendly military action.* Within the information environment there are three conceptual dimensions of connectivity, content and cognitive.* “Connectivity” refers to the physical or electronic links, which enable information to flow and includes those non-technical relationships between people.* “content” is comprised of the words, images, databases, etc. that contain the information itself, as well as actions and inactions to which meaning is ascribed. This dimension links the physical real world with the human consciousness of the cognitive dimension both as a source of input (stimulus, senses, etc.) and to convey output (intent, direction, decisions, etc.). * “cognitive” dimension exists in the mind. This is where the individual processes the received information according to a unique set of perceptions (interprets the information), opinions (within a greater context of how he sees the world organized), and beliefs (on a foundation of core central values).* It should be noted that the cognitive dimension cannot be directly attacked (short of mind-altering drugs) but must be influenced indirectly through the physical and information dimensions. * Information Operations impact the three dimensions of the information environment through a variety of capabilities.* Information Operations impact the three dimensions of the information environment through a variety of capabilities. Electronic warfare and computer network attack both disrupt connectivity, while Soldier and leader engagement enhances connectivity. Military Information Support Operations, public affairs, and Soldier and leader engagement all provide content, while computer network operations can modify content, and units and individual Soldiers provide the most credible content through their actions. While Information Operations cannot modify human mental processing that occurs in the cognitive dimensions, it can apply computer network operations to alter the automated information processing systems. * Just as information operations can apply various capabilities to influence the information environment, these capabilities account for subtleties in the communication process when developing messages and when executing operations to convey these messages. These influences can be as elementary as using audio communications means with illiterate receivers, or as complex as accounting for the political influence of sub-tribal cultures when communicating in rural Afghanistan. * Core IO Capabilities. IO employs five core capabilities to achieve desired Combatant Commander effects or prevent the enemy from achieving his desired effects: EW, CNO, MISO, MILDEC, and OPSEC. They are operational in a direct and immediate sense; they either achieve critical operational effects or prevent the adversary from doing so. They are interdependent and increasingly need to be integrated to achieve desired effects.* IO related activities include Public Affairs* There are three military functions: public affairs (PA), civil military operations (CMO), and defense support to public diplomacy, specified as related capabilities for IO. These capabilities make significant contributions to IO and must always be coordinated and integrated with the core and supporting Information Operations capabilities. However, their primary purpose and rules under which they operate must not be compromised by IO. This requires additional care and consideration in the planning and conduct of IO. For this reason, the PA and CMO staffs particularly must work in close coordination with the IO planning staff.
