FCS rocks?
The army has lost its way with Future Combat Systems. As Sec. Gates annonces another round of changes to the program, I have to ask are we developing systems because we can or are we developing systems because they will help prepare us for the next war. Technology will not solve the problems the army has with preparing soldiers for war, it is not a substitute for training and discipline. More later...

FCS is so ambitious that in some cases, the technology does not yet exist to accomplish it. The failure of the JTRS system is one example of a system that has exceeded our current ability to actually make it work. Advanced ballistic armor, robotic control systems, automated sensors and high-bandwidth networks are all potential problem areas. It is very likely that some FCS systems will never be fully functional.
The military needs to focus on the training and equiping of the individual soldier. Creating a better trained force, and I mean trained combat force, not a bunch of individual specialist. Get rid of this stupid beret, and get a rifle with a bigger bullet. No thats some future combat systems!
In the simplest sense, technology will never perfect the art of war because technology is manmade and therefore inherently flawed. These flaws are the source of some of today’s "fog and friction." Twentieth century technology in intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination has removed much of the mist surrounding the enemy; however, other technologies have emerged in opposition—creating new sources of fog. In the end, war will never be executed perfectly because the human elements of warfare—the hearts and minds, the courage and determination—are beyond the control of technology.
What's worse is FCS's reliance on improved C4ISR technology that aims to minimize the fog of war by instantaneously networking every shooter, vehicle, airframe, etc. But the technology that enables this network can also be exploited by a sophisticated enemy to create new problems: jamming and spoofing. Through jamming of this communication network, friendly forces are blinded and reduced to acting independently. Worse yet are the results of spoofing. Here, incorrect intelligence or commands are transmitted. Another source of technology-enabled fog stems from the shear amount of information that is made available to commanders through this improved C4ISR. In an information-rich environment, there is only so much that any human can absorb, digest, and act upon in a given period of time. An overload of information and communications can be as debilitating as a drought when commanders perceive the success or failure of their operation on being prepared for the coming battle.
