Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual, “Visual Information Operations,” provides the visual information activities, roles, management and support from the operational through the tactical levels of war. This manual describes the capabilities and components of visual information assets and defines the organizational structure and responsibilities of visual information activities at each level. When applicable, the reader is referred to supporting publications for more detailed information. Visual Information is the use of one or more of the various visual media with or without sound. Generally, visual information includes still photography, motion picture photography, video or audio recording, graphic arts, visual aids, models, display, visual presentation services, and the support processes. The mission of VI activities and Soldiers is to acquire and provide the President, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Joint Staff (JS), military departments, and Army commanders with record documentation, multimedia/VI products, and services to satisfy official requirements. Security classification, operations security or subject sensitivity should not be used to prevent visual information documentation (VIDOC), since VI products can be classified at any level required. The official requirements, which VI Soldiers can provide support to may include, but are not limited to, command and control (C2), training, education, logistics, human resources, special operations, information operations (IO), psychological operations (PSYOP), public affairs (PA), and intelligence to effectively convey accurate intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to the Soldier, decision-makers, and supporting organizations. However, because these Soldiers have specific missions that require special training, augmentation is limited to providing support, which a commander requests and for which the VI Soldier is equipped and trained. VI Soldiers may be required to perform dedicated VI capabilities to support medical, safety, and criminal investigation. VI support is limited to official events or activities. The priority set for VI support will be established with consideration to mission, cost effectiveness, and the quality and quantity of products and services available. The use of VI products, equipment, or facilities for other than official purposes, such as loaning equipment to local and state governments or nonprofit organizations meeting on government property, is at the discretion of the local commander in accordance with (IAW) Army Regulation (AR) 700-131, AR 735-5 and AR 25-1.

Also called VI. Joint Publication (JP) 1- 02. This chapter defines and addresses VI, its mission, support, the Defense Imagery Management Operations Center, VI responsibilities, and activities.The mission of VI activities and Soldiers is to acquire and provide the President, Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), Joint Staff (JS), military departments, and Army commanders with record documentation, multimedia/VI products, and services to satisfy official requirements.

The use of VI products, equipment, or facilities for other than official purposes, such as loaning equipment to local and state governments or nonprofit organizations meeting on government property, is at the discretion of the local commander in accordance with (IAW) Army Regulation (AR) 700-131, AR 735-5 and AR 25-1.The commander is surrounded by common-user systems that provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. In order to capitalize on the benefits this new technology offers, the commander must fully grasp the applications, advantages, effects, and limitations of these systems and their products. The same is true in regard to the organic and attached VI assets at the commander's disposal. Commanders at all levels must understand the capabilities and potential uses of VI assets and the far-reaching effects of VI products. As the result of a shrinking military information environment, imagery plays an important role in shaping events; VI products and imagery have the potential to profoundly affect and influence operational success. VIDOC is the process of using motion media, still photography, and audio equipment to acquire audio and visual records of events. VI Soldiers, specifically trained to acquire, process, and transmit imagery and products, collect VIDOC. Resulting VI products include photographs, motion pictures, video recordings, graphic art, visual aids, models, and displays.When processing VIDOC, AR 25-1 mandates that each garrison/location have a single director of information management (DOIM), designated by and established under the garrison commander. The garrison DOIM is responsible for delivering computers and information management common-user baseline services and is the single authority for validating that purchases of information technology resources on the installation comply with Army standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information operations (IO) creates effects in and through the information environment. IO optimizes the information element of combat power and supports and enhances all other elements in order to gain an operational advantage over an enemy or adversary. These effects are intended to influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp enemy or adversary decision making and everything that enables it, while enabling and protecting friendly decision making. Because IO's central focus is affecting decision making and, by extension, the will to fight, commanders personally ensure IO is integrated into operations from the start

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Still and moving images are crucial factors in contemporary political conflicts. They not only have representational, expressive or illustrative functions, but also augment and create significant events. Beyond altering states of mind, they affect bodies and often life or death is at stake. Various forms of image operations are currently performed in the contexts of war, insurgency and activism. Photographs, videos, interactive simulations and other kinds of images steer drones to their targets, train soldiers, terrorise the public, celebrate protest icons, uncover injustices, or call for help. They are often parts of complex agential networks and move across different media and cultural environments. This book is a pioneering interdisciplinary study of the role and function of images in political life. Balancing theoretical reflections with in-depth case studies, it brings together renowned scholars and activists from different fields to offer a multifaceted critical perspective on a crucial aspect of contemporary visual culture.

Download or read book Realizing the Potential of C4I written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-06-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.
Download or read book Short term Visual Information Forgetting PLE Memory written by A.H.C. van der Heijden and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this title was originally published in 1981, the information processing approach to perception and memory was dominant in experimental psychology, and the research reported here had major implications for future development. After exploring the shortcomings of earlier work in this field, the author develops a new model which he shows to be capable of accounting for a variety of experimental data connected with human information processing, visual perception and attention. The central theme which is discussed is how we select relevant and discard irrelevant information. The basic assumption is that all incoming information is identified, that is, it reaches and activates the appropriate lexical entries. A piece of identified information is described as a unit consisting of three distinguishable codes: a visual code, a lexical or semantic code and a motor or action code. Identified information decays fast, so selective attention operates by selecting those units which have to be saved from this rapid decay. In a sense, therefore, the human information processor is described as struggling against forgetting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern means of communication have turned the world into an information fishbowl and, in terms of foreign policy and national security in post-Cold War power politics, helped transform international power politics. Information operations (IO), in which time zones are as important as national boundaries, is the use of modern technology to deliver critical information and influential content in an effort to shape perceptions, manage opinions, and control behavior. Contemporary IO differs from traditional psychological operations practiced by nation-states, because the availability of low-cost high technology permits nongovernmental organizations and rogue elements, such as terrorist groups, to deliver influential content of their own as well as facilitates damaging cyber-attacks ("hactivism") on computer networks and infrastructure. As current vice president Dick Cheney once said, such technology has turned third-class powers into first-class threats. Conceived as a textbook by instructors at the Joint Command, Control, and Information Warfare School of the U.S. Joint Forces Staff College and involving IO experts from several countries, this book fills an important gap in the literature by analyzing under one cover the military, technological, and psychological aspects of information operations. The general reader will appreciate the examples taken from recent history that reflect the impact of IO on U.S. foreign policy, military operations, and government organization.
