Military operations occur in peace and war.
All are operations that the Army currently uses to gain and maintain information dominance as well as effective C2. Successful operations require effective C2 to transform military capabilities into applied military power. The more effective the force's C2 system, the more completely its capabilities can be realized in peace or war. As the Army's capstone doctrine for IO, this manual supports soldiers and leaders that execute IO to support military operations. It is specifically oriented at the operational and tactical levels of military operations.
