Transforming the Czech Armed Forces to Information Age Warfare

Abstract

At its summit in Riga in 2002, NATO adopted a document declaring Networked Enabled Capability (NNEC) as the key element of its transformation. Through this action, NATO member states pledged to contribute to the creation of a workable NNEC by building up their own national networked enabled capabilities. The president and commander in chief of the Czech Republic (CR) signed the document, obligating the country to contribute to an Alliance-wide NNEC. Transforming the Czech Armed Forces (ACR) into a 21st century information age, networked enabled force will have many challenges, and addressing all of them lies beyond the scope of this Strategy Research Project (SRP). This SRP examines the viability of current command and control concepts and the organizational structure of ACR for 21st century network-enabled warfare, addresses gaps in key doctrinal documents related to C2 concepts, identifies weaknesses in "Strategy for Networked Enabled Capability of the Czech Armed Forces" (SFNEC), and addresses SFNEC's inconsistent implementation. The SRP recommends doctrinal changes in C2 concepts, organizational changes in ACR, and changes in SFNEC implementation.
