The result is that the US military is far slower and less effective at closing the kill chain than it can and must be. The process is heavily manual, linear, undynamic, and impervious to change. Specific military systems may be able to work together to facilitate understanding, decisions, and actions for one specific purpose, but they cannot be recomposed in different ways for other unforeseen purposes. Put simply, the means by which the US military generates understanding, translates that knowledge into decisions, and then takes actions in war have not been built to adapt.
