Information Operations

Information Operations (IO) refers to the use and management of information to influence perceptions and behaviors in a strategic way. This includes spreading or countering ideas, manipulating narratives, and utilizing media to achieve specific outcomes, often in military, political, or social contexts. The goal is to gain an advantage by shaping how people understand and respond to events or issues. IO combines elements of psychology, communication, and technology to create a cohesive strategy that can sway public opinion or disrupt adversaries, highlighting the power of information in modern conflicts and decision-making processes.
