It does help the enemy. Order of battle info is traditionally classified, and assignments certainly are. We employ entire MI sections to do nothing but ferret out the enemy's order of battle. It is significant. In short, just about everything the enemy does not know helps our side....that's part of the information battle.
We use an enemy OB like a skeleton. Give us the skeleton up front and you'd be amazed at how quickly we can flesh it out.
All true. It might confirm what he already knows... assuming everything in the article is correct. Then again, it might be what we want him to think is true. Information warfare at this level is not always straight forward.
At any rate, his spies are probably already ferreting such info out and more... one possible reason why he is still alive.
"It is significant."
...oh yes.
"In short, just about everything the enemy does not know helps our side...."
Just like the MSM feeds us misinformation for their benefit, this information was carefully planned for it's objective.
"...that's part of the information battle."
Read article again. CODENAME coalition forces. LOL.
