Engagement In The Information Environment With Adversaries, Competitors,

Dod's military operations in the information environment play a pivotal role in engaging our adversaries. Military contributes to information warfare by deliberately leveraging the inherent informational aspects of activities and by conducting operations in the information environment. Members of the u. s. Military, soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coast guard (ssamcg) need to understand how and why advertisers, competitors, and adversaries are using media to spread their message and exert influence. Americas competitors and enemies are moving quickly in the information environment, hoping to offset our enduring strategic advantages elsewhere.

The convergence of cyber threats with misinformation campaigns and societal polarization creates a complex risk environment that businesses must navigate carefully. Growing cooperation among u. s. Competitors and adversaries building on activities over the past two years, leaders in beijing, moscow, tehran, and pyongyang will strengthen their nations ties in their drive to undermine the influence of the united states and its allies.
