It has often been remarked that the ‘iPhone generation’ will guide the military into the era of enhanced digital capabilities, but reality is that advancement in digital technology is just one component to a complex, idea shifting and ever-evolving puzzle that goes beyond networking and communications. Developing a digital Army is imperative, not only to the warfight capability, but to the modernisation of the logistics effect through better C2 and the connectivity of private military and logistic organisations.

Following the implementation of Plan BEERSHEBA and the increased complexities of the battlespace, command and control (C2) is more of a challenge than ever before. Plan BEERSHEBA is underpinned by the tenets of modularity, scalability and networked. Digitisation has occurred to allow the Combat Brigade to command and control the battlespace manoeuvring up to and including three Battle Groups. This same C2 system needs to be able to allow Combat Service Support (CSS) to be synchronised and orchestrated across the battle space in support of these Battle Groups and their integrated enablers. …show more content…

Beating the enemy and saving lives are top foci of combat, both accomplished through innovations to make armies more effective and efficient as seen in the American Civil War. The Minie Ball, a cylindrical round, was innovated by Claude-Etienne Minie in 1848 within France to load rifles more rapidly than the sphere style ammunition it replaced (A, B). The closure of a sucking chest wound was innovated by Benjamin Howard in the United States during 1863 as a procedure to save lives by applying an air tight seal to a wound that was proven as “certain death” in previous battles (D). The Minie Ball and the closure of a sucking chest wound were both great innovations used during the American Civil War, but the Minie Ball had a much greater impact before the year 1900 as it allowed armies to eliminate more enemy soldiers than the closure of the sucking chest wound saved. On a global platform, each innovation made huge influences in the way the world’s armies progressed

In 2009, the United States civilian leadership made the appropriate decision to reduce F22 Raptor procurement quantities from 339 aircraft to 187 aircraft. Although a contentious one, this decision resulted from an accurate assessment of the current and future airpower requirements within the US Air Force. The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) considered the current and future strategic environment, required capabilities, cost, schedule, and performance problems coupled with budgetary constraints, as well as the need for other competing programs in its analysis. Following this assessment, the JROC appropriately determined that a reduced F22 program best supported national security needs as the country moved out of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This paper briefly addresses these factors as a part of the Joint Strategic Planning System (JSPS) process.
