Mullen, August 2009 Introduction In a popular “Saturday Night Live” skit from 2000, despite the cowbell depicted as an afterthought in a fully integrated band, the audience learns a valuable lesson on the importance of “more cowbell.”1 To continue the metaphor, the cowbell has never been and will never be the primary line of effort in the band. But the cow- bell permeates throughout the music, often tying the entire performance together. Such is the fate of information operations in a joint environment, often consid- 20 AIR & SPACE POWER JOURNAL SUMMER 2020 More Cowbell: A Case Study in System Dynamics for Information Operations ered a “second- class citizen as a source of nonlethal effects, an afterthought bolt- on to fires, or worse.”2 On the contrary, information operations is often the capa- bility that binds joint operations together to make it successful.

No project like this could be done without a strong partner. Anne was all that and more. Her constant support and understanding made this possible, and the price was significant, from all the Sundays taking care of the kids while I worked at Starbucks to the lost evenings, absent vacations, nights out not taken, and other costs of an all-consuming project.
