In 2003, the ASD(NII) DoD CIO published the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy providing guidance to DoD Components for the development of policies and practices to improve data sharing throughout the DoD. The objective of this strategy is to make data more visible, accessible, and understandable to users of the Global Information Grid (GIG). The stated goal of the strategy is to empower users through faster access to data by posting data prior to processing. The DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy provides a middle management approach to data management through Communities of Interest (COI), the reuse of discovery and content metadata, and use of GIG Enterprise Services (GES). COIs will be responsible for the development of data sharing capabilities in developing Information Technology programs. COIs are encouraged to reuse metadata previously registered by other COIs. Commonly referred to as "data tagging," metadata is the technical link between data stored in the GIG and users searching for data. GES provides the enterprise services for the development of metadata and for data searches. The results of a 2006, Progress and Compliance Report, completed by the ASD(NII) DoD CIO document progress on the part of Mission Areas and DoD Components in creating COIs and establishing data sharing policies. However, in four key findings, the report documented areas that require attention by the DoD to achieve the goals of the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy. Analysis of the report demonstrates a decentralized approach to developing data sharing policy has emerged and additional guidance is required to ensure DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy goals are met. To effectively implement the strategy, a Joint CIO Working Group and Joint CIO Oversight Council should be established to provide unity of effort to the creation of DoD data sharing policy and the development of discovery and content metadata standards.

In the December 2001 memorandum Interoperability and Data Management, the DoD CIO requested development of an enterprise level data strategy to advance the Department toward the goal of network centric operations. A Core Data Management Working Group, with representatives from across the Department, was established to develop this strategy consistent with other net-centric initiatives, such as the Global Information Grid (GIG) Enterprise Services. The attached DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy provides a key enabler of the Department's Transformation by establishing the foundation for managing the Department's data in a net-centric environment.

The global threat landscape is constantly evolving and remaining competitive and modernizing our digital environment for great power competition is imperative for the Department of Defense. We must act now to secure our future.This Digital Modernization Strategy is the cornerstone for advancing our digital environment to afford the Joint Force a competitive advantage in the modern battlespace.Our approach is simple. We will increase technological capabilities across the Department and strengthen overall adoption of enterprise systems to expand the competitive space in the digital arena. We will achieve this through four strategic initiatives: innovation for advantage, optimization, resilient cybersecurity, and cultivation of talent.The Digital Modernization Strategy provides a roadmap to support implementation of the National Defense Strategy lines of effort through the lens of cloud, artificial intelligence, command, control and communications and cybersecurity.This approach will enable increased lethality for the Joint warfighter, empower new partnerships that will drive mission success, and implement new reforms enacted to improve capabilities across the information enterprise.The strategy also highlights two important elements that will create an enduring and outcome driven strategy. First, it articulates an enterprise view of the future where more common foundational technology is delivered across the DoD Components. Secondly, the strategy calls for a Management System that drives outcomes through a metric driven approach, tied to new DoD CIO authorities granted by Congress for both technology budgets and standards.As we modernize our digital environment across the Department, we must recognize now more than ever the importance of collaboration with our industry and academic partners. I expect the senior leaders of our Department, the Services, and the Joint Warfighting community to take the intent and guidance in this strategy and drive implementation to achieve results in support of our mission to Defend the Nation.

The Department of Defense's (DoD's) Global Information Grid (GIG) provides the foundation for net-centricity. The GIG is the globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, associated processes, and personnel for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating, and managing information on demand to warfighters, defense policy makers, and support personnel. The information capabilities that constitute the GIG include transport, Web-based services, information assurance technologies, applications, data, architectures and standards, and the tools, techniques, and strategies for managing and operating the GIG (e.g., Network Operations [NetOps]). By securely interconnecting people and systems independent of time or location, DoD can achieve substantially improved military situational awareness, better access to information, and dramatically shortened decision cycles. Our warfighters are empowered to more effectively exploit information; more efficiently use resources; and create extended, collaborative communities to focus on the mission.

As the world enters a new millennium, the U.S. military simultaneously enters a new era in warfare -- an era in which warfare is affected by a changing strategic environment and rapid technological change. The United States and its multinational partners are experiencing a transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. Simultaneously, it is fully engaged in a global war on terrorism set in a new period of globalization. These changes, as well as the experiences gained during recent and ongoing military operations, have resulted in the current drive to transform the force with network-centric warfare (NCW) as the centerpiece of this effort. This document describes how the tenets and principles of NCW are providing the foundation for developing new warfighting concepts, organizations, and processes that will allow U.S. forces to maintain a competitive advantage over potential adversaries, now and in the future. In sum, the report provides an overview of the ongoing implementation of NCW in the Department of Defense (DoD). A brief description of NCW, including its origins, its central role in force transformation, its tenets and principles, and an implementation strategy, are provided in Chapter 1. An examination of NCW as an emerging theory of war, its relationship to the four domains of Information Age warfare, the growing evidence of its benefits, and the warfighting advantages it can provide are examined in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 focuses on network-centric operations (NCO), including the relationship of NCO to the overarching Joint Operations Concepts (JOpsC), the NCO experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, the development of the NCO Conceptual Framework, and the conduct of NCO case studies. An overview of Joint and Service plans and initiatives to develop and implement network-centric capabilities and the growing investment in these capabilities by our allies and multinational partners are provided in Chapter 4.
