Crawford, USA, Army G-6 and chief information officer (CIO).

The U.S. Army is overhauling its relationship with technology providers to incorporate a new class of capabilities that will enable survivable, protected, intuitive, standards-based, interoperable, sustainable and, above all, highly mobile networks.

Lt. Gen. Robert S. Ferrell, USA, has been assigned as chief information officer for the Army/G-6, Washington, D.C.
