Command and control warfare

Command and control warfare (C2W) is an application of information operations (IO)in military operations that specifically attacks and defends the command and control target set. The capabilities and activities employed in C2W (psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception, operations security (OPSEC), electronic warfare (EW), and physical destruction), as well as other less traditional methods focused on information systems, can be employed to achieve broader IO objectives that are outside the C2 target set.
