At the outset of this study, the Task Force observed that there was no such thing as just tactical communications. Rather, it saw requirements for conducting military operations in two major theaters of war as well as for conducting a wide variety of other missions. It also saw emerging requirements for a telecommunication infrastructure to support rapid force projection,early entry, reachback/split-base and high mobility operations. Furthermore, Joint Vision 2010 (JV2010) assumed information ...Read more >

Given the lack of political will to reverse the drawdowns of the military force structure of the 1990s, our National Military Strategy will continue to emphasize a strategy based on the ability to project forces quickly and as lightly as possible. Joint Vision 2020 (JV2020) articulates that in future warfare information superiority is a fundamental enabler to successful operations. To achieve information superiority, it will be crucial that the deployed warfighter has extensive communications ...Read more >
