Army ISR Task Force’s Post

In the aftermath of WWII, there were fragile trends toward the unification of the communications intelligence (COMINT) activities of the military services. Under the Department of Defense, the Stone Board, led by Rear Admiral Earl Everett Stone, USN, was established to make recommendations for reforming and reorganizing military cryptologic activities. The services were split between unification and keeping the status quo, but ultimately the Secretary of Defense determined that unification needed to happen. The Armed Forces Security Agency (AFSA), NSA’s direct predecessor organization, was created on May 20, 1949, with RADM Stone named as its first director. AFSA nominally accomplished the merger of the COMINT processing activities of the Army and Navy organizations. It was an incomplete but important step in the movement toward the establishment of a national cryptologic effort. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gcXRDzmZ

“The value of time, that is of being a little ahead of your opponent, often provides greater advantage than superior numbers or greater resources.” – Sun Tzu Why Onebrief? Onebrief saves time.  Without innovation, there is a finite limit to the amount of time that a staff can harvest through training and experience. Onebrief’s approach to planning shatters the limits that constrained military planners for decades, creating opportunities to significantly outpace adversaries. Doctrinally, the value of Onebrief lies in its ability to allow commanders to increase tempo without incurring the traditional associated risks to both force and mission. On 11 & 12 September 2024, Onebrief will be at the Iron Mike Conference Center on Fort Liberty. Onebrief was created by military planners for military planners. I would love to show you why so many organizations are turning to Onebrief to revolutionize their planning and staff workflows.

The Decision Making Model: The OODA loop -- Observe, Orient, Decide and Act -- is a four-step approach to decision-making that focuses on filtering available information, putting it in context and quickly making the most appropriate decision, while also understanding that changes can be made as more data becomes available. The OODA loop developed by military strategist and United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd. He applied the concept to the combat operations process, often at the operational level during military campaigns. It is often applied to understand commercial operations, Businesses and learning processes.

Military writers often overcapitalize. It's not all our fault. The military tries to convince us that capitalizing certain words, like "Army" and "Soldier," signals respect or importance. But it doesn't--it just makes things awkward when we write for non-military people. Here are some tips for avoiding common errors: Do not capitalize initialisms... the joint planning process (JPP), multidomain operations (MDO), commanding general (CG) ...except for proper nouns the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Do not capitalize ranks and titles... the division commander, the colonel, the sergeant major ...unless they precede a name Colonel Smith, Sergeant Major Jones Do not capitalize units... the company, the corps, the squadron ...unless it's a unit name A Company, III Corps, 1st Squadron Finally, do not capitalize a word to make it seem important.

Check out the latest issue of Joint Forces Quarterly (Vol. 114) for an article co-authored by the Director of JAWS, Director of JCWS, and the Commandant of JFSC. “Jointness as Virtue: Increasing the Value of Joint Qualification to the Joint Force and Services” Abstract: Ιn “Balancing Nonresident Joint Professional Military Education With Military Life,” Commander Doug Morea makes the salient point that the current joint professional military education (JPME) process fails the individual joint warfighter in preparing for the challenges of serving in combatant commands and other joint forces.1 As joint educators, we agree with Commander Morea’s premise and offer that the current JPME model not only fails the individual joint warfighter but is also wholly inadequate for what the joint force requires both today and in an uncertain future. From the start, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense (DOD) Reorganization Act of 1986 enshrined JPME and the joint qualification process as a forcing function to reduce unhelpful parochialism and achieve unified action. Even today, a compromised system still exists, lacking standardization across the enterprise and persistently delivering educated officers too late and short in supply at all echelons of the joint force.

The U.S. government needs to be quicker about rolling out new integrated deterrence efforts, the Pentagon’s top military officer says, as global tensions have risen since the Biden administration made the concept a key part of its national-security strategy. “What is old is new again. What is new is further complicated by emerging domains and technology. We needed a deterrence strategy to be integrated by design to deal with these modern challenges, and I would argue we need to be faster at developing and applying our new framework,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. CQ Brown said Wednesday during U.S. Strategic Command’s Deterrence Symposium. Audrey Decker has more at: https://lnkd.in/ddVuyHXH #DOD #StrategicCommand #Defense

🇦🇺⚓️👏 ROHDE & SCHWARZ Australia will deliver integrated communication and control systems for the first batch of three Royal Australian Navy Hunter-class frigates. The Internet Protocol-based NAVICS communications technology provides reliable and secure voice and data communications for all naval vessel classes. “For Hunter we’ve built on the close collaboration between our headquarters and the UK operation we established for development of the Type 26 communications solution,” Rohde & Schwarz Vice President R&D Technology Systems Wolfgang Marchl said. “Now, with Rohde & Schwarz Australia also incorporated into this collaboration, we are well placed not only to deliver on this project but also for any future large naval programs that may be shared between the UK and Australia.” #military #army #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #australia #naval #navy
