'What' and 'how' of Army network

[The Patriot]

Leaders of new cross-functional team, PEO C3T discuss how they're working to shape a future vision of the Army's network.The Army is committed to delivering a tactical network that will guarantee preparedness and victory over any adversary, but ensuring that success requires significant institutional and cultural change in how the Army modernizes the network. At the forefront of this effort is Maj. Gen. Peter A. Gallagher, director of the new Network Cross-Functional Team, one of eight established by the Army to pursue its six modernization priorities: network communications; long-range precision fires; next-generation combat vehicles; future vertical lift; integrated air and missile defense; and Soldier lethality. Under his leadership, the cross-functional team is shaping the future vision of the network, in accordance with the four lines of effort within the Army's network modernization strategy. Tasked with turning that vision into a reality is the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications -- Tactical (PEO C3T), under the leadership of Maj. Gen. David G. Bassett. This dynamic partnership is leveraging experimentation, prototyping and real-time Soldier feedback to acquire and field capabilities that will keep pace with emerging threats and prepare the Army to fight and win.
