Preventing Network Centric Overload (End State Education for the Operational Commander/Staff)
Abstract
The future network centric battlefield will create a fog of war that cannot be imagined by today's operational leader. It is imperative that commanders are prepared to operate in a world in which technological capacity doubles at a yearly rate. An end state education system must be devised that prepares our senior leaders to operate a newly formed network centric task force with equipment, organizations and theory of use that most likely did not exist in the very recent past. An end state education system that promotes continual learning and fuels the desire to optimize the efficiency of the network centric organization through education is necessary to maintain dominance on the future battlefield. End state educational challenges exist and simply pushing information will further overload the operational commander. However, the right mix of philosophy, doctrine, educators and personal/organizational training tools will ensure that the operational leader is best prepared to battle command in the 21st century.
