The Application of Information Superiority to a Joint Task Force Headquarters

Abstract

Conceptual documents like Joint Vision 2010 (JV 2010), the Concept for Future Joint Operations (CFJO), and the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) postulate that advances in technology and information superiority will revolutionize the way military forces operate early in the 21st Century. The battlespace of tomorrow will be marked by more lethal weapons possessing greater accuracy and longer ranges; a higher tempo of operations with dispersed forces and increased mobility; greater situational awareness of the Joint Operational Area; organizational changes to military units; and better trained and equipped personnel. The impact of these changes suggests different alternatives for organizing the joint force headquarters. It addresses the key question: Is the present method of forming, organizing, and employing the Joint Task Force (JTF) Headquarters (HQ) adequate to command and control tomorrow's joint forces? If the answer is no, then how can technological innovations improve upon this function.
