Turning the theoretical possibilities of network-centric warfare into real world battlefield operations is the reality of national security in the 21st century.

Success will be defined by how well we can apply network-centric capabilities and lessons learned to achieve strategic and operational effectiveness with next-level initiatives; by how well we turn data into intelligence and into action; and how well we achieve cooperation up and down the supply chain, across governmental and military departments, and with international allies.
