One of the clearest examples of how the military wants to defeat adversaries using information warfare is by publicly disclosing what those enemies have been doing and what capabilities they have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information warfare can be abstract, combining cyber, intelligence, electronic warfare, information operations, psychological operations or military deception as a way to influence the information environment or change the way an adversary think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt our level, the most important thing we can do is to be able to expose what an adversary is doing that we consider to be malign activity, in a way that allows that to be put in the information environment so that now more scrutiny can be applied to it,\u201d Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh, commander 16th Air Force, the Air Force\u2019s newly established information warfare organization<\/a>, told reporters during a media round table in late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first ways the Department of Defense has sought to test this is through U.S. Cyber Command\u2019s posting of malware samples<\/a> to the public resource VirusTotal. Malware samples discovered in the course of operations by the Cyber National Mission Force are posted to the site to inform network owners. It also helps antivirus organizations of the strains build patches against that code and helps identify the enemies\u2019 tools being used in ongoing campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haugh, who most recently led the Cyber National Mission Force, explained how these cyber teams, conducting what Cyber Command calls hunt forward operations<\/a>, were able to expose Russian tactics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. military teams deploy to other nations to help them defend against malign cyber activity inside their networks. \u201cThose defensive teams then were able to identify tools that were on networks and publicly disclose them, [and] industry later attributed to being Russian tools,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was a means for us to use our unique authorities outside the United States to be able to then identify adversary activity and publicly disclose it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials have said this approach changes the calculus of adversaries while also taking their tools off the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDisclosure is more than just revealing adversary intent and capabilities. From a cyberspace perspective, disclosure is cost imposing as it removes adversary weapons from the \u2018battlefield\u2019 and forces them to expend resources to create new weapons,\u201d Col. Brian Russell, the commander of II Marine Expeditionary Force Information Group, told C4ISRNET in June. \u201cDisclosure forces the adversary to ask: \u2018How were those capabilities discovered?\u2019 It causes them to investigate the cause of the disclosure, forcing them to spend time on something other than attacking us. If I can plant a seed of doubt (messaging) that the disclosure might have been caused by someone working on the inside, it makes them question the system\u2019s very nature, perhaps spending more time and resources to fix the system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NSA has demonstrated a similar tactic when it created its cybersecurity directorate in late 2019. The entity was formed in part, due to the fact that adversaries were using cyberspace to achieve strategic objectives below the threshold of armed conflict. Now, the directorate uses its intelligence and cyber expertise to issue advisories to the network owners of cybersecurity threats so they can take the necessary steps to defend themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One recent advisory had direct bearing on a nation state\u2019s malicious activity, according to a senior intelligence official. In late May, the agency issued an advisory<\/a> regarding a vulnerability in Exim mail transfer agent, which was being widely exploited by a potent entity of Russia\u2019s military intelligence arm the GRU called Sandworm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cQuickly thereafter, we saw five cybersecurity companies jumped on it and really used that to deepen and expand and publish information about the GRU\u2019s infrastructure that they use to conduct their cyberattacks and further information as well,\u201d the official told reporters in early July. \u201cThat was terrific because we felt that that had a direct impact on a major nation state in terms of exposing their infrastructure … and we saw significant patch rates go up on a vulnerability that we knew they were using. That\u2019s the kind of thing that we\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military has had to think differently to combat for how adversaries are operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA central challenge today is that our adversaries compete below the threshold of armed conflict, without triggering the hostilities for which DoD has traditionally prepared,\u201d Gen. Paul Nakasone, commander of Cyber Command, wrote in prepared testimony before the House Armed Services Committee in early March. \u201cThat short-of-war competition features cyber and information operations employed by nations in ways that bypass America\u2019s conventional military strengths.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These disclosures or efforts to call out malign behavior have also taken the forms of media interviews and press releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Gen. Jay Raymond, the head of U.S. Space Command and the commandant of Space Force, said in a February interview<\/a> in which he detailed what he deemed unacceptable behavior by Russia in space, a surprising charge given how tight lipped the U.S. government typically is about its satellites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe view this behavior as unusual and disturbing,\u201d he said of Russian satellites creeping up to American ones. \u201cIt has the potential to create a dangerous situation in space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or consider that leaders from Africa Command on July 15 issued a press release<\/a> detailing the activities of the Wagner Group, a Russian security company, as acting on behalf of the Russian state to undermine the security situation in Libya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cU.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has clear evidence that Russian employed, state-sponsored Wagner Group laid landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in and around Tripoli, further violating the United Nations arms embargo and endangering the lives of innocent Libyans,\u201d the release said. \u201cVerified photographic evidence shows indiscriminately placed booby-traps and minefields around the outskirts of Tripoli down to Sirte since mid-June. These weapons are assessed to have been introduced into Libya by the Wagner Group.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Africa Command\u2019s director of operations called out Russia, noting that country\u2019s leaders have the power to stop the Wagner Group, but not the will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixteenth Air Force, at the request of C4ISRNET, provided a vignette of such behavior from Russia in the form of how it covered up the explosion of a radioactive rocket, dubbed Skyfall<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the service, Russia took extreme steps to curb monitoring of the site where the explosion took place and sought to conceal the true nature of the explosion potentially hindering surrounding civilian populations from receiving adequate medical treatment and guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With new forces integrated under a single commander, using unique authorities to collect intelligence and authorities to disclose, 16th Air Force is now better postured to expose this type of malign activity, which previously the U.S. government just didn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Pentagon leaders have explained that the dynamic information warfare space requires a new way of thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to think differently. We\u2019ve got to be proactive and not reactive with messaging,\u201d Lt. Gen. Lori Reynolds, the Marine Corps\u2019 deputy commandant for information, told C4ISRNET in an interview in March. \u201cWe have been very risk averse with regard to the information that we have. You can\u2019t deter anybody if you\u2019re the only one who knows that you have a capability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
