Joint Information Environment – End State The Network is Core to a Smaller, More Capable, Better Trained Expeditionary Army • We Must Train as We Fight • Deploy Little to No Notice Anytime, Anywhere in Austere Environments • Installations as a Docking Station • Modernized From Strategic Core to the Tactical Edge • Single Secure Network • Incorporate Echelons Above Army Requirements • Centralized Management and Decentralized Execution A Single, Secure, Standards-Based, Versatile Infrastructure, Linked by Networked and Redundant Transport Systems, Sensors, Warfightingand Business Applications, Along with Data to Provide our Soldiers and Civilians the Information They Need, When They Need It, in Any Environmentto Manage the Army Enterprise and Enable Full-Spectrum Operationswith Our Joint, Coalition, and InteragencyPartners HTTP://CIOG6.ARMY.MIL
Tactical Network Modernization Strategy • Mission Command • Capabilities • C2 On the Move • Display and share relevant tactical info • JIIM interoperability • Standard & shareable geospatial foundation • Enable Multi-form Collaboration • Create, communicate, and rehearse orders • Execute running estimates • Training Support
Managing the Network with Capability Sets • Building Capability Sets : • Aligned to ARFORGEN • Backward/Forward Compatible • Vertically aligned – TOC to the Soldier • Provides a true ‘network’ – limited field ‘integration’ • Standards-based • “Incremental” Modernization Re-Defined • Industry is key to what we are doing CS15 COE 1.X AVAILABLE POOL x Corps HQ x Div HQ xx BCTs xxK Enablers RESET, TRAIN & READY POOL Fielding CS14 COE 1.0 AVAILABLE POOL RESET, TRAIN & READY POOL 1 Corps HQ 5 Div HQ 20 BCTs 90K Enablers Fielding CS13 AVAILABLE POOL RESET, TRAIN & READY POOL Fielding CS = Capability Set Our Most Important Task - Aligning the Network Against ARFORGEN

Network Integrated Evaluation Construct What Fort Bliss Brings to the Game What is the NIE? What We Have Accomplished • A Series of Semi-Annual Evaluations Designed to Assess Capabilities and Integrate & Mature the Army’s Network • Aligns Networked Programs in One Place, Integrated into the Broader Capability Set Architecture • Combines Test & Evaluation to Integrate Network Components in one Operational Venue • Provides Valuable Soldier Feedback • Leverages Industry and Evaluate Emerging Network Capabilities • Validate Capability Set Prior to Fielding • Executed 4 NIEs • Established An Integrated Network Baseline • Aligned PORs to Capability Sets • Validated Capability Set 13 Prior to Fielding • Reduced the Integration Burden on the Warfighter Work Still To Be Done - NIE Implementation • Implementing DOTMLPF Recommendations • Shaping Future NIEs
