Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com Preface Information is an element of combat power. Commanders conduct informa- tion operations (IO) to apply it. Focused IO—synchronized with effective in- formation management and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance— enable commanders to gain and maintain information superiority. IO is a prime means for achieving information superiority. Users of FM 3-13 must be familiar with the military decisionmaking process established in FM 5-0, Army Planning and Orders Production ; the operations process, established in FM 3-0, Operations ; and commander’s visualization, described in FM 6-0, Mission Command: Command and Control of Army Forces.

PURPOSE As the Army’s key integrating manual for IO, this manual prescribes IO doc- trine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). It also establishes doc- trine and TTP for the IO elements of operations security and military decep- tion. This manual implements joint IO doctrine established in JP 3-13, Joint Doctrine for Information Operations ; JP 3-54, Joint Doctrine for Operations Security ; and JP 3-58, Joint Doctrine for Military Deception . This manual establishes the following as the definition of IO used by Army forces:

Information operations is the employment of the core capabili- ties of electronic warfare, computer network operations, psychologi- cal operations, military deception, and operations security, in con- cert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to affect or defend information and information systems, and to influence deci- sionmaking. This definition supersedes the definition of IO in FM 3-0. It is consistent with joint initiatives. SCOPE The publication addresses IO doctrine in Part I and TTP in Part II. Part I also establishes Army operations security (OPSEC) and military deception doctrine.

APPLICABILITY This publication applies to Army forces from Army service component com- mand (ASCC) to maneuver brigade. It is most applicable to corps and divi- sions. The primary users of this manual are ASCC, corps, division, and bri- gade commanders and staff officers—specifically the G-2, G-3, G-7, and staff representatives for military deception, electronic warfare, operations secu- rity, fire support, psychological operations, civil affairs, and public affairs. Battalions normally execute higher headquarters IO. In stability operations and support operations, they may be given IO assets. Thus, they need to know their role in brigade and division IO. iii

Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 3-13 __________________________________________________________________________________ TRADOC service schools and branch proponents should use FM 3-13 as a point of departure for integrating IO into branch doctrine and military in- struction. ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Terms that have joint or Army definitions are identified in both the glossary and the text. The glossary lists most terms used in FM 3-13 that have joint or Army definitions. Terms for which FM 3-13 is the proponent manual (the au- thority) are indicated with an asterisk in the glossary. Definitions for which FM 3-13 is the proponent manual are printed in boldface in the text.

These terms and their definitions will be incorporated into the next revision of FM 1-02. For other definitions in the text, the term is italicized and the number of the proponent manual follows the definition. The glossary contains referents of acronyms and definitions of terms not de- fined in JP 1-02 and FM 1-02. It does not list acronyms and abbreviations that are included for clarity only and appear one time, nor those that appear only in a figure and are listed in the legend for that figure. Some common ab- breviations and acronyms—for example, the abbreviations for military ranks and publications—are not spelled out; refer to the glossary.

Since ARFOR is a defined term as well as an acronym, it is not spelled out. “President” refers to the President and the Secretary of Defense, or their duly deputized alternates and successors. All references to annexes refer to annexes to operation plans (OPLANs) or operation orders (OPORDs) unless stated otherwise. Unless stated otherwise, masculine nouns or pronouns do not refer exclu- sively to men. Headquarters, US Army Training and Doctrine Command, is the proponent for this publication. The preparing agency is the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate, US Army Combined Arms Center.
