Information is central to everything we do—it is the basis of intelligence, a fundamental element of command and control, and the foundation for communicating thoughts, opinions, and ideas.

ADP 3-13, Information, is the Army’s first publication dedicated to information. It provides a framework for creating and exploiting information advantages during the conduct of operations and at home station. It represents an evolution in how Army forces think about the military uses of data and information, emphasizing that everything Army forces do, to include the information and images it creates, generates effects that contribute to or hinder achieving objectives. As such, creating and exploiting information advantages is the business of all commanders, leaders, and Soldiers.

ADP 3-13 serves as the Army’s foundational doctrine for information. It provides the fundamental principles for considering how Army forces use, protect, and attack data and information to achieve objectives while affecting the threat’s (adversary or enemy) ability to do the same. As a keystone publication, ADP 3-13 links the Army’s applications of information to all warfighting functions and methods of warfare.

ADP 3-13 is applicable to all members of the profession of arms: leaders, Soldiers, and Army Civilian professionals.
