In the digital age, misinformation has become a pervasive challenge, particularly in the context of military information support operations (MISO).

Conceptualizing narrative intelligence as a critical tool in countering misinformation within the irregular warfare construct—and examining the role of cyberpsychology in shaping narrative strategies—allows for insight into the effective deployment of narrative intelligence in internet-based MISO.

This study highlights the advantages of narrative in misinformation operations, including emotional connection, memorability, contextualization, counternarratives, community building, and adaptability.
