Description:
This study reviewed and evaluated existing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for the integration and conduct of operations in the information environment (OIE) at the tactical level of war and identified requirements for OIE capabilities and integration at that level in order to identify effective TTPs for propagation across the joint force and other recommendations to close any identified gaps.
Operational Impact:
Results from this study support ongoing efforts to better understand and conduct OIE and information warfare in the US Army and Marine Corps. Specifically, findings and results from this study may contribute to service doctrine or technical manual updates related to IO and OIE and for multi-domain operations.
Transition:
This study supported the ongoing efforts of the Army’s Information Warfare Design Planning Team in the designing of service level tactical training and experimentation, and to the content of the Marine Corps Information Operations Center’s periodic combined unit exercises (CUX). Additionally, this effort continues to support the reintroduction and integration of Information Warfare (IW) and OIE into the efforts of Army conventional and Special Forces units from the operational to tactical level, including the Stability Force Assistant Brigades.
