Information Operations: Countering the Asymmetric Threat to the United States

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract : The United States is dependent on information. As we move into the 21st Century our reliance on information systems will only increase. The cornerstone of Joint Vision 2010 is information superiority. Every facet of future military operations will be critically linked to an aggregate cyber network that relies on critical national infrastructures to provide for information superiority. This system of systems is vital in performing both routine and crisis action military activities. Our dependence on this infrastructure places the United States in a highly vulnerable position to asymmetric attacks. This paper will examine the impact on our military if it were unable to effectively communicate and coordinate. It examines the vulnerabilities of the information infrastructure and argues that recent national policy changes will be effective in dealing with the threats to both civil and military operations.
