Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Joint Vision 2020, the Department of Defense (DoD) blueprint for development and transformation, identifies information and technology as critical enablers for our nation's military and calls for the development of a joint force capable of integrated information sharing to provide decision superiority, the ability to make and implement better decisions before enemies can react (DoD, 2000). Networks have been identified as the single most important element for transforming our current military forces. Ironically, Air Force base-level communications networks have been identified as a weakness. This research follows the qualitative approach to increases the current understanding of base level communications networks by conducting a multiple site comparative case study that includes practitioner interviews at four locations and the examination of existing literature and documented trip reports. This study determines if base- level networks are disparate, isolates sources of disparity, identifies advantages and disadvantages of disparity, and recommends an appropriate course of action.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
