GREATER MONMOUTH CHAPTER CHAPTER - Oct 18, 2007

In October the chapter's guest speaker was Gary Blohm, deputy project manager, network and complementary programs, Future Combat Systems (FCS) (Brigade Combat Team), who discussed his work with FCS. Blohm stated that FCS is a highly integrated structure of manned and unmanned, air and ground assets, bound by a distributed network. He said that FCS is a centerpiece of transformation strategy to revolutionize how the force modernizes, transforms and enhances soldier and force capabilities. FCS fields revolutionary brigade combat teams while inserting targeted spinouts to the current force, providing a suite of full-spectrum capabilities to meet emerging security challenges. Blohm noted that FCS is the Army's principal modernization strategy designed for full-spectrum operations, adding that the joint networked system is adaptable to various types of warfare and terrain and enables levels of joint connectivity, situational awareness, understanding and synchronized operations for the soldier.
