Looking for the Elephant Slicing, dicing, and boiling the various manifestations of information warfare produces a lumpy stew.
Information takes in everything from gossip to supercomputers.
With the background of the first part of this essay, it seems reasonable to return to the underlying issue of information as a medium of conflict. It could develop and organize the elements of the system, oversee their emplacement, interpret their emanations, maintain their integrity, and convey the results generated to the units that need them. As the author can attest, the notion of an information corps falls short of intuitive obviousness. No DoD corps, regardless of how broadly constituted, has cognizance of more than perhaps half the territory of information warfare. Even within that subset, however, the notion of an information warfare corps defined in terms of in its medium is problematic.
