Information-Based Warfare Demands Change Now

摘要

Several years ago, I served as a director of communications and information in a major U.S. Air Force command. The director of operations called me in one day to discuss some of the actions we were taking within my directorate. While the general appreciated my proac-tivity, he told me I was crossing the line between my support role and his operational business. That was hard for me to understand because I always had believed communications and information were operations. Today's thinking seems to bear that out, and today's requirements demand that we do things differently.
