 | Understanding and engaging foreign populations is not a novel concept for the United States military. The U.S. Armed Forces have long recognized the operational value of understanding the mindset of opposing forces and securing the cooperation and support of local populations. However, the United States is now expected to engage foreign populations more routinely, at all operational phases, and across a broader range of mission types than ever before. Success ... |

| Command and Control (C2), especially in the uncertain environments associated with counterinsurgency, stability operations, and irregular warfare actions, require a knowledge and shared understanding of not only an elusive adversary, but the socio-cultural layer in which the adversary lives and enjoys a support structure. C2 in these situations must accommodate complexities and situations far different from classic force on force engagements. In this environment, C2 must take advantage of modeling ... |

| Current U.S. Naval doctrine places increasing emphasis on providing just-in-time training. This means training the deployed sailor when they need the training, wherever they happen to be. This differs from classic training doctrine that calls for placing a completely trained expert in the field. This shift in doctrine is a direct response to reduction in force sizes, necessitating fewer experts and more generalists. Just-in-time training requires the generalists to be ... |

| A crucial need for the modern military is the ability to rapidly assemble a set of disparate information systems into a coherently interoperating whole. This must be done without system redesign and may include interoperation with non-DoD governmental systems, with systems separately designed by coalition partners or with COTS and open-source systems that are not built to a pre-existing government standard. The Control of Agent Based Systems (CoABS) program explores ... |
