History
The Joint Information Operations Center (JIOC) stood up in September 1999. It was redesignated from the Joint Command and Control Warfare Center, which was formed from the nucleus of the former Joint Electronic Warfare Center. In 2006, the Joint Information Operations Center changed its name to the current Joint Information Operations Warfare Command. On May 15th, 2009, the JIOWC was re-designated as the Joint Information Operations Warfare Center. This is due to the presence of a civilian director versus a military commander. On 1 Oct 2011, JIOWC transitioned from USSTRATCOM to a Chairman's Controlled Activity (CCA) under the direction of Joint Staff J3.
