The problem is likely simply a difference in definitions (but maybe not...I find it hard to keep a bound on my ignorance:). How did information operations eliminate the fog of war during the Gulf War? Before you answer, it might be helpful if you give a definition of information operations and fog of war, and then give a specific example. Are you calling reconaissance an information operation? I see how information operations can cast the fog of war over an opponent, but aside from hindering your enemy I don't understand advantage to oneself. [snip...] ------------------------ Yahoo!
