Approaching Transformational Coalition Operations along the Standardization, Interoperability and Integration (SI2) Continuum

摘要

This paper explores how an integrated approach to Coalition operations must be grounded in Standardization. Specifically, it posits the notion of the 'SI2 continuum' whereby Standardization leads to Interoperability enabling Integration of efforts among Coalition partners. By formally recognizing and following the phased processes along the SI2 continuum, national defence practitioners will ensure the rational and coherent generation of forces capable of effective integration into Multinational Effects Based Operations.
