Making Stability Operations Less Complex While Improving Interoperability; Conference paper

摘要

Military support for stability, security, transition, and reconstruction as well as humanitarian assistance / disaster relief operations is as important and complex an endeavor as is major combat operations. A strategy will be presented, in keeping with US Department of Defense Network Centric Data Sharing policies, to make information sharing during stabilization operations less complex and more effective. This paper exposes how the emerging Stability Operations community of interest can leverage an open standard semantic core for multination command and control information sharing and how it provides an essential, extensible, foundation for communication among international organizations, non-governmental organizations and the military during stability operations. The vision, strategy, and methodology for diminishing complexity and increasing interoperability are presented.
