What is Information Environment Assessment?
Information Environment Assessment (IEA) is the systematic analysis and evaluation of the information landscape within which military operations take place. It is a critical intelligence function that helps commanders understand how information flows affect the battlespace.
IEA examines both the technical infrastructure (communication networks, media platforms, digital systems) and the human aspects (perceptions, narratives, decision-making processes) that shape how information is created, shared, and interpreted.
IEA helps identify information-related threats and opportunities, including disinformation campaigns, electronic warfare vulnerabilities, and potential cognitive effects on target audiences. It provides the foundation for planning information operations and defensive measures. This comprehensive picture allows leaders to effectively integrate information activities with traditional military operations.
