Info War? What happened to Info Ops?

Just out of curiosity, can someone tell me why the SP went straight for Info War rather than the all-encompassing Info Ops? And are we (the readers) to assume that since it's Info War, and most articles (Most, not all!) posted here relate to CyberWar, that Info War equates to CyberWar? Will we not be dealing with any of the areas in the full spectrum of Information Operations that DON'T include network attack or defense? For instance Public Affairs, Civil Affairs, PSYOP, OPSEC. These too are pieces of the info ops pie. It's not all about computers - though hack attacks grab a lot of headlines, while a well planned and executed information campaign using 'non-lethal' and even 'non-hostile' processes can be a combat multiplier, and yet it?ll never make the six o?clock news.
example: Keeping displaced persons (refugees) off of MSRs during combat operations would probably be considered helpful to the commander, while the reverse (having the MSRs blocked by crowds of hungry, frightened, and sometimes hostile people, in which the enemy could very well hide) would be considered detrimental to maneuver capabilities.
Just some thoughts to kick things off?
