The Power of Information: Transforming the National Defense Team to an Internet World

Abstract

The National Defense Strategy clearly states how we will operate in the future - we will be Net-Centric. Our job is to deliver the critical enabling capability to conduct Net-Centric Operations. Our pioneering effort will radically change the way the entire Defense Enterprise does business. Defense transformation hinges on the recognition that information is our greatest source of power. We can leverage information to allow decision makers at all levels to make better decisions faster and act sooner. This booklet, the first in a series, takes us back to the basics: Why must we change? How are we changing? What does it mean to me? Rather than an in-depth technical discussion, this booklet focuses on a far more complex topic - What is Net-Centricity? Perhaps by reminding ourselves of the fundamentals, we can stay better focused as we work out the details.
