National Geographic OCT 2004 - Thousands drowned in the murky brew that was soon contaminated by sewage and industrial waste. Thousands more who survived the flood later perished from dehydration and disease as they waited to be rescued. It took two months to pump the city dry, and by then the Big Easy was buried under a blanket of putrid sediment, a million people were homeless, and 50,000 were dead. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.

Excerpt from this document - Acrobat pg. 9

A networked force conducting network-centric operation (NCO) is an essential enabler for the conduct of effects-based operations by U.S. forces. Effects-based operations (EBO) are "sets of actions directed at shaping the behavior of friends, neutrals, and foes in peace, crisis, and war." EBO is not a new form of warfighting, nor does it displace any of the currently recognized forms of warfare. Throughout history, decision makers have sought to create conditions that would achieve their objectives and policy goals. Military commanders and planners have attempted to plan and execute campaigns to create these conditions - an approach that would be considered "effects-based" in today's terminology. EBO in the 21st century, enabled by networked forces, is a methodology for planning, executing, and assessing military operations designed to attain specific effects that achieve desired national security outcomes.

The armed forces of many of our allies and multinational partners are moving rapidly into the NCW arena and developing net-centric capabilities of their own to be able to conduct EBO. When we conduct military operations with our allies and multinational partners today and in the future, we seek to obtain maximum advantage derived from the power of NCW.....

NCW generates increased combat power by networking sensors, decision makers, and shooters to achieve shared awareness, increased speed of command, high tempo of operations, greater lethality, increased curvivability and a degree of self-synchronization.
