The Operational Problem-2008
Coalition forces within Afghanistan could not communicate effectively and share operational Commander’s guidance, information and intelligence
Operational Requirements were Nationally specific, not oriented to Coalition Data Sharing and enterprise mission based execution
Different networks with inadequate cross-domain solutions resulted in poor ops, planning and intelligence information exchange between U.S. and NATO forces in International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
Communication gaps between partner nations increased risks to life, resources, and efficiency

Operational Direction
The underlying importance of the AMN as a blueprint for future Alliance mission networks and for the governance model for new complex programs in theater is a fundamental underpinning of the AMN Capability Planning approach. AMN and its spiral development is proving to be a test bed for future capability development, stressing the importance of progressive development processes whereby increasingly adaptive and agile CIS delivery is being expedited in support of operations. The collapsing of traditional acquisition processes is bringing innovative and flexible solutions to the war-fighter in shorter timescales than hitherto deemed possible. This trajectory in CIS delivery is underpinned by COMISAF whereby he states that the AMN is the most important enabling capability he has as a commander. The approach is about ‘command – centric’ delivery that is ‘network –enabled’ and not ‘network – centric’.
Gen David Petraeus COMISAF, Dec 10

CIAV Principles
CIAV is a function that provides operational A&V of coalition interoperability based on authorized CMTs
CIAV interoperability is NOT about providing opinion; it is about providing C5ISR mission risk assessment and operational impact with appropriate mitigation
CIAV does NOT replace National/Joint/System testing activities
CIAV is tasked by the Capability Authority and is executed by the CIAV Management Group
CIAV is operationally relevant and persistent; it is enduring

AMN Architecture WG Develops the overall AMN architecture and modeling of the AMN mission
threads in order to support multinational C5ISR planning at the enterprise level. AWG activities are focused on supporting the conduct of safe operations and enable operational agility in the Afghanistan Area of Operations. The AMN AWG supported the following objectives:
• Migration to a common Coalition C5ISR network • Identify common coalition “mission threads” and ensure each has adequate
information systems support • Ensure data consistency and availability across the AMN for the duration of
the operation • Enable nations to bring their own tools to the fight, yet fight using common
AMN data • Improve efficiency and effectiveness by reducing the number of systems and
data sources• Enable the sharing of information

CIAV Benefits Determined issues with Blue Force Situational Awareness that immediately reduced the risk
of blue on blue incidents. Assisted with Canadian Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) issues that discovered their beacons were turned off.
Developing process to eliminate unknown US Blue Force ground tracks on NATO COP.
Increased the reliability of Chat Services, directly impacting MEDEVAC missions as well as the AMN Chat operational architecture and TTPs to enhance C2 across the coalition.
Assured and Validated Freedom of Movement mission thread data exchange; CIAV recommendations immediately improved ground movement coordination.
Joint ISR Collection Coordination and Intelligence Requirements Management (CCIRM) findings resulted in a process that reduced burdens on collection managers, decreased manual translation errors, and decreased latency of product request delivery/tasking.
Supporting III Corps G-6 with pre-deployment coordination briefings and training material for NATO systems.
