Determining Communication Shortfalls for Homeland Defense
نویسنده
چکیده
Communications is a critical enabling capability that is interwoven into every facet of every military operation. Assessing what communication capability is most valuable to the operation is a vital planning requirement that currently resides in several processes that produce differing outcomes within the DoD. This article examines these planning processes, particularly the capability-based approach, assessing which process is optimal for determining communication shortfalls. An in-depth comparison of the Joint Capabilities Integrated Defense System (JCIDS) and USNORTHCOM’s Capability Review and Resource Assessment (CRRA) was conducted, examining the respective strengths and weakness of each process. This article then recommends an optimized hybrid solution of the CRRA and JCIDS, thus providing an intuitive methodology that can be used to model what communication capabilities are essential to the DoD and its interagency partners. Ultimately, this model may serve to guide the defense planning process to ensure meaningful collaboration occurs, when crafting a unified DoD and interagency position regarding communications and network-centric capability needs and shortfalls. Particular utility can be applied to fill the gap of interoperable communications solutions between first responders, the military, interagency, and coalition partners, when teaming in a homeland defense scenario.
