“Message From Leadership”

“Our military will be leaner, but the world must know the United States is going to maintain our military superiority with armed forces that are agile, flexible and ready for the

full range of contingencies and threats.”- President Obama

“I don’t deny that there are going to be tough decisions that have to be made and tough

choices that have to be made, but we owe it to our citizens to provide both strong fiscal

discipline and a strong national defense.” - Secretary Panetta

“We must have an affordable modernization strategy that is integrated and synchronized

between our soldier programs, our networks, combat vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles,

aviation, and missile defense capabilities…” - Gen. Odierno

Joint Information Environment – End State

A Single, Secure, Standards-Based, Versatile Infrastructure, Linked by Networked and Redundant Transport Systems, Sensors, Warfighting and Business Applications, Along with Data to Provide our Soldiers and

Civilians the Information They Need, When They Need It, in Any Environment to Manage the Army Enterprise and Enable Full-Spectrum Operations with Our Joint, Coalition, and Interagency Partners

The Network is Core to a Smaller, More Capable, Better Trained Expeditionary Army

• We Must Train as We Fight• Deploy Little to No Notice

Anytime, Anywhere in Austere Environments

• Installations as a Docking Station

• Modernized From Strategic Core to the Tactical Edge

• Single Secure Network• Incorporate Echelons Above

Army Requirements• Centralized Management and

Decentralized Execution
