2006 Department of Defense Chief Information Officer Strategic Plan, Version 1, The Power of Information Access Share Collaborate

摘要

The Department of Defense is transforming to become a Net-Centric force. This transformation hinges on the recognition that information is one of our greatest sources of power. Information is a strategic component of situational awareness which enables decision makers at all levels to make better decisions faster and act sooner. Ensuring timely and trusted information is available where it is needed, when it is needed, and to those who need it is at the heart of Net-Centricity. As stated in the DoD National Defense Strategy of the United States of America, 'Transforming to a network centric force requires fundamental changes in processes, policy, and culture. Change in these areas will provide the necessary speed, accuracy, and quality of decision- making critical to future success.' From an information perspective, this transformation is embodied in the Net-Centric Global Information Grid (GIG). The DoD Chief Information Officer (ClO) provides the leadership to meet the Net- Centric vision and ultimately delivers the critical enabling capabilities required by the National Defense Strategy against an evolving threat from both internal and external sources. The 2006 DoD ClO Strategic Plan identifies actions that are critical to transforming DoD operations from platform/organization-centric to Net-Centric. This document is intended to provide a common understanding of the near and mid-term actions required to meet the vision and extend Net-Centricity across the Defense Information Enterprise. The actions described and requested encompass the full breadth of the transformation and include doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership/education, personnel and facilities (DOTMLPF) implications.
