Abstract
With the introduction of the Information Warfare (IW) paradigm across military service components, the institution of a new education focus is apropos. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the shifts in thought regarding IW and how the introduction of the fields of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), electromagnetic warfare (EW), and information operations (IO) is changing how we educate our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and government civilians. The multidisciplinary ramifications will be discussed separately in order to better define each discipline’s requirements and individual foci as they apply to cyber operations (CO), ISR, EW, and IO.
