4 Synopsis: The Combined Enterprise Regional Information Exchange System-International Security Assistance Force (CENTRIXS ISAF) network is consistently perceived as a unique, niche requirement for the current fight in Afghanistan and not as the new joint, coalition norm. This misperception hinders the development of appropriate joint, coalition doctrine. Key Outcomes: This session will create awareness of the critical operational imperative that drove the establishment of the CENTRIXS ISAF network as well as the role Services and Agencies must play to resource this critical operational capability.

5 US formations commanded by US commanders Fought largely on SIPRNET Limited ability to mix US and Non-US formations Limited coalition access to key US enablers on SIPRNET 5

6 Hindered communication and information sharing Increased risks to life, resources, and efficiency Commander ISAF (COMISAF) requirement Flexibility in operational task organization across the coalition Ability to mix US and coalition formations down to company level Enabling COMISAF intent and operational requirement mandated a change to the coalition network norm. 6

9 Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) A federated network consisting of national extensions established to provide dataflow/information across national boundaries, with ISAF Secret as the AMN core. CENTRIXS ISAF US contribution to AMN, a single mission network that enables the exchange of information between ISAF and US forces and enables those critical combat enablers that support the CJOA-A. 9

10 The CENTRIXS ISAF Operational Assessment (OA) report provides context, lessons, and recommendations Combination of CENTRIXS ISAF and OA recommendations provides a credible template for an enduring mission network 10

11 A CENTRIXS ISAF-like network to support coalition, joint command and control on little-to-no notice, in support of ad-hoc coalition task organizations that enable all phases of operations. The United States likely will continue to conduct war fighting and humanitarian operations in coalition environments CENTRIXS ISAF, or a next-generation variant, almost certainly will be utilized in tandem with those mission networks in all future coalition operations. July 2011 Army Posture Statement COMISAF strongly endorsed AMN as the new norm and the right model for a future coalition network 11

13 Support a diverse set of CONPLANS with the flexibility to evolve into one or several mission networks/communities of interest Secure text chat, voice Web presence and tools with attachments Common operational picture Isolated from other networks and missions Ideally, built from commercially available hardware and software for routing, switching and processing 13

14 Must start with command and control requirements and the operational imperative, not technical details Requires affirmative DoD position Coalition warfighting and the mission network that enables it are the new norm Coalition data/application interoperability must be baked into Service/Agency materiel solutions Joint Staff J-8 agreed to lead concept development, in coordination with Combatant Commands, Services, and Agencies

15 Governance Essential organizational structures, standards and processes Operationally-aligned Supported by holistic capability planning Information Sharing Enables a true coalition fight Classification discipline is essential Balance need to know & need to share, write for release Training The level of complexity in the coalition environment demands a rehearsal framework in pre-deployment training 15

16 Ensure mission network is part of the posture going into campaign operations ready on little-to-no notice Ensure processes for acquisition, development and sustainment of materiel solutions support a coalition mission network norm Commit to appropriate manning, equipping and training to support coalition mission network as the new norm Ensure efforts to define a mission network template start with command and control requirements and operational imperative Ensure the future mission network template accounts for perspectives of commanders at the task force, regional and national level Help Combatant Commands avoid having to start from scratch in the middle of future campaign operations 16
