Information-related capabilities (IRCs) are

the tools, techniques, or activities that affect any of the three dimensions of the information environment. The joint force (means) employs IRCs (ways) to affect the information provided to or disseminated from the target audience (TA) in the physical and informational dimensions of the information environment to affect decision making and ultimately the adversary actions in the physical dimension.[1]
