Item description from seller

Neuware - The information sphere is an integral part of the current environment. The center of gravity (CoG) theory currently is matched for conventional, linear, industrial age warfare in the physical domain. The CoG concept is thus not suited to work in the fast changing information environment and needs revision. Nevertheless, the CGoG concept is deeply ingrained in United States military doctrine. The CoG concept can be refined to be useful in operational design, by including strategic communication theory and the information environment. The current use and interpretation of the CoG concept come in the form of a survey that was conducted during the autumn of 2008 among students and Faculty at the Pre-Command Course and at the School of Advanced Military Studies in Ft Leavenworth.
