Effects-based operations

Abstract

In recent times, in addition to traditional diplomatic actions and hostilities, the use of indirect action technologies, which are undermining the rival state from within, is increasingly being used to address the current world interstate problems. There are many called such technologies: "soft power", "reasonable power", "controlled chaos", "hybrid wars" and more. Within these technologies, special operations known as " еffects based operations" (EBO) are used. The article examines the implications of such operations and the future of countries, provided they are applied globally. It is noted that the "network structures", which were created in advance in the territory of the country of the victim of aggression, are used for the implementation of the EBO algorithms. This means that the formation of a "network" in the target countries is the deprivation of states, peoples, armies and governments of independence, sovereignty and subjectivity, transforming them into rigidly managed, programmed mechanisms. Base effect operations are special algorithms for organizational weapons for conducting warfare. The main technological tool of network war involved in the implementation of the EBO — "network nodes" is considered. These include civil society organizations: non-governmental organizations (NGOs), non-profit organizations (NРOs), foundations, civic organizations, movements and political parties, newspapers and magazines, youth organizations, as well as corrupt officials and human rights defenders. It is noted that the main purpose of organizational and informational aggression is a qualitative change of traditional cultural and spiritual life, violation of the continuity of national ideals and values, dismantling of historical memory. The information pressure that the initiates of the orgwein exert on a continuous and continuous basis is capable of damaging unifying national elements by distorting or destroying the traditional points of unity of the nation (orchestral weapons) of value.
