DOD Announces Release of 2023 Strategy for Operations in the Information Environment

Today, the Department of Defense released the 2023 Department of Defense Strategy for Operations in the Information Environment (SOIE).  

The 2023 DOD SOIE will improve the Department's ability to plan, resource, and apply informational power toward integrated deterrence, campaigning, and building enduring advantage as described in the 2022 National Defense Strategy. This will enable the DOD to deter challenges to U.S. vital national interests in any arena or domain.

The 2023 DOD SOIE identifies four lines of effort to enable the Department to fully integrate and modernize operations in the information environment: 

  • People and Organizations
  • Programs
  • Policies and Governance
  • Partnerships

This Strategy is an important step forward in swiftly and seamlessly synchronizing and integrating our operations in the information environment to strengthen integrated deterrence, as well as gain and sustain information advantages for DoD activities and operations.
