Marawi – The Tipping Point for Information Operations in South East Asia | Australian Army

"The siege in Marawi now confirms an often-cited concern that as the US military-led coalition’s noose around Daesh’s strongholds in Iraq and Syria tightens; Daesh will seek new destinations to target. Daesh have declared SEA as an ongoing target.

Against this growing threat, one response option Australia may consider is a regional counter-Daesh Information Operations (IO) campaign. Such a campaign would prepare the ADF and its ASEAN partners for what may become a generational effort to combat Islamist Terrorism in the region."
