The team consists of our coalition partners and our international agency partners, and our components and U.S. AFRICOM staff. “Conference of the of updates from the participants, and focused on assessing the current status and objectives of coalition partners in Africa, he said.” The theme of our conference is “Delivering capabilities, a common information environment,” and we see it as a joint and combined team … together, side by side to promote peace and stability there on the African continent, “said Ferrell.Drei objectives of this year’s conference was to strengthen the team, assess priorities across the board, and get a better fix on the impact that the establishment of the U.S. Cyber Command have all members’ efforts in the future, he said. “With the stand-up of U.S. Cyber Command, there are a lot of unique challenges that we as a team to talk about the need to ensure that the information we bring protected at all times, “said Ferrell.Afrikanische Union (AU) representatives from four major geographic regions visited Africa, which produces a holistic perspective on the needs and requirements of the continent, he said.” We have members from the headquarters of the African Union, which is located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, we have members who are from Uganda, Zambia, Ghana, and also from the Congo.

And every commander who ever sees the fight as a combined environment that interoperability is the thing that strikes you absolutely upside the head, “said Hogg.” We are in the early stages of the process here in cooperation with the African Union and other partners, and you can delete them from the final design, versus just building a bunch of “gunkulators.” And so, the message is: think about what the end state should look like and design the strategy to the end state support. “Look where we want to and design it so,” said Hogg.Er the participants in the second and third order effects of their decisions urged to consider when designing networks. “With that said, over the next four days, I hope this conference very well for you. If there is anything we do to make your stay better, please let us have known, “said Hogg.In the next three days, participants concentrated in a steady stream of briefings and Presentations deals on systems, missions and updates from the Feld.Col.

This is frankly a challenge, but as we are the ability to really care about the U.S. government, and the work by which, we hope to focus on more regional,” er.Er said referring to Africa Endeavor, an annual, multi-nation exercise communications, as a test bed for the current situation on the continent, and aid in the future for development. “To carry out these exercises, with which security and cooperation events carried out and contingency to complete missions, we really have from the perspective of C4ISR, five major challenges, “said Angyal.” You have heard talk General Hogg this morning about it, “think about the customer ‘- you have to allow me to To gain access to our data, I must be able to get the data where and when I need it, you need to protect them, I have to be able to share it, and then finally in a position The systems have to be able to work together to build the coalition. “One of the reasons General Ferrell furnishings, this joint company information, this shared enterprise network… it’s almost like trying to bring together different organizations or companies Everyone has their own system, they have paid for their own infrastructure, and they have their own policies, though they support the same large companies multiply “Now if you multiply in different services to get, if in different U.S.. to bring government agencies, and then layer on that with the international partners, and there are many strategies that we’re in the way “is not the most important question a question of technology, he said.” The boxes are the same. – a Cisco router is a Cisco router, Microsoft Exchange Server is the same all over the world – but it’s the way we use it, and it is the policy that we apply to it, that really holds us like this From interoperability, and that’s the challenge we hope that by working with the joint network company. “And I think through things such as Africa Endeavor, and by the joint venture network, we are knocking down some of these policies look walls, but at the end of the day they will beat us down Bill Gates not design a system that is only for the army or the navy -. it works for everyone, “said Angyal.Brig.

We used it before running the information age, now in the information age, how do we work? “So we have come to our house to see if we should work with us to align things now. So, our challenge to come up with a strategy to see how well we can reorganize our structures to be able to provide the communications-information systems support to the Ghana Armed Forces, “said er.Searyoh context that his organization is already a part . the establishment of the necessary foundation through an appropriate political structure reached “What is now required, the implementation level the moment we have the communication on the one hand, and computers on the one hand, the boundaries are blurred -.. you can not work the way you have to bring them together, “said er.Gebäude used the merged forces is what he sees as the biggest challenge at present.” Once you do that can, to talk about equipment, you can talk about resources, ” Searyoh said. “I look at the current cooperation between the U.S. and coalition partners under a new level.” “The immediate challenges that we have interoperability, which in my opinion one of the things we are discussing here, interoperability and integration,” said Lt. Col. Kelvin Silomba, the African Union and Zambia, information technology expert for the African Stand-by Force. “You know that we are five regions in Africa. All of these regions, we need to integrate them and bring them together, so that the challenge of interoperability in the form of equipment, you know, various tactical equipment we use, and also in view of the language barrier – you know, all of these regions in Africa, you find that they speak different languages - so to bring them together, must we come with a standard that everyone on board will make, and make everyone in a position to talk to each other, “he said.” than we have so all of these challenges. Other well that it, based out of the background of these African countries, the colonization: some of them colonized French, some of them were British colonized and so on, so that you will find that when they starts getting some adopted the method is based on our former colonial masters, so that a further challenge comes on board. “The partnership with brother African countries with the U.S. government and its military branches, and with other interested staff has had a positive impact,” said Silomba. “Oh, it’s great. From the time that I have with the U.S. AFRICOM engaged – I started with Africa Endeavor, before I came to the AU – it is my experience that there is something very, very good, “I would encourage you -. I know that there are some Member States – I want you encourage all Member States to come on board, all these regional organizations to come on board and do support the AFRICOM. There is something very, very good. “As such, the African Union, a lot of support have been coming in, both technical and in terms of knowledge and equipment. So it’s great, it’s good and it’s great,” Salimba.Andere said participants at the conference were positive responses. “The feedback I have received from each member, is that they now know what looks on the red carpet treatment because the USARAF overboard to ensure that the environment to make the atmosphere and the actual commitment is gone … are executed perfectly, “said Ferrell. “It was very good from a team-building aspect.” We have very good talks by members of the African Union, which for us is a very good understanding of the processes that take place in the area of Somalia, the challenges associated with communication and placed in the gaps and needs had, where they see that the U.S. and other coalition partners kind of improvement of the capacity available in this area of responsibility. “We also talked about the AU, as they expand their reach to all five regions, how can they have that interoperability and connectivity to each of the regions, “said Ferrell.” (It was) a wealth of knowledge and experts are sharing here in view to move forward as we can build capacity and skills not. only to U.S. interests, but above all, in my view, capacity building and skills for our African partners, beginning with the Commission of the African Union itself, “said Kevin Warthon, U.S. State Department, Peace and Security Advisor to the African Union. “I think that General Ferrell attend an absolutely great thing by inviting key African partners in this event, so they can share their personal experiences from national, regional and continental perspective has done,” said er.Warthon from his personal experience of a vignette African confidence in Providence that he believed that, an appropriate metaphor and message along to all participants of the conference. “We are not sure what we will do tomorrow, but the one thing that I am sure is that we able to do something are. They do not know when, do not know how, but as long as our focus on our ability to support and help a person progress that really counts more than anything else, “he said.” Mach Do not worry about the schedule, only on your ability to concentrate to make a difference and that is what this is all about. “I see places like this as an opportunity to make what seems to be the impossible become possible. … . This is what this kind of venue for our African partners, “We do a wonderful job in building relationships, because that’s where it starts -. We have the relationships that build to create trust That’s why this is such important: building trust in relationships, so that we can make a difference in the future, “Warthon.Konferenz members took a cultural journey through Venice and visit a traditional winery in the hills above Vicenza, said before Vertagung.Um more U.S. Army Africa please visit our official website at www.usaraf.army.mil Official Twitter feed: www.twitter.com / usarmyafrica Official YouTube Video Channel: www.youtube.com / usarmyafrica

U.S. Africa Command C4ISR Senior Leaders Conference, Vicenza, Italy, February 2011
Year peak of U.S. Army Africa
U.S. Army photo by Sgt 1st Class Kyle DavisUS Africa Command (AFRICOM) held its second annual C4ISR Senior Leaders Conference February 2 to 4 at Caserma Ederle, home to the U.S. Army in Africa, in Vicenza, Italien.Die communications and intelligence event, hosted by Brig General Robert Ferrell, AFRICOM C4 director, drew about 80 senior leaders from various U.S. military and government branches and agencies, and representatives of African States and the African Union.Die conference is a combination of our U.S. AFRICOM C4 Systems Intel and management, “said Ferrell.” We come together annually to the team to work towards common goals, work on during the year. The team consists of our coalition partners and our international agency partners, and our components and U.S. AFRICOM staff. “Conference of the of updates from the participants, and focused on assessing the current status and objectives of coalition partners in Africa, he said.” The theme of our conference is “Delivering capabilities, a common information environment,” and we see it as a joint and combined team … together, side by side to promote peace and stability there on the African continent, “said Ferrell.Drei objectives of this year’s conference was to strengthen the team, assess priorities across the board, and get a better fix on the impact that the establishment of the U.S. Cyber Command have all members’ efforts in the future, he said. “With the stand-up of U.S. Cyber Command, there are a lot of unique challenges that we as a team to talk about the need to ensure that the information we bring protected at all times, “said Ferrell.Afrikanische Union (AU) representatives from four major geographic regions visited Africa, which produces a holistic perspective on the needs and requirements of the continent, he said.” We have members from the headquarters of the African Union, which is located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, we have members who are from Uganda, Zambia, Ghana, and also from the Congo. What are the gaps which support the things we need to kind of how we move forward with our commitment to the African continent? “Said Ferrell sind.US Africa Army Commander, Major General David R. Hogg, welcomed the participants, the conference got under way.” We are absolutely thrilled to host this conference and we hope you this week a whole lot out of it, “said Hogg.Er the opportunity to the participants as not just a host, but from the perspective made one customer whose missions depend on the results of their efforts to support commanders in the field address.” If we think about this group of people who are speaking – from the common side of our African partners from government, all these people – it is about partnership and interoperability. And every commander who ever sees the fight as a combined environment that interoperability is the thing that strikes you absolutely upside the head, “said Hogg.” We are in the early stages of the process here in cooperation with the African Union and other partners, and you can delete them from the final design, versus just building a bunch of “gunkulators.” And so, the message is: think about what the end state should look like and design the strategy to the end state support. “Look where we want to and design it so,” said Hogg.Er the participants in the second and third order effects of their decisions urged to consider when designing networks. “With that said, over the next four days, I hope this conference very well for you. If there is anything we do to make your stay better, please let us have known, “said Hogg.In the next three days, participants concentrated in a steady stream of briefings and Presentations deals on systems, missions and updates from the Feld.Col. Joseph W. Angyal, director of the U.S. Army African G-6, gave an overview of activities and topics, the basics focus, the emergence of regional agreements as a way forward, and the development of a joint network company, which would serve all interested parties. “What to do, we try to work regionally. This is frankly a challenge, but as we are the ability to really care about the U.S. government, and the work by which, we hope to focus on more regional,” er.Er said referring to Africa Endeavor, an annual, multi-nation exercise communications, as a test bed for the current situation on the continent, and aid in the future for development. “To carry out these exercises, with which security and cooperation events carried out and contingency to complete missions, we really have from the perspective of C4ISR, five major challenges, “said Angyal.” You have heard talk General Hogg this morning about it, “think about the customer ‘- you have to allow me to To gain access to our data, I must be able to get the data where and when I need it, you need to protect them, I have to be able to share it, and then finally in a position The systems have to be able to work together to build the coalition. “One of the reasons General Ferrell furnishings, this joint company information, this shared enterprise network… it’s almost like trying to bring together different organizations or companies Everyone has their own system, they have paid for their own infrastructure, and they have their own policies, though they support the same large companies multiply “Now if you multiply in different services to get, if in different U.S.. to bring government agencies, and then layer on that with the international partners, and there are many strategies that we’re in the way “is not the most important question a question of technology, he said.” The boxes are the same. – a Cisco router is a Cisco router, Microsoft Exchange Server is the same all over the world – but it’s the way we use it, and it is the policy that we apply to it, that really holds us like this From interoperability, and that’s the challenge we hope that by working with the joint network company. “And I think through things such as Africa Endeavor, and by the joint venture network, we are knocking down some of these policies look walls, but at the end of the day they will beat us down Bill Gates not design a system that is only for the army or the navy -. it works for everyone, “said Angyal.Brig. General Joseph Searyoh General, the Defense Information Communication Systems, General Headquarters, Ghana Armed Forces agreed that policy coordination is of fundamental importance for the improvement of communication with all its implications for a variety of operations and missions. “One would expect that in these modern times there is a kind of mutual engagement, and build on this commitment to be strong, it must be some kind of element of trust. … We, to build a kind of trust put into effect, “said Searyoh. “Some people can live in silos of the past, but in the current engagement, we have the people that we are no hidden agenda, no negative,” “say, but for the common good of us all.” hidden agenda, we say, that we are in the information age, and I have to say something that should not our response be exempted, but it must be a must, because if you do not join now, you will be left behind “So what do we do we must.? put our house in order. “Why do I say that? We used it before running the information age, now in the information age, how do we work? “So we have come to our house to see if we should work with us to align things now. So, our challenge to come up with a strategy to see how well we can reorganize our structures to be able to provide the communications-information systems support to the Ghana Armed Forces, “said er.Searyoh context that his organization is already a part . the establishment of the necessary foundation through an appropriate political structure reached “What is now required, the implementation level the moment we have the communication on the one hand, and computers on the one hand, the boundaries are blurred -.. you can not work the way you have to bring them together, “said er.Gebäude used the merged forces is what he sees as the biggest challenge at present.” Once you do that can, to talk about equipment, you can talk about resources, ” Searyoh said. “I look at the current cooperation between the U.S. and coalition partners under a new level.” “The immediate challenges that we have interoperability, which in my opinion one of the things we are discussing here, interoperability and integration,” said Lt. Col. Kelvin Silomba, the African Union and Zambia, information technology expert for the African Stand-by Force. “You know that we are five regions in Africa. All of these regions, we need to integrate them and bring them together, so that the challenge of interoperability in the form of equipment, you know, various tactical equipment we use, and also in view of the language barrier – you know, all of these regions in Africa, you find that they speak different languages - so to bring them together, must we come with a standard that everyone on board will make, and make everyone in a position to talk to each other, “he said.” than we have so all of these challenges. Other well that it, based out of the background of these African countries, the colonization: some of them colonized French, some of them were British colonized and so on, so that you will find that when they starts getting some adopted the method is based on our former colonial masters, so that a further challenge comes on board. “The partnership with brother African countries with the U.S. government and its military branches, and with other interested staff has had a positive impact,” said Silomba. “Oh, it’s great. From the time that I have with the U.S. AFRICOM engaged – I started with Africa Endeavor, before I came to the AU – it is my experience that there is something very, very good, “I would encourage you -. I know that there are some Member States – I want you encourage all Member States to come on board, all these regional organizations to come on board and do support the AFRICOM. There is something very, very good. “As such, the African Union, a lot of support have been coming in, both technical and in terms of knowledge and equipment. So it’s great, it’s good and it’s great,” Salimba.Andere said participants at the conference were positive responses. “The feedback I have received from each member, is that they now know what looks on the red carpet treatment because the USARAF overboard to ensure that the environment to make the atmosphere and the actual commitment is gone … are executed perfectly, “said Ferrell. “It was very good from a team-building aspect.” We have very good talks by members of the African Union, which for us is a very good understanding of the processes that take place in the area of Somalia, the challenges associated with communication and placed in the gaps and needs had, where they see that the U.S. and other coalition partners kind of improvement of the capacity available in this area of responsibility. “We also talked about the AU, as they expand their reach to all five regions, how can they have that interoperability and connectivity to each of the regions, “said Ferrell.” (It was) a wealth of knowledge and experts are sharing here in view to move forward as we can build capacity and skills not. only to U.S. interests, but above all, in my view, capacity building and skills for our African partners, beginning with the Commission of the African Union itself, “said Kevin Warthon, U.S. State Department, Peace and Security Advisor to the African Union. “I think that General Ferrell attend an absolutely great thing by inviting key African partners in this event, so they can share their personal experiences from national, regional and continental perspective has done,” said er.Warthon from his personal experience of a vignette African confidence in Providence that he believed that, an appropriate metaphor and message along to all participants of the conference. “We are not sure what we will do tomorrow, but the one thing that I am sure is that we able to do something are.
