This book argues that Network Centric Warfare (NCW) influences how
developed militaries operate in the same fashion that an operating
system influences the development of computer software. It examines
three inter-related issues: the overwhelming military power of the
United States; the growing influence of NCW on military thinking;
and the centrality of coalition operations in modern military
endeavours. Irrespective of terrorist threats and local
insurgencies, the present international structure is remarkably
stable - none of the major powers seeks to alter the system from
its present liberal character, as demonstrated by the lack of a
military response to US military primacy. This primacy privileges
the American military doctrine and thus the importance of NCW,
which promises a future of rapid, precise, and highly efficient
operations, but also a future predicated on the 'digitization' of
the battle space. Participation in future American-led military
endeavours will require coalition partners to be networked:
'interoperability' will therefore be a key consideration of a
partner's strategic worth. Network Centric Warfare and Coalition
Operations will be of great interest to students of strategic
studies, international security, US foreign policy and
international relations in general.
