The Army on Friday stood up a Pacific-based detachment tasked with countering disinformation and “malign influence” aimed at America and its allies and partners by adversaries.
The 1st Theater Information Advantage Detachment, headquartered at Fort Shafter in Hawaii, is the first of three such units the Army aims to stand up before the end of 2026. The second is slated to be stood up this spring at Army Cyber Command, with the third expected to be activated next fall at U.S. Army Europe and Africa.
