DOD list of Force Transformation case studies.On March 31, 2004, the Defense Department's Office of Force Transformation commissioned a number of "case studies" to determine the military's ability to conduct network-centric operations. Several are due to be completed during the summer of 2004. Others, focused on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, are scheduled for February 2005. Case Studies To date, one case study is complete, six are ongoing, and four are planned. The six ongoing case studies are scheduled to be ready for final review in July, 2004. The four planned case studies have a tentative completion date of February, 2005. COMPLETED Air-to-Air Mission This case study explored in detail the increased mission effectiveness that USAF F-15Cs employing data links achieved in comparison to F-15Cs using voice only communications. This case study is currently available in PowerPoint format only. ONGOING These case studies are supported by a select team of scientists, engineers, and military operators from throughout the international defense community. Command and Control of Networked Forces: CTF-50 During Operation Enduring Freedom This case study explores how Commander, Task Force 50 (CTF-50) during Operation Enduring Freedom employed innovative, network-enabled C2 capabilities. Phase I of this case study is complete. A draft final report has been developed and is currently out for review and comment. In December, 2003 the case study findings were briefed to Navy Rear Adm. Zelibor, commander of Task Force 50. He concurred with the findings and approved this case study for general distribution. Final draft is currently under review. Special Operations Forces Those Active and Reserve Component forces of the Military Services designated by the Secretary of Defense and specifically organized, trained, and equipped to conduct and support special operations. Also called SOF. This case study explores how Navy Special Warfare Group One is employing network-centric warfare Network-centric warfare (NCW), now commonly called network-centric operations (NCO), is a new military doctrine or theory of war pioneered by the United States Department of Defense. capabilities in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the Global War on Terrorism Terrorist acts and the threat of Terrorism have occupied the various law enforcement agencies in the U.S. government for many years. The Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, as amended by the usa patriot act . Air-to-Ground This case study explores the impact to date of the deployment of a variety of networking and digitization dig·i·tize tr.v. dig·i·tized, dig·i·tiz·ing, dig·i·tiz·es To put (data, for example) into digital form. dig technologies by air and ground forces on the Air-to-Ground mission. Data for this case study draw from tests, exercises, and combat operations in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ground Maneuver-Stryker Brigade Combat Team The brigade combat team (BCT) is the basic deployable unit of maneuver in the US Army. A brigade combat team consists of one combat arms branched maneuver brigade, and its attached support and fire units. This case study explores how the U.S. Army's Stryker Brigade Combat Teams combine advanced networked enabled C2 capabilities and innovative tactics, techniques, and procedures to improve mission effectiveness. Coalition Network Centric Operations during Operation Iraqi Freedom This case study examines how U.K. Ground Forces employed network-enabled Blue Force Tracking Capabilities during Operation TELIC Operation (or Op) TELIC is the codename under which all British operations of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq and after are being conducted. A total of 46,000 troops of all the British Services were committed to the operation at its start. (U.K. support to Operation Iraqi Freedom). This case study is a collaborative effort between the DoD Office of Force Transformation and the U.K.Ministry of Defence and is co-funded by both departments. Network Enabled Coalition Military Operations This is a list of missions, operations, and projects. Missions in support of other missions are not listed independently.

Operation Amber Fox, which facilitated the first democratic elections in Macedonia * 1st German Netherlands Corps operating as International Stabilization Force 3 in Afghanistan. ONGOING These case studies are currently ongoing with a tentative completion date of February 2005. Networked Air-Ground Operations: Operation Iraqi Freedom This classified case study examines how networked air, Special Operations Operations conducted in hostile, denied, or politically sensitive environments to achieve military, diplomatic, informational, and/or economic objectives employing military capabilities for which there is no broad conventional force requirement. , and ground forces operated in Western Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Ground Maneuver: V (U.S.) Corps and 3rd (U.S.) Infantry Division in Operation Iraqi Freedom The U.S. Army War College's Center for Information in Warfare will perform this case study on how the V (U.S.) Corps and 3rd (U.S.) Infantry Division employed network-enabled C2 capabilities during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Application of Network Centric Operations in Stability and Restoration Operations This case study examines how network-centric operations can support stability and restoration operations. PLANNING PHASE In amphibious operations, the phase normally denoted by the period extending from the issuance of the order initiating the amphibious operation up to the embarkation phase. The planning phase may occur during movement or at any other time upon receipt of a new mission or change in the Application of Network-Centric Operations in Crises Management: Insights from the Asian SARS Crisis This case study, conducted in collaboration with the Singapore Ministry of Defence, explores how the Government of Singapore The Government of Singapore is formed by the political party which gains a simple majority in the general elections held in Singapore at least once every five years. It is part of Singapore's political system and supported by the Singapore Civil Service. employed network-centric operations concepts in dealing with the outbreak of SARS in 2003. Networked Based Defense: Strategic Analysis of Information Age Transformation This case study examines how Sweden's leadership apply the concepts of network-centric operations to size, shape, and change their armed forces to more effectively deal with the challenges of the information age. This case study will be performed in collaboration with the Swedish Ministry of Defense. Editor's note Editor's Note (foaled in 1993 in Kentucky) is an American thoroughbred Stallion racehorse.
