U.S. National Security Strategy –
Creating a Future of Effective Partnerships
Strengthening Security Relationships
• Our relationships with mission partners are a critical component of our global
engagement and support our collective security
Modernizing our partnerships/alliances
• Worldly interconnectivity
Multi-lateral approaches

Joint Information Environment (JIE)
Coalition Forces
Improved Mission Effectiveness
• Rapid, dynamic response to support changing mission
information needs
• Timely, secure access to data and apps needed to
accomplish assigned missions
• Agile information systems that enable all PACOM
missions and any set of partners
• Resilient in disconnected, intermittent and lowbandwidth - “DIL” network environments.

“Enterprise Information Environment”
Increased Cyber Security
• Operate, monitor and defend IT assets to attain and
maintain information dominance
• Robust and resilient providing the integrity, availability
and confidentiality needed to assure all PACOM
missions and any set of partners.

IT Efficiencies and Joint Services
• Consistent IT architecture supports effective fielding of
capabilities
• Interoperable information systems developed and
implemented with maximum performance, reliability,
and at best value minimum waste.

Common Mission Network Transport (CMNT)
• Information content is exposed to less people because of inherent
compartmentalization (separate channels)
• All traffic is IPSec encrypted – any unencrypted traffic is suspect
• NIPRNET traffic is protected at the same level as SIPRNET
• Internet traffic is separated from NIPRNET
• Takes advantage security features of IPv6

JIE and MPE Approach & Benefits
Improved Mission
Effectiveness /
Operational Flexibility
Responsive, Agile
• One network – dynamic enclaves
• Reuse of the network with common equipment
• Add new network enclaves rapidly
Improved information sharing
• More enclaves can be employed
• Accommodates trust management for discretionary
disclosure of sensitive information
Increased Cyber
Security
Defensible, Protected, Proactive
• Compartmentalized / Virtualized
• Monitored / Controlled / Concealed
IT Efficiencies /
Joint Information
Services
Economical, Interoperable
• One network – common equipment
• Served clients; not dedicated client-server
o Less to maintain / easier to monitor
