Deployment, employment, and sustainment (D-E-S) are beginning to merge. May need to create a D-E-S system with the ability to Support a variety of widely dispersed, non-contiguous, complex Joint Operations-simultaneously. Observation: Unified Quest ‘03 Thoughts • Think as a G2: • Manned/unmanned sensors • Arrayed in an operational architecture • Integrated systems and materiel solutions • Same Architecture, assets and processes used for deployment, employment, and sustainment • Information transferred to capability: • To move and track Blue Force • To move/track CSS • To achieve operational agility and reduced vulnerability from stategic distances • Standing Joint Task Force to execute deployment, employment, and sustainment in JOA’s/Theaters (Application of Science and Art)
