     SEC. 1628. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CYBER WARFARE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) As an instrument of power, information is a powerful 
     tool to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp an adversary's 
     ability to make and share decisions.
       (2) Within the information environment, actions taken in 
     cyberspace are increasingly part of the battlefield.
       (3) State and non-state adversaries deliver propaganda 
     through publically available social media capabilities.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) military information support operations should support 
     Department of Defense communications efforts and act to 
     augment efforts to degrade adversary combat power, reduce 
     recruitment, minimize collateral damage, and maximize local 
     support for operations; and
       (2) the Secretary of Defense should develop advanced 
     concepts to degrade adversary organizations using both 
     traditional and emerging forms of communication and 
     information related-capabilities.
