The DOD IO Roadmap signed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense directed that all the services make IO a core military competency. The Army has come a long way toward this goal but five years later the Army still does not have an Army Regulation that provides policy guidance for IO. During the 26 April 2007, Council of Colonels meeting, DAMO-ODI was tasked with developing the draft copy of an Army Regulation that provides guidance on IO.

With this in mind AR 525-20 Command and Control Countermeasures dated 31 July 1992, has been rewritten and renamed AR 525-20 Information Operations.

AR 525-20 is currently in staffing. For those with an AKO account, PM me and I will send you a copy of the draft. It goes counter to FM 3-0 and the rewrite of FM 3-13. It is more nested in Joint Doctrine.
