Joint Vision 2020 and the Information Warrior

The Department of Defense's "Joint Vision 2020" makes it clear that attracting and retaining people with the intellect, training and motivation to prevail across the spectrum of military operations is critical to the future success of our forces. To that end, developing and retaining "information warriors" capable of conducting decisive information operations is a strategic, operational and tactical imperative. To fail in this endeavor will significantly jeopardize our ability to prevail in future conflicts.
