Organizing for Network Centric Warfare: Creating and Empowering Chief Information Officers within the Combatant Commands

摘要

Creating and empowering Chief Information Officers (CIO) within the Combatant Commands and Joint Task Forces will create organizational structures that will facilitate the alignment of information technology and war fighting processes and enhance the commander's speed of command. Bringing the Command CIOs together with their counterparts on OSD (C3I), the Joint Staff, services and agencies for CIO Council trade space discussions will accelerate decision cycles for joint, interoperable system acquisition. The organizational, technical, and cultural evolution will facilitate the transformation to Network Centric Warfare concepts.
