The DIME model is a traditional abstract categorization of actions based on aspects of national power. DIME (Diplomatic, Information, Military and Economic) seeks to avoid counter-productive and conflicting activities during tactical operations by considering these factors in a coordinated manner during mission planning and execution. U.S. informational power is much larger than military information operations alone. 

The 'DIME' acronym has been used for many years to describe the instruments of national power. Each categorization - Diplomatic, Informational, Military, and Economic - is an instrument of national power (IOP). National power is defined as the sum of all resources available to a nation in the pursuit of national objectives. National power stems from various elements, also called instruments or attributes; these may be put into two groups based on their applicability and origin – “national” and “social“. 

National includes geography, resources, and population. 

Natural:
Geography
Resources
Population

Social includes economic, political, military, psychological and informational.
Social:
Economic
Political
Military
Psychological
Informational

The phrase instruments of national power refers to the tools a country uses to influence other countries or international organizations or even non-state actors. The United States National Security Strategy (NSS) is a mandated by Congress and is the principal document that lays out how the President plans to use the instruments of power to achieve US National Security objectives.

More broadly: Diplomatic, Information, Military, Economic, Financial, Intelligence, Law Enforcement (DIMEFIL) are the elements of national power. In an era of globalization that defines the current international environment, the lines of economic, political, and social dependence have become increasingly interwoven outside a nation’s borders.
