The Future of Complex Operations

In this segment, Harned takes a look at what the U.S. Government needs to do to ensure that a complex operations approach is successful.

Harned’s recommendations are as follows:

• The President and the National Security Council should centralize their direction and guidance.
• The Executive branch should work closely with Congress.
• The Government should realize that the strategic use of information is a key component.
• The Government should create an organization similar to the disbanded U.S. Information Agency.
