The Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) research in 1997 examined the performance of alternative organizational structures in a simulated joint operational environment. It also evaluated the structural preferences of experimental teams representing Joint Task Forces. Teams were asked to choose between three alternative organizational designs that varied in degree of similarity to the structure in which teams had been previously trained, thus testing teams’ willingness to change. While a number of related papers in this Proceedings examine both the results of teams’ decision choice and the simulated performance of the alternative architectures, the purpose of this research is to capitalize on the military expertise of research participants. This paper presents the analysis of twenty-two officers with operational backgrounds who used models of organization theory to critique the experimentally derived structures. The contribution of this component of the A2C2 research is to enlighten our understanding of the critical features defined by operationally experience military officers as they considered structural adaptability and performance effectiveness in a joint mission context. This perspective is important to enhancing the generalizability of the laboratory-based A2C2 research to an actual joint operating environment.

BORREGO SPRINGS – The group charged with selecting a site for a new airport began to establish crucial criteria yesterday. Eight members of the San Diego Regional Airport Authority board participated in what was termed a “visioning discussion” during the first day of a two-day workshop at a Borrego Springs resort.
The discussion was meant to help board members come up with what some termed their “utopia airport,” one that would fit all the region’s needs while being convenient for travelers, and good for jobs and businesses, including tourism and technology.
San Diego County residents are scheduled to vote on the board’s proposal in two years, and one member, Paul Peterson, warned that utopia probably will have to be set aside for compromise.
“We’re torn between what would be really nice to have and what we can put on the ballot in 2006,” he said.
The board also heard how airplane design, Federal Aviation Administration standards, required runway approaches and environmental needs regarding noise and land use could affect 10 sites being considered.
The board previously pared a list of 32 candidates to seven. Those finalists are an expansion of Lindbergh Field; Miramar Marine Corps Air Station; an area to the east of Miramar; Camp Pendleton; North Island Naval Air Station; a site in the Imperial County; and March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County.
Two additional sites were added later to the list, one near Campo and one near Borrego Springs. A third site, a portion of which is located in the Cleveland National Forest, was narrowly approved for consideration this month, but is not an official finalist.
The board didn’t plan to eliminate any contenders during the weekend workshop. Yesterday’s discussions offered no insight into which sites might be eliminated.
Some board members said if a largely undeveloped site would be substantially altered by construction of a new airport, it should be removed from consideration. Others sided with member William Lynch, who said that policy would severely limit the board’s options.
“If we’re saying we’d like to look at putting an airport somewhere else besides Lindbergh, but we don’t want to affect the environment, we’re really painting ourselves into a corner,” Lynch said.
The retreat continues today at the Casa del Zorro resort. Discussions will focus on market and financial requirements of a new airport.
Airport authority staffers will review the criteria discussed by the board and present a report at the panel’s December meeting, where members are likely to take a final vote establishing the final guidelines.
Hello my name is Calvin Thompson I am so glad to meet you and be a part of an extraordinary emerging paradigm because there is a shift occurring in the atmosphere and like countless others I am excited to be a part of it. If there was ever a time or a need to be delivered now is the time. The greater part of the process is to embrace a mind set that will facilitate change. As it is written God can do no more for you then he can do through you. We have suffered because of the thoughts that we have entertained that have lowered the frequency of our existence. My quest is to inspire and motivate others to become empowered and become aware of their intrinsic value that they have which is their birthright as a child of God. To reconcile with their true purpose in life to lean more on their spiritual gifts and talents and to let them be a new creature in Christ which is their ultimate reality and that they don’t have to suffer needlessly.
