The United States military is under almost daily attack. DoD officials will not comment further on the attack because it is a law enforcement and intelligence matter.
Few people can deny the world is in the midst of an Information Revolution.
Information technology is changing the face of warfare just as the Industrial Revolution did on 19th century battlefields. DoD has not been caught napping. Rather, the department has been laying the groundwork for military operations in the cyberworld. It is in the form of a military doctrine known as Joint Publication 3-13, Joint Doctrine for Information Operations . Published in October 1998 under the signature of Army Gen. Henry H. Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it provides warfighters with the fundamental principles they need to engage an enemy whose weapon of choice is bytes, not bullets.
