Description: The purpose of this article is to apply a theory of operational and tactical information operations (IO) employment as limited and non-lethal effects during counterinsurgency operations. It focuses on four integrating elements of IO: psychological operations, civil-military operations, public affairs and computer network operations. The author simulates a practical case of IO and develops a concept of operation. The approach presented is from a Spanish army perspective. He finds that the knowledge and managing of IO is of significance and will become essential to understand and face the scenes of future conflicts and new wars.
