Spoiling Attack –• A platoon leader was given a mission

to conduct Spoiling Attack.• Without a prepared plan, platoon used

current information on FBCB2 toidentify routes which offered maximumcover and concealment. Platoonobtained excellent fire positions withsuperior line of site.

• Enemy caught off guard andcompletely destroyed.

Top Ten Issues from DCX-1

1. Improve Red SA distribution/presentation - refining tools, providingresources to IntelCen to support TTP development and training

2. Enhance network performance and robustness– Ensure that TOC-TOC radio network (NTDR) can scale to 4 brigade division– Improve C2 message completion rate

3. Implement architecture modifications, to address:– Need for additional servers in selected TOCs– Need for DMS servers

4. Improve performance of ABCS when contributing to/participating inCOP

5. Improve graphics/overlay exchange between systems, especially MCS &FBCB2

6. Fix Digital LOGSTAT reports and interface between FBCB2 and CSSCS 7. Continue to address network startup simplification 8. Fix the ASAS-AFATDS TIDAT thread 9. Improve FBCB2 stability and interactive features10. Provide standard, high resolution maps across all systems

Digitizing the Battlefield is the application of informationtechnologies to acquire, exchange, and employ timely

information throughout the battlespace, tailored to the needs ofeach decider (commander), shooter, and supporter. . . allowing

each to maintain a clear and accurate vision of commonbattlespace necessary to support both planning and execution.1

• Lethality• Survivability• OPTEMPO• Sustainability

1. Reference: Special Task Force 2 on Battlefield Digitization

From Strategic Base assets to the Tactical Levelwithin the Army and within Joint/Combined operations

What is Battlefield Digitization?A Top Level View

The NTC OPFOR Commanderresponded to Senator Glen in June 1997that “During TFXXI, the digitizedBrigade at the National Training Centersuccessfully controlled three times theterrain - at a higher OPTEMPO thanother non-digitized Brigades.”
