Air Force Association and
Eaker Institute for Aerospace Concepts
Defense Colloquium on Information Operations
San Antonio, Texas
March 24-25, 1999
The Air Force Association and the Eaker Institute for
Aerospace Concepts regularly sponsor Defense Colloquia to
highlight key issues affecting national security. In no other
area is the pace and extent of technological change as great as
in the realm of information.
In an “information age,” increasingly more complex
information systems are critical to the conduct of military
operations and at the same time they open the door to a wide
range of new vulnerabilities for military commanders. However,
it is not clear that the organizational issues have been
resolved to ensure that information operations are effectively
led and coherently carried out across the wide spectrum of
government and private agencies that are involved. This Eaker
Colloquium will feature prominent national defense planners and
information operators who will discuss the key issues
surrounding information operations.
