Scope & Objective

The Army, in collaboration with mission partners and many stakeholders, is building a robust, secure, integrated, standards-based, global network that enables commanders to successfully apply strategic land power in the complex environments of today and tomorrow.  A key objective of the symposium is to engage in an open discussion on the readiness of Army Network to support current and future requirements; to develop the resources and policy required to execute the network strategy, to enable mission command across the force, and to prepare for the Joint Information Environment of the future.
