Network. And with that brings the promise of new challenges for sure in interoperatability and new capabilities that we have never had before. In fact, no other country is as far along as we are, even though were just starting. What we see is the opportunity there to interoperate in many different ways than just voice as we have in the past. The challenge for us in the future will be the challenge of connectivity where we can connect wide band or narrow band voice or data or video across different systems. Again, all of this is based on using internet protocol. One of the things that we at our...

Some of our challenges were the radio communications. We got cross banded with San Francisco but bringing in commercial satellite down to the marine force that would be on the ground was one of the challenges that we had to work through after the event.

We didnt give them a lot of coaching, we just kind of put them in a tent and said here is your scenario, heres some problems, and we wanted them to work it out and they did. So it was a very successful year. Thats what we did as far as the field exercises. Next year i dont know whats next, were going to explore the Lessons Learned from this one, weve already learned a bunch, theyre going to talk about this shortly then learn what are the next scenarios we can challenge people with. It probably wont be the same ones. We are building the...
