Bottom Line Warfighter First

• Listen to the warfighter in the field
• Adapt capabilities to support each phase of the
  operation
• Use a flexible, standards-based technological
  framework for rapidly injecting new capabilities
• Demand training/rehearsal and support processes
  to manage technological complexity and challenge
  of dynamic operational environment
• Emphasize Joint and Coalition engagements
