IO4300 Planning and Execution of Military Operations in the Information Environment

This course is designed to introduce students to operational level joint planning (like at a combatant command or a joint task force) for the application of information power. Students will plan, integrate, and synchronize the full range of Joint Force capabilities, operations, and activities for leveraging information into a reality-based joint operational plan. Students who successfully complete the course will possess a thorough understanding of both joint doctrine and accepted “best practices” of information planning and will be better prepared to serve in a joint operational level information billet.
