This bill requires the Pentagon's Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to brief Congress on how the Department of Defense is addressing challenges in information operations, which are military efforts to influence public opinion and shape events in strategic regions around the world. Congress identifies several ongoing problems that need attention, including poor awareness of the information environment, unclear understanding of how long messaging campaigns take to work, and limited ability to analyze target audiences and measure whether U.S. information efforts are actually working. The briefing should describe concrete steps the Defense Department is taking to fix these issues, particularly through better coordination with the broader intelligence community and across the government. The bill establishes no specific funding, timeline, or consequences, instead simply directing that this informational briefing be delivered to the congressional committees that oversee defense spending and military matters.
