The Cornerstone of Information Security

Abstract

Fall 2003 marked the beginning of a critical time in the execution of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) began its third rotation as operational controlling (OPCON) authority for Afghanistan. At this same time, the US Army NATO (USANATO) Brigade celebrated its first year in existence. Neither NATO nor USANATO understood the roles and responsibilities that lay ahead to accomplish their mission. Every facet of support to the newly created NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), in Afghanistan, required certification. Everything from pre-deployment training and equipment issue, to deployment transportation and operational execution, to transfer of authority processes and resettlement procedures proved ineffective. Over the next two and a half years, NCOs got the opportunity to solve these problems. These results served as the cornerstone for all present and future Information Security operations.
