From the earliest ages, technological innovations shaped strategies and tactics, often resulting in new eras in military operations. Proliferation of technology, exemplified by computers and sensors, challenges civilian and military decision makers and military leaders to understand radical changes associated with the information age, and capabilities and vulnerabilities associated therewith. Information Operations (IO) challenges traditional, conceptual, and operational approaches to borders, boundaries, and sovereignty. Title 10 and Goldwater-Nichols currently define military organizations, structure, functions, and influence organizational evolution. In this context, how should the US organize for IO? Is a a new or non-traditional organizational structure needed to address IO? How might relationships within the Intelligence Community and with the DoD be affected? Identify, define, evaluate the range of potential policy constraints (e.g., tradition, doctrine, regulation, public law) on IO that civilian and military decision makers confront in planning and implementing IO campaigns? Examine ongoing research detailing US Information Infrastructure...what are the most pressing "Achilles' Heels?" How can US leverage technologies, organizations, concept of operations, and strategies to fend off threats to our infrastructure?
