May 2003 Status of Forces Survey of Reserve Component Members: Tabulations of Responses
Nov. 2003; 541 pp.; In English

The Status of Forces Surveys (SOFS) is the Web- based component of the Human Resource Strategic Assessment
Program (HRSAP) administered by DMDC for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness
(OUSDP&R). HRSAP is designed to measure the attitudes and opinions of the entire DoD community--Active and
Reserve Service members, their families and DoD civilian--on the full range of personnel issues. The focus of this survey was
on activation and mobilization issues. In this tabulation volume are an introduction to the survey, cross tabulations of the
resulting data on a series of demographic variables of interest to the various policy offices within OUSD(P&R), and a
copy of actual survey items. Results are tabulated by Reserve component, paygrade, Reserve program, prior service
experience, activated/ deployed status, employment/student status, race/ethnicity, gender, and component further broken out
by paygrade.

Organically Assured and Survivable Information Systems (OASIS) Technology Transition Assessment (OTTA)

This effort examined a development beneath the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency’s (DARPA’s) umbrella
program, OASIS (Organically Assured and Survivable Information Systems). The focus of this effort was on the identification
of promising technology and assessing the readiness, applicability, and maturity of research and technology derived from or
created during the research process. Effective and rapid transition of new technology is essential to the nation’s security. With
advancements in computing and with States worldwide becoming increasingly technologically sophisticated, we must create
an environment that not only fosters cutting edge research, but does so in a way that considers how this research can be
deployed most effectively and efficiently. Efficiency must always be a consideration in planning and performing research. It
is supposed here that, in some cases, an effective transition environment can improve the quality of research, particularly in
the output of research projects, and that early assessment is one means to provide feedback to the research processes at a time
when important research decisions are being made or need to be made.

Computer Network Operations Methodology

All nations face increasing tension between exploiting Computer Network Operations (CNO) in the military sphere and
protecting the global information grid. The USA is moving apace to develop doctrines and capabilities that will allow them
to exploit cyberspace for military advantage. Within the broad rubric of Information Operations, there is increasing effort
devoted to integrating CNO into routine military planning. At the same time, these nations are becoming increasingly
concerned at the dependency of their militaries, governments, economies and societies on the networked information systems
that are emerging as the central nervous systems of post-industrial society. The armed forces desire to exploit and use CNO
to their advantage is the central argument for this developed concept. This new weapons platform, or CNO, can be clearly
identified so that the leaders will have an understanding of terms, limitations and capabilities of cyber operations. A
methodology incorporating doctrine can be created to identify the Rules of Engagement (ROE) as well as the CNO
components. The CNO area of operations and area of interest reach far beyond the typical battle space. The battle space has
evolved and has penetrated every element of military operations that utilize computers and networks.
