  INFORMATION
  2-104. Army forces integrate all relevant military capabilities through the execution of five information
  activities (enable, protect, inform, influence, and attack). An information activity is a collection of tasks
  linked by purpose to affect how humans and automated systems derive meaning from, use, and act upon, or
  are influenced by, information (ADP 3-13). Each information activity incorporates several tasks and subtasks
  from the warfighting functions to achieve a variety of friendly and threat-based objectives. The five
  information activities are as follows:
  * Enable.
  * Protect.
  * Inform.
  * Influence.
  * Attack.
  2-105. The fires warfighting function is the related tasks and systems that create and converge effects in all
  domains against the threat to enable operations across the range of military operations. These tasks and
  systems create lethal and nonlethal effects delivered from Army, joint, and multinational forces. The fires
  warfighting function contributes to the enable, protect, influence, and attack information activities.
  2-106. The fires warfighting function contributes to enabling the exercise of C2 through the targeting
  process. The delivery of fires contributes to protecting data and information, affecting threat C2 targets, and
  influencing target audiences. Through the targeting process, commanders identify, select, and prioritize
  targets and match the appropriate capability (or delivery platform) to targets to create desired effects. This
  includes identifying and attacking enemy C2 nodes, information systems, radars, ground control stations, and
  sensors to affect the enemy’s decision cycle. Capabilities used to attack these targets range from cannons,
  rockets, and missiles to offensive cyberspace operations, electromagnetic attack, and offensive space
  operations. See ADP 3-19 for more information on the fires warfighting function. See ADP 3-13 for more
  information on information and information activities.
  DECEPTION
  2-107. Army forces support or conduct three types of deception, military deception, tactical deception,
  deception in support of operations security.
  2-108. Deception applies to all levels of warfare, across the range of military operations, and is conducted
  during all phases of military operations. Physical attack/destruction can support military deception by shaping
  an enemy's intelligence collection capability through destroying or nullifying selected ISR capabilities or
  sites. Attacks can mask the main effort from the enemy. When properly integrated with operations security
  and other information activities, deception can be a decisive tool in altering how the enemy views, analyzes,
  decides, and acts in response to friendly military operations. For more information on Army support to
  military deception, tactical deception, and deceptions in support of operations security see ADP 3-13 and FM
  3-90.
