Information Management in the JTF

Abstract

Commanders are drowning in information as staffs try to meet their information needs. Subordinate and higher headquarters flood the telecommunications networks with data to ensure everyone gets all the latest updates. The joint vision for the future is based upon network centric warfare enabled by information superiority. Most of the Department of Defense efforts are focused on the networks required to support future operations. But who decides what information is needed? This paper looks at current operations and the vision for the future to discern how the Information Manager will ensure the right information gets to the commander at the right place and time.
