USJFCOM Net-Centric Operations (NCO) Implementation Process Alignment (NIPA) Conference 3 November 2005 UNCLASSIFIED
NIPA Welcome Colonel Paul Law JFCOM/J69
Role of JFCOM in NIPA • JFCOM is DoD’s Transformation Laboratory • JFCOM’s experimentation and transformation frameworks provide for synchronization of effortsamong COCOMs and Services • JFCOM/J6 supports/facilitates command in accomplishing transformation, integration, training initiatives • JFCOM/J69 tasked with Net-centric Operations and transformation, including interoperability and integration of emergent technologies, concepts, and tools From: USJFCOM NIPA White Paper, 18 Oct 2005 UNCLASSIFIED
What is Transformation? • Transformation is the “process of changing form, nature or function” and requires: • Changing form/structure of military forces • Changing nature of culture/doctrine • Requires streamlining warfighting functions to meet complexities of new threats From: USJFCOM website, www.jfcom.mil/about/transform.html, 20 Oct 05 UNCLASSIFIED
… in a Net-Centric Environment Information Age Transformation UNCLASSIFIED
Challenges to Achieving NCO • Inability to keep concept development in step with technology • Cultural challenges: transformation requires us to change how we operate today • Historically disjointed approach to identifying, acquiring, testing, evaluating, integrating, and fielding Joint C4 Capabilities • Allowing the JCIDS process time to work From: Joint Chiefs of Staff/J6 Briefing, “Challenges to NCOE,” 2 Sep 05 UNCLASSIFIED
Urgency of Transformation "Terrorists have brains and use them. They adapt and improvise quickly. Despite the size of our bureaucracies, we must learn to be equally agile." Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld “On DoD Tranformation…” Washington DC UNCLASSIFIED
The Goal of NCO Transformation …to build an information grid! UNCLASSIFIED
