Information Management: The Joint Task Force's Key to Achieving Information Superiority
Abstract
Joint Vision 2010 identifies information superiority as the key enabler for decisive operations and, ultimately, full spectrum dominance. Advances in information and sensor technologies have exponentially increased the quantity of information that a JTF receives. However, simply having access to vast amounts of information does not guarantee that a JTF will achieve information superiority. The information must be properly processed and disseminated. Therefore information management (IM) is one of the most critical challenges that a JTF faces-one that it must successfully surmount in order to achieve information superiority. Despite great progress in IM training and doctrine in the past few years, IM remains a challenge to JTFs. The key to successful IM in a JTF is to develop a successful information management plan (IMP) and the commander's involvement in all aspects of IM. The IMP should contain comprehensive instructions and procedures for the collection, processing, prioritization and dissemination of information. Clearly, information management (IM) is a challenge and must be resolved in order to realize the full spectrum dominance envisioned in JV 2010.
