JBM Supports CENTCOM Efforts to Counter Extremist Ideologies

TAMPA, FL, April 20, 2009 – One of the threats that face U.S. forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan relates to violent extremist ideologies and its impact on violence throughout both operational theaters.  The United Stated Central Command (USCENTCOM) recognizes this threat, and has charged its J3 Information Operations staff section with countering extremist information currently circulating throughout their area of operations (AOR). JBM was recently awarded a one-year subcontract to support USCENTCOM's efforts to impact the information environment throughout their AOR.  JBM will provide planning and analysis support to the effort to counter violent extremist ideology (CVEI) by developing and implementing comprehensive, self sustaining, long term CVEI campaigns that degrades popular support for violent extremist organizations. JBM brings tremendous operational experience, having provided on-the-ground IO planners, analysts, and targeteers to support IO efforts in both Iraq and Afghanistan, dating back to the initial operations in each country.  Tapping into our support to the Army's 1st IO Command, the Marine Corps' Information Operations Center, and the Air Force's National Air and Space Intelligence Center, JBM connects multi-Service experience into creating tangible effects that directly impact operations throughout USCENTCOM.   For more information about JBM’s support to the Information Operations programs, please contact JBM’s Business Development Team.
