The decision to establish the 7th Signal Command (Theater) and its two subordinate brigades (93rd and 106th Signal Brigades) will mark a significant improvement in how the Network Enterprise Technology Command/9th Army Signal Command (NETCOM/9th ASC) manages the CONUS portion of the LandWarNet. This paper examines aspects of pertinent organizational change models the principles of war, the tenets of Army operations and how the approved organizational change will enhance NETCOM's support to full spectrum network-centric operations. Specifically, this paper will address how improvements in full spectrum operations, computer network defense, LandWarNet situational awareness and how support to information enabled expeditionary operations enhances network operations within CONUS Finally, it proposes associated recommendations to ensure success of the new organizations.
