Information Operations Roadmap

2006 The Pentagon’s War on the Internet: BBC News reported on the Information Operations Roadmap, the United States military's approach to information warfare, with an emphasis on the Internet.

The operations described in the document include a wide range of military activities: public affairs officers who brief journalists, psychological operations troops who try to manipulate the thoughts and beliefs of an enemy, computer network attack specialists who seek to destroy enemy networks, and a major disinformation project to plant false stories in any available (non-domestic) news media.
