Information Operations 2008

Singapore, Central Singapore 179031

The objective of Information Operations (IO) is to augment military effort by promoting and protecting own force information and information systems while exploiting or degrading an adversary's information and information systems - a state of information superiority. This course considers the scope of IO to encompass military (Information Warfare) and non-military actions (Information Assurance) and is conducted during times of conflict, counter-insurgency and during peacetime for homeland security.

At its very core, military information operations (IO) are about information and its utility as a capability to wage war. Without a doubt, our adversaries use information to further their goals and to thwart our national interests and objectives. If this situation was not noticeable prior to the events of September 11, 2001, it is certainly obvious now. Information has become a commodity for use by armed forces and national security forces, and the information environment is now a critical part of the military and security operating environment.

This in-depth, practical training will fundamentally change and enhance the way you design, plan and implement your IO campaigns in an increasingly complex security scenario in the Asia Pacific region.

At the training event, learn :

Examine the roles and value of IO in a comprehensive information strategy and ensure your IO planning can deliver effects
Gain IO insights from U.S. and Australian case studies, and concentrate on its actual challenges, capabilites and accomplishments in the real world and in recent conflicts
Enhance understanding of IO beyond the sole focus on technology to include IO’s physical nterconnectivity, content and cognitive dimensions
Use of enormous IO advantage to deal with complex homeland security and counter insurgency issues beyond the Department of Defence
Identify future development and latest application of IO tools, systems and media
