With the dual-hat responsibility of being the Army\u2019s chief information officer and leading G-6, the Army\u2019s communication and C4 division, its new head intends to focus heavily on the latter job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I want to make sure that I pay close attention to the G-6 role,” Maj. Gen. (promotable) Bruce Crawford said at TechNet Augusta on Thursday in his first public remarks since assuming the role Aug. 1 from retired Lt. Gen. Robert Ferrell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m of the opinion that one of the major lifts for me as the G-6 and chief information officer is … I won\u2019t call it a pivot because you\u2019ve got both CIO responsibilities and you\u2019ve got G-6 responsibilities, but I am going to orient and I am going to focus on the G-6 responsibilities because that\u2019s where a lot of our people are,\u201d Crawford added. \u201dThat\u2019s where the young, hungry captains and lieutenants are. That\u2019s where the sergeant is, and that\u2019s where the warrant officer lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following his remarks at the Augusta, Georgia-based conference, he told C4ISRNET there are several roles for the G-6 from a war fighter\u2019s perspective. One involves ensuring the personnel with the proper skill sets are serving in the appropriate roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the big jobs of the G-6 is to make sure \u2014 especially down through the grade of major and captain \u2014 that we are putting the right people in the right places,\u201d he said. This will involve more than hosting a forum, he added \u2014 there must be a solid relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The target audience here, he added, is Army officials in charge of C4 \u2014 or command, control, communications and computers \u2014 Training and Doctrine Command, Materiel Command, and Forces Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawford noted that he will need to know and understand their problems and challenges in order to better serve them, especially at the tactical level. Instead of talking about the enterprise as its own separate entity, he added, he has to be able to articulate the impact of the enterprise at the tactical level as the area he can most help the 6s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army network<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army officer also emphasized how the network should work for the soldier, not the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network \u2014 namely the Army\u2019s tactical battlefield network known as the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical, or WIN-T \u2014 has recently been subject to significant criticism, especially from Capitol Hill, with Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., calling it a \u201cdebacle<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Lessons from WIN-T: Buying smarter to avoid obsolescence<\/a>]<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army, under the direction of the chief of staff, is currently undergoing a top-down review of its network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawford noted there has still been no decision from senior Army leadership on the future of the service\u2019s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crawford explained that the network must be viewed as a weapon system and all of its mission areas should be evaluated to get at the network the Army needs vice the network it has. These mission areas include intelligence, business, war fighting and enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of network characteristics of the the Army is seeking, Crawford said it should be simple and intuitive; ready, available and resilient in all environments; expeditionary, mobile and capable of voice, data and video on the move; and it has to enable the soldier to observe, orient, decide and act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a technical standpoint, the network has to have a process of mitigating electronic signatures, Crawford said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have seen credible reports that WIN-T has ineffective line-of-sight communications, is not survivable, is too fragile to survive in a contested environment and has an electromagnetic signature so loud that it practically would call for enemy artillery on the top of users\u2019 heads,\u201d Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo as we\u2019re putting all this capability out in the battlefield, we\u2019ve got to leverage the intellectual curiosity and capability of industry in addition to our own \u2026 because I happen to know that [the Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center] is doing work right now to reduce some of the electronic signatures of our radios and our command posts,\u201d Crawford said. \u201cBut we\u2019ve got to make sure we get after that, especially given some of the direct fires, cyber, indirect fire, electronic warfare capability that our near-peer threats have developed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doug Wiltsie, the director of the Army\u2019s Rapid Capabilities Office, said at the same conference commented on the current network review: \u201cAs we move out of one type of conflict into what we believe are one or two very different types of conflict, we\u2019re making adjustments to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRemember that the threat gets a vote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let this review play, he added. This review needs to be done, he said, especially given new technology the Army wants to field, where the threats are driving the types of geographic regions in which the Army expects to fight. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the things the Army is going to have to wrap its head around is: Does everybody need the same capability?\u201d said Gary Martin, program executive officer for Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical, who spoke alongside Wiltsie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin added that the service performs technology refreshes every few years and is just completing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNext year we start the next cycle. The Army\u2019s huge,\u201d he said, adding that to give a new capability to the entire service takes a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real issue the Army must address, he said, is whether everyone needs to be equally equipped. The force will have to balance how long it takes for a new capability to touch the entire Army versus trying to spin out more quickly and get at portions of the service. However, this model raises concerns of variations across the force that could lead to compatibility issues between units and in training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
