                   OPERATIONS.

       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) military information support operations are an 
     important component of Department of Defense communications 
     efforts and provide commanders with a valuable tool to shape 
     the operational environment; and
       (2) the Secretary of Defense should develop creative and 
     agile concepts, technologies, and strategies to more 
     effectively counter and degrade the ability of state and non-
     state adversaries to persuade, inspire, and recruit using 
     both traditional and emerging forms of communication and 
     information related-capabilities.
