Military forces, operating as a networked force, can plan, decide, and act collaboratively and
concurrently to accomplish many tasks simultaneously. Operating in a collaborative information
environment will enable the joint force to transition from the use of a hierarchical, serial
planning process to the use of a parallel, collaborative planning process to produce reduced
decision times and an increased tempo of operations. Collaboration tool suites were introduced
during two recent events to support operational planning and decisionmaking processes by
providing an alternative means to communicate, collaborate, and share information among
warfighters that extends what is available in today’s current operational environments. One goal
for these events was to develop an understanding of the implications and effects of distributed
planing. A second goal was to obtain feedback on the effectiveness of these new tools for
supporting future military operations in a distributed, network-centric joint force and to identify
user-defined enhancements that would better meet future joint operational requirements. New
information technology tools, to be used as part of a networked, web-based collaborative system
were also introduced. This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the tool suites and
describes additional capabilities needed for future collaborative information environments.
Description
