The article examined the problems and issues of increasing and strengthening the image characteristics of the Armed Forces of Uzbekistan in close connection with the socio-political changes taking place in the country in recent years. The initial thesis of this article is that a stable trend towards the establishment of the information community has now clearly emerged. Progressive and progressive development of the state and society without the development of the information sphere is impossible. The informational nature of management puts information as such and the possibilities of its use in a dominant position. This circumstance cannot but be taken into account when forming the country’s military doctrine. The strength of the Armed Forces and their reputation in modern society is largely determined by the analytical and information activities of the army itself.
