Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Fred, Ozair, Vernon, :-) We distinguish 5 operation types in IW: (the same way you distinguish aerial refueling, interdiction, etc. in air power) [these are the result of our research here at IMS and in the "Swiss Crows" (local AOC chapter) community] disruption; deception; destruction; public information management and operational security measures. not all of them are to be expected or executed in all situations. All need a lot of intelligence preparation and existing information assurance infrastructure and procedures. As of psyops (for example), they can go in three distinct directions: deception (desinformation, works with wrong and specially manipulated information), public information management (works with true information that is used at the right time, place, quality and quantity) or disruption (where one tryies to reduce the opponents or public attention to a certain subject by "noise"). I have more on that if it is of interest. Comments? Cheers Rick > >> Question: >> >> Is all of information warfare based on deception? >> > >Certainly an interesting question.
