Thoughts

• Think as a G2
• Manned/unmanned sensors
• Arrayed in an operational architecture
• Integrated systems and materiel solutions
• Same Architecture, assets and processes used for
  deployment, employment, and sustainment
• Information transferred to capability
• To move and track Blue Force
• To move/track CSS
• To achieve operational agility and reduced
  vulnerability from stategic distances
• Standing Joint Task Force to execute deployment,
  employment, and sustainment in JOAs/Theaters
