Achieving the Revolutionary Potential of Information Technology.

Abstract

Information Age technology has great potential for improving regional CINCs and JTF staffs ability to plan and direct operations. But effective implementation of Information Technology will require a revolution in current policies, doctrine, practices and organizations. Examples of the types of changes required are examined, using commercial business, an historical analysis of command and control, recent initiatives in the U.S. Intelligence community and changes in U.S. Marine Corps doctrine. The examples highlight the need to focus on implementing reforms which liberate our personnel from Industrial Age management practices and empower them to contribute to a more effective military force.
