During peacetime, the IEW system provides the intelligence and counterintelligence (CI) and defensive electronic warfare (EW) support essential to deterring war through vigilance and preparedness. During war, these mission areas and the addition of offensive EW, focus on supporting the winning of battles and campaigns. This IEW keystone manual expands doctrine contained in FM 100-5, and establishes the doctrinal foundation for IEW operations. It delineates the IEW mission on the modern battle- field, the IEW role in maximizing the combat power of the combined arms team, the princi- ples which govern tactical IEW operations, and the importance of sustaining IEW capabili- ties. The doctrine in this manual orients on principles and general procedures and is based on applicable Army of Excellence (AOE) tables of organization and equipment (TOE). More specific operational procedures are provided in doctrinal field manuals. This manual is designed for use by commanders, staffs, and trainers at all echelons. It is the foundation for Army service school IEW instruction and serves as the basis for IEW doc- trinal, training, and combat developments. Provisions of this manual are subject to international standardization agreements (STANAGs) 2008, 2014, 2022, and 3377. STANAG 2014 (Edition Five) is implemented by Appendixes C and E to this field manual. When amendment, revision, or cancellation of this publication affects or violates the international agreements concerned, the preparing agency will take appropriate reconciliation action through international standardization channels.
