Educating Today's Warriors on the Information Battlefield
Abstract
The adoption of Information Operations as a Doctrine and the introduction of Functional Area 30 (Information Operations) in the U.S. Army have led to the creation of a new breed of warrior, skilled in the art of war and the science of technology. The integration of art and science is not new to the battlefield. The rapid pace of technological advancements defines today's battlefield. FA 30 Officers must become the operational integrators of the multiple disciplines that make up their area of responsibility. Each of these disciplines has become more automated and technical in recent years. Since the conflicts of tomorrow will not be fought alone, per JV 2010, we need to maximize the efforts of all the services in the development and delivery of this training. An integrated approach to training development will provide for better integration, more effective utilization of personnel and money, and produce increased synergy in training and execution. The training mechanisms, techniques, and delivery methods used should include synchronous and asynchronous methods. The objective is to maintain the skills of the officers in a continuously changing information environment while limiting the time they are removed from duty. Learning should be considered a life-long endeavor, not a requirement to be fulfilled
