Army Materiel Command (AMC) MACOM responsible for most aspects of sustainment and support to Army research, development, and acquisition programs. Axis Meister-Designated leader of a Force XXI Campaign axis. CG, TRADOC, was axis meister of the Joint Venture axis; Vice Chief of Staff, Army, of the Institutional! TDA axis; and Director, ADO, of the Army digitization axis. B Battle Labs-System of labs instituted by GEN Franks to experiment with changes in the field Army in the areas of the five battle dynamics: Battle Command (at Fort Leavenworth) ; Battle Space (Mounted Battle Space at Fort Knox, Dismounted Battle Space at Fort Benning); Depth and Simultaneous Attack (at Fort Sill); Early Entry/Lethality/ Survivability (at Fort Monroe); and Combat Service Support (at Fort Lee). Their operations were coordinated and integrated by the Battle Lab Integration, Technology, and Concepts Directorate, DCS-CD , TRADOC. Battlefield Digitization-Army modernization effort using high-speed streams of information packets moving across electronic grids, rapidly processing these packets into high-resolution graphical displays with assistance from expert systems, and using automated decision-support systems to solve complex battle command problems at all levels. Battlefield Visualization-Use of digital information technologies integrated horizontally across the force-including global pOSitioning system receivers-to provide a common awareness of the battlefield situation to all components of the force, enabling commanders to make decisions based on timely information of friendly and enemy locations and actions. Board of Directors (BoD)-LAM process meeting of the Army's corporate leadership, its four-star generals and selected three-stars, 100 to address issues affecting the Army in the context of the good of the entire institution. C Combined Arms Center-TRADOC center for integrating operational art and combined arms, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Combat Training Centers-System of three training centers-the NTC at Fort Irwin, California, for heavy forces; the JRTC at Fort Polk, Louisiana, for light forces; and the Combat Maneuver Training Center at Hohenfels, Germany-for training battalion and brigade task forces in a simulated, instrumented combat environment designed to replicate actual warfare as closely as possible. The program is capped for division and corps staffs by the Battle Command Training Program, conducted at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Concepts Based Requirements System-System developed during the Cold War to enable the Army to respond to changes in the Soviet/Warsaw Pact threat and to conceptualize and develop force modernization requirements on the basis of those changes. D Defense Simulations Internet (DSI) Computer network deSigned to link disparate simulations and models in dispersed locations; evolutionary simulation network that permits customers to take advantage of advances in wide-area communications and to interconnect with geographically dispersed models, simulations, and simulators. DESERT STORM-Multinational operation led by U.S. forces in January-February 1991 to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi conquest. DESERT HAMMER-Name given to the AWE conducted during NTC rotation 94-07. In DESERT HAMMER, a digitized tank battalion task force from the 194th Armored Brigade at Fort Knox operated as part of a brigade task force from the 24th Infantry Division. The Modern Louisiana Maneuvers
Digitization-Provision of digital information technologies to collect, process, and disseminate more rapidly data on friendly and enemy locations and actions to provide a common, relevant awareness of the battlefield situation. Distributed Interactive Simulations (DIS)-Simulations employed in and accessed from a variety of locations, linked through a form of internet, like DSI, and a series of protocols that permit them to interact and their users to interact with them for training, modeling, issue investigation, RD&A, or mission planning and rehearsal purposes. Key to development and use of STOW E Enhanced Concepts Based Requirements System-Streamlined version of CBRS emplaced in FY 94, which responded to the disappearance of the Soviet threat and shifted to the development of modernization requirements on the basis of capabilities believed necessary for the future force. Shortened various parts of the requirements development cycle. F Force XXI-Title given to GEN Sullivan's campaign to develop the 21st century Army and used to describe the process through which that Army will be achieved. G General Officer Working Group (GOWG)-The LAM process working meeting that brought together one- and two-star generals representing members of the LAM BoD to evaluate, discuss, and prioritize proposed LAM issues for consideration by a subsequent BoD. Global Positioning System (GPS)-Satellite-based system proViding exact location information to those able to query and receive signals from the system; vital to operations during DESERT STORM . Appendixes H Horizontal Technology Integration (HTI)-Concept of integrating technological advances across the force, mostly through synchronized technology insertions into existing equipment, to enhance the overall capability of the entire force. I Information Warfare-Actions taken to preserve the integrity of one's own information system, to corrupt or destroy an adversary's information system, and, in the process, to achieve an information advantage in the application of force. InterVehicular Information System (IVIS)-Digitized information system first deployed in the M 1A2 Abrams tank that permitted the crew to be aware of the friendly and enemy battlefield situation beyond their own visual range. Interacted with IVIS displays in Similarly eqUipped vehicles. J Joint Requirements Oversight Council ORO C)-Joint council composed of the Vice Chiefs of the several services chaired by the Vice Chairman of the JCS. Responsible for integrating war fighting requirements and acquisition programs across the services and, thus, in allocating funding to the different services. Joint War fighting Capabilities Assessment OWCA)-Process conducted within the Joint Staff J-8, Directorate for Force Structure, Resources, and Assessment, which supports the deliberations of the JROC. JUST CAUSE-U.S. joint operation conducted in December 1989 to depose Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega and restore democracy to Panama.
