MCWP 8-10 addresses the four functions of information (generate, preserve, deny, project) by describing a method for Marine Corps commanders and their staffs to plan and integrate information into operations and command activities. It provides the practical link connecting our maneuver warfare philosophy to the detailed tactics, techniques, and procedures found in reference or tactical publications. Further, MCWP 8-10 describes the means for conducting information by identifying those activities across all warfighting functions that can generate information advantages, and then presents a method to assess the effectiveness of those activities.
