Authors: Judy G. Chizek, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: The Department of Defense indicates it has embarked on a huge effort, labeled "transformation," to dramatically shift from a force prepared to fight the Soviet Union to a force suitable for 21st century adversaries, including entities who conduct or are otherwise associated with terrorism. A key component of this transformation is DOD's intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability. This report addresses ISR transformation.
