Mr. Wallace’s 20+ year career in the information field ultimately led to a paradigm shift on how DoD thinks about and leverages information. Mr. Wallace led the ground breaking work captured in the Joint Concept for Operating in the Information Environment, the Operating in the Information Environment JROCM, and the codification of Information the Joint Function. The majority of the activities across the DoD from OSD level strategy and policy to the normalization of information across the Joint Strategic Planning System to service level doctrine and organizational experiments are all linked at some level to the ideas represented in the work above. Over 26 years, Eric led the development of the 3-13 Joint IO Manual, later leading and publishing the Joint Concept for Operations in the Information Environment, as well as Information as a Joint Function, and now the soon to publish Joint Information manual 3-04.
