Network-Centric Warfare

The United States military is arguably the most technologically advanced and well trained military in the world. Thanks to advances in information technology, Network Centric Operations (NCO) via the Global Information Grid (GIG) provides the United States armed forces a robust and reliable network to facilitate the sharing of information across the battlefeild. The ability to share information in real-time or near real-time significantly enhances the commander's purview of his battle space and his ability to make decisions to influence ongoing and future military operations. Collaboration tools are key components in information sharing between United State's Joint and Coalition forces. The demand for information superiority coupled with today's technological innovations has catapulted the United States into the Information Age.
