Published Profiles of/by Robert David Steele

About the Idea

Multiple requests for “profiles” of founder Robert David Steele have come up, and inspire this particular posting for the convenience of those parties and others.  The World Brain & Global Game are inevitable.  It's just a matter of time and energy.  Who invests first will substantially influence whether they are imperial in nature, or multinationally and culturally neutral in nature.  They should of course be Open in nature (software, sources, and spectrum).

Graphic: Core Force for Multinational and Whole of Government Operations

About the Idea, Advanced Cyber/IO, Capabilities-Force Structure, Multinational Plus
Core Force
Click to Enlarge

This graphic was created for a lecture to Eastern European Parliamentarians at the George C. Marshall Center in the mid-tolate 1990's.  Many understood back then that the Department of Defense (DoD) was the only element of the U.S. Government (USG) capable of serving as a hub or backbone for USG Whole of Government and dynamic or surge inter-agency operations as well as multinational operations other than war (OOTW).

Unfortunately, the military services have managed to avoid, undermine, or ignore leadership from a series of Secretaries of Defense, so today we do not have a Global Information Grid (GIG) nor do we have joint mobility, weapons, or communications systems that are truly inter-operable.

Originally posted online in 2008 when this Blog was first created, we are updating the publication date to make it more easily visible–this will be, we believe, a central graphic for the multinational endeavors of the future.

Journal: Multinational Transformation

About the Idea, Collaboration Zones, Communities of Practice, Key Players, Policies, Threats, Topics (All Other)

A few thoughts:

1)  Information-sharing and sense-making is “root” for multinational operations.

2)  Education, intelligence, and research must all be open and multinational in nature.

3)  Peaceful preventive measures rooted in open education and intelligence are the foundation.

4)  Precision covert and clandestine multinational operations are the intermediate capability.

5)  Hybrid operations by all eight tribes of intelligence, with the military as the “core force” for communications, intelligence-sharing and sense-making, logistics, and mobility, will be the norm.

6)  Gandhi had it right–cannot kill swarms with machine guns, the only winning move is peace for all.

7)  Yanus, Scowcroft, et al have it right–POVERTY is the #1 threat to humanity, eliminate poverty and everything else heals itself.
