Social Media and Information Operations in the 21st Century
Abstract:
Modern military operations continue to be extraordinarily susceptible to the effects of cyber-based Information Operations (IO). Within social media lies the ability to gain a clearer perspective of the 21st-century battlefields, enabling rapid and informed decision making and decisive action by commanders and their staffs. This paper discusses emerging trends, threats, and concepts that are being employed by numerous actors around the globe to gain positional advantage both internal and external to the cyberspace domain.
