Information Related Capabilities (IRCs)

The Army’s First Information Warfighting Function: The Need for an Information Warfighting Function—Defeating Our Adversaries in Modern-Day Warfare

Abstract:

Competing with today’s adversaries requires that the United States Army create a seventh warfighting function—information—to synchronize and optimize existing Information-Related Capabilities (IRC). This assertion is based on the author’s analysis of exercises and deployments that demonstrated the need for a new enterprise capable of providing command and control, delegation of authorities, systematic planning of current and future non-kinetic operations, and intelligence support. This Information Warfighting Function (IWfF) would shape the contested space, protect U.S. force, engage with U.S. partners, and enhance sound decisions through an information lens.
