Good afternoon Ms. Crose,

While processing your FOIA Request (please see attached) we have determined that your request is too broad, and we are unsure which agency is your request meant for. The term "Information Operations exercise" is believed to be a military term and may be under DOD. Please advise which agency your request is intended for and clarify what exactly it is you're seeking. If you have any questions, please rely them to me.
Thanks,

Kaleah

I am searching for DoE's participation in any inter-agency cybersecurity test, particularly where the DoD may have been involved in some way which took place during the timeframe provided. The term "prosperity games" may be used as well, but I believe this would have only been used in communications with DoD.

From: Department of Energy

Good morning,
The FOIA request you submitted on November 24, 2023 has been transferred to DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). I have attached the final response letter for your reference.
