French Army Approaches to Networked Warfare

by Michael Shurkin

The French concept of network-centric warfare argues that information-sharing enables forces to forgo armor and mass. The concept underpins France's push for a middle-weight force--one that can deploy to Africa but is still robust enough for higher-end threats. By contrast, the U.S. Army's modernization challenge starts with a different strategic premise and makes different assumptions about available logistical capabilities.
