How the Army makes decisions, communicates orders, coordinates forces, and keeps operations moving toward a common goal is undergoing a revolution. It's called Next Generation Command and Control.

Ellis, commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division — joined us to discuss this important set of organizational and technological innovations.    Our thanks to AeroVironment for sponsoring the event at which this episode was recorded.
