Joint Functions III-27 network or by physical destruction. Integration and synchronization of EA with maneuver, C2, and other joint fires are essential. (c) MISO. MISO convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator’s objectives. MISO provide a nonlethal capability to craft messages using a variety of print, audio, audio- visual, and electronic media, which can then be delivered by air, land, and sea-based means or through cyberspace to select target audiences. MISO have strategic, operational, and tactical applications and must be considered early in planning to ensure maximum effectiveness. MISO are central to the achievement of objectives, so the JFC should address the approval authorities for MISO during planning to ensure integration and unity of effort between MISO, civil support (CS), and supporting IO. For additional guidance on EA, refer to JP 3-13.1, Electronic Warfare. For additional guidance on MISO, refer to JP 3-13.2, Military Information Support Operations. MISO support to non-US military is outlined in DODD S-3321-1, Overt Psychological Operations Conducted by the Military Services in Peacetime and in Contingencies Short of Declared War (U). (7) Limiting Collateral Damage. Collateral damage is an important consideration at all levels of command. Collateral damage is unintentional or incidental injury or damage to persons or objects that would not be lawful military targets based on the operational limitations existing at the time and does not violate the law of war so long as it is not excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated from the attack. Under the law of war, the balancing of military necessity in relation to collateral damage is known as the principle of proportionality. Limiting collateral damage will not only reduce the requirement to address civilian claims but may help better support friendly and HN actions to influence the population and reduce the magnitude of stability operations required. (8) Nonlethal Capabilities. Nonlethal capabilities can generate effects that limit collateral damage, reduce risk to civilians, and may reduce opportunities for adversary propaganda. They may also reduce the number of casualties associated with excessive use of force, limit reconstruction costs, and maintain the good will of the local populace. 5. Movement and Maneuver a. This function encompasses the disposition of joint forces to conduct operations by securing positional advantages before or during combat operations and by exploiting tactical success to achieve operational and strategic objectives. This function includes moving or deploying forces into an operational area and maneuvering them to operational depths for offensive and defensive purposes. It also includes assuring the mobility of friendly forces. The movement and maneuver function encompasses a number of tasks including: (1) Deploy, shift, regroup, or move joint and/or component force formations within the operational area by any means or mode (i.e., air, land, or sea).
