  5-89. The specific focus of IW in adaptive operations may include
  • Control access. Use all means necessary, including IW, to delay or
  disrupt entry into the region and ultimately defeat the intervening force.
  • Control tempo. Use IW to attack critical C2 and logistics links.
  • Exploit atrocities of conflict. Use IW to weaken the enemy’s resolve
  to remain committed while promoting the OPFOR’s position as a victim.
  • Neutralize technological overmatch. Use IW to attack critical C2
  and RISTA nodes and destroy supporting infrastructures.
  • Attack reach-back links. Use IW to detect, jam, disable, or degrade
  critical nodes of communication.
  • Counter information dominance. (See the following paragraph.)
  5-90. The very systems and links upon which technologically advanced ene-
  mies rely for information dominance are also high-payoff targets for IAs or
  physical destruction. Denial of these resources at critical times can deny
  forces complete situational awareness. The OPFOR can also use the enemy’s
  robust array of RISTA systems against him. His large numbers of sensors can
  overwhelm his units’ ability to receive, process, and analyze raw intelligence
  data and to provide timely and accurate intelligence analysis. The OPFOR
  can add to this saturation problem by using deception to flood enemy sensors
  with masses of conflicting information. Conflicting data from different sen-
  sors at different levels (such as satellite imagery conflicting with data from
  unmanned aerial vehicles) can confuse the enemy and degrade his situational
  awareness.
