Self-Synchronization - The First Step

Abstract

By examining new and classical elements of warfighting with self-synchronization as a goal, some ideas emerge as to what steps are necessary to guide the development of the human-centric aspect of Network Centric Warfare within the U.S. military to create self-synchronization. This paper argues that by implementing fundamental, yet realistic, changes to basic operational art ideas: Culture, Doctrine, and Command and Control, the U.S. military will take the next step towards self-synchronization and significantly improved combat speed in future wars.
