2.0. BACKGROUND
2.1. The Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management operates out of several offices with a home location at the Pentagon. DAF PEO C3BM is a geographically dispersed organization charged to integrate the work efforts of many historically unique capabilities and programs of record into an integrated DAF BATTLE NETWORK, the DAF’s future iteration of integrated battle management systems and contribution to combined Joint All Domain Command and Control Systems (JADC2). If the DAF BATTLE NETWORK is the “form” of what DAF PEO C3BM must deliver, then the “operational mission” is our “function.” For DAF PEO C3BM, form ALWAYS follows function. In context of this need to ensure that the product/form of the DBN is always able to adjust to the function/needs of the mission, DAF PEO C3BM must establish common norms of behavior, an operating philosophy, and an ethos oriented to the needs of the operator across all our people and all our sites.
2.2. Given the geographically dispersed way DAF PEO C3BM was created and currently, the reality is that today DAF PEO C3BM needs expertise, steeped in both theory and real-world experience, to normalize our operations across 13 geographic sites in satisfaction with the following needs:
