• Ensure IE effects comply with R&W guidance, legal constraints, and exercise control guidance.

• Monitor and validate that planned IE actions are conducted as approved and do not create uncontrolled outcomes.

• Utilize the Information Operations Network (ION) and other approved tools and platforms to replicate the information environment, including social media presence, adversary-style messaging, influencer tactics, and engagement patterns, threat websites, propaganda pages, multimedia exploitation, and other adversary communication techniques.

• Implement immersive, interactive content and monitor participant interaction where appropriate.

• Work closely with storyline authors, OPFOR, and intelligence SMEs to align IE content with overall exercise narrative, desired effects, and intelligence requirements.

• Conduct classified and unclassified research on emerging adversary information tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and translate findings into replicable exercise inputs that are safe and doctrinally representative.

• Produce IE planning products, adjudication logs, content libraries, timelines, and after-action inputs to support AARs and lessons learned.
