AI-Infused Cognitive Stack Multi-Adversary Influence Operations Capability
The AI-Infused Cognitive Stack delivers comprehensive cognitive warfare and influence operations capability across three nation-state doctrines in thirteen on-demand courses, approximately 120 hours of structured curriculum. Russian doctrine — reflexive control, the Gerasimov operational overlay, information alibi tradecraft, Russian Grey Zone APT timelines. Chinese doctrine — APT group attribution and Ministry of State Security (MSS) operational tradecraft. Iranian doctrine — IRGC influence operations and Iranian cyber psyops measured against STEMPLES Plus. Plus NATO cyber psyops doctrine, Cyber Warfare strategic frame, People & Narrative Intelligence (PEOPINT) methodology, Psychology of the Seven Radicals adversary HUMINT framework, Color Revolutions analysis, and Disinformation defense. AI-infused tradecraft throughout — generative AI applied to adversary persona simulation, narrative analysis at scale, and structured adversary profiling. Built for cognitive warfare practitioners, influence operations analysts, IC officers, strategic communications teams, and foreign service personnel operating across multi-adversary information environments. Individual component value $8,347 — bundle delivers all thirteen for $6,999 (savings of $1,348 / 16% off). Most cognitive warfare programs cover one adversary at a time. This stack covers all three.

Adversary Doctrine Coverage
Three Nation-State Cognitive Warfare Doctrines
Most cognitive warfare training programs cover one adversary at a time. This stack covers all three of the principal nation-state cognitive-warfare doctrines that Western analysts encounter daily.
Reflexive Control · Information Alibi · Grey Zone APT
Russian doctrine from foundational reflexive control through the Gerasimov operational overlay to information alibi tradecraft. Russian Grey Zone APT historical timeline and capabilities mapping.
APT Doctrine · MSS Tradecraft · PRC Influence
Chinese cognitive and information warfare. APT group doctrine, MSS operational tradecraft, and PRC influence ecosystem mapping. Cognitive warfare from the Chinese perspective.
IRGC Doctrine · Cyber Psyops · STEMPLES Plus
Iranian cognitive warfare from regional doctrine through cyber psyops. Iran's cyber capability measured with STEMPLES Plus across multiple dimensions of state action and grey-zone activity.
Capability Outcomes
Recognize. Characterize. Attribute. Counter.
The AI-Infused Cognitive Stack produces an analyst who can recognize, characterize, attribute, and counter adversary cognitive warfare operations across cyber, narrative, and HUMINT vectors. Six core capability outcomes:
Map Adversary Doctrine
Recognize Russian reflexive control, Chinese APT and MSS tradecraft, and Iranian IRGC cyber psyops doctrine in the wild — and explain why specific operations look the way they do.
Detect Information Alibi
Identify Russian information alibi tactics — when adversary messaging creates plausible cover for operations — and counter with attribution-strong reporting.
Counter Disinformation
Recognize and disrupt narrative manipulation, weaponized influence operations, and color-revolution-pattern activity across cyber, social, and traditional media channels.
Apply NATO & Cyber Warfare Doctrine
Frame defensive and authorized operations within NATO cognitive warfare and cyber warfare doctrinal models. Operate within rules of engagement that hold up to legal and operational scrutiny.
Analyze Narrative Targets (PEOPINT)
Apply People & Narrative Intelligence — how state actors manipulate, exploit, and weaponize civilians as unwitting participants in psychological and narrative warfare campaigns.
Profile Adversary HUMINT
Apply the Russian Seven Radicals framework to adversary persona assessment, social engineering defense, and cyber HUMINT analysis of influence operations actors.
13 Courses, One Enrollment
Bundle Components — Multi-Adversary Cognitive Warfare Arc
Courses are grouped into five functional bands: foundations, adversary doctrine (Russia / China / Iran), methodology, NATO and cyber warfare doctrine, and defense. Individual prices shown for transparency — bundle delivers all 13 for $6,999 ($1,348 savings vs purchasing individually). The deeper value position is breadth: three nation-state doctrines plus NATO plus PEOPINT plus Cyber Warfare under one enrollment.

Treadstone 71 is listed in the CISA NICCS training catalog as a recognized cybersecurity workforce development provider, and the courses included in the AI-Infused Cognitive Stack are part of that recognized catalog. Training is also IAFIE-aligned and follows PHIA standards language.
Treadstone 71 is a veteran-owned, woman-led cyber intelligence firm operational since 2002, codifying CIA and DIA-style intelligence tradecraft for the cyber domain. The firm's foundational capability rests on a rare synthesis of United States Air Force cryptologic linguistics (Arabic and Russian), United States Army armored reconnaissance, academic study of Middle Eastern and Russian history, language, and political systems at Trinity College, Middlebury College, and Colgate University, and direct in-country immersion in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during the formative years of the modern jihadist movement (1988–89). A Master of Science in Information Assurance from Norwich University extends the field tradecraft into enterprise-scale risk management. The aggregate methodology has been continuously refined across four continents of operational engagement.
Treadstone 71 was honored with the 2007 RSA Conference Award for Excellence in the Field of Security Practices and the 2007 SC Magazine Award for Best Security Team. Operational engagements span clandestine cyber HUMINT, real-time OSINT support to the Boston FBI following the 2013 Marathon bombing, FBI special-agent OSINT instruction, and senior-leader briefings at NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CyCon, Estonia), the United States Naval Academy, the Air Force Institute of Technology, and Johns Hopkins. From 2009 to 2014, Treadstone 71 codified field-tested clandestine cyber tradecraft into the first master's-level cyber intelligence curriculum, established at Utica College. The Cyber Intel Training Center is the operational continuation of that curriculum — IAFIE-aligned, PHIA-standards-compliant, and listed in the CISA NICCS cybersecurity workforce development catalog.
