Air Force Information Warfare Doctrine: Valuable or Valueless?

By Paul R Henning

Is Air Force information warfare doctrine valuable or valueless? This research paper answers three fundamental questions about Air Force information warfare doctrine. First, why do we need Air Force information warfare doctrine? Second, what is the status of Air Force information warfare doctrine? Third, at this time, how useful is Air Force information warfare doctrine for today's Air Force? To best answer these questions, this research paper examines the origin of Air Force information warfare doctrine in relation to information warfare theory and experience, the status of Air Force information warfare doctrine in comparison to sister service and joint information warfare doctrine, and the near-term usefulness of Air Force information warfare doctrine to Air Force members. The author concludes that the Air Force needs to publish its information warfare doctrine as soon as possible to help reduce the "fog" associated with this topic and to generate further discussion and development of the concepts and guidance in this critical area.
