Bag om Inform and Influence Activities (FM 3-13)
Field manual (FM) 3-13, "Inform and Influence Activities," provides doctrinal guidance and directions for conducting inform and influence activities (IIA) and discusses the importance of information in operational environments. It describes the Army's view of how IIA aid the commander to gain an advantage through information. It develops the other principles, tactics, and procedures detailed in subordinate doctrinal publications. The publication does not address every information-related capability commanders can use to help shape their complex operational environments. It should, however, generate introspection and provide just enough guidance to facilitate flexibility and innovative approaches for commanders to execute the art of command to inform and influence. It also provides guidance to the staff to conduct IIA to achieve the desired effects that support the commander's intent and objectives. Commanders designate an information-related capability and are only limited by available resources.
