Joint ISTAR Concept to CapabilityKey themes

• Integration of command and ISTAR
• Information Management
• A single ISTAR Community
• Reconfiguration and flexibility
• Consistency of process, people and information
• Enhanced, integrated use of Non-Traditional
  ISTAR
• Joint Resource Management (of ISTAR capability)
• Improvements in the DCPD cycle
• Better interoperability (Jt, Inter-Agency
  Multinational)
