An important issue for the Department of Defense and the Army is whether these networking capabilities translate into an information advantage and, if so, whether that advantage results in greater mission effectiveness in stability operations. To answer those two questions, the authors compare three units that operated in the same area in Iraq's northern provinces between 2003 and 2005: the 101st Airborne Division (ABD) (which had only limited digital communications), the 3/2 Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT), and the 1/25 SBCT (both equipped with digital networks) and finds that leadership, training, and tactics and procedures are just as important as networking capabilities for improving mission effectiveness in stability operations.Command and control systemsUnited StatesEvaluationCase studiesCommunications, MilitaryEvaluationCase studiesStryker brigade combat teamsEvaluationCase studiesIraq War, 2003-2011CampaignsUnited StatesArmed ForcesStability operationsEvaluationCommand and control systemsEvaluationCommunications, MilitaryEvaluationStryker brigade combat teamsEvaluationIraq War, 2003-2011Campaigns.956.7044/342Gonzales Daniel1956-1236038United States.Dept. of Defense.Office of the Secretary of Defense.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220131303321Networked forces in stability operations2870406UNINA
