Information operations have gained importance in recent years. The capabilities to influence the enemy's information or the attitudes of the civilian population in theaters of conflict, and to secure one's own information and information systems, have become important success factors in military operations. The concept has given rise to vehement controversies, however. Disagreement remains over the nature and scope of operations that can be carried out by the armed forces of democratic states under the rule of law. Clarification is also required as to the distribution of responsibility and tasks at the interface of civilian and military authority.
