Abstract: Innovations in information technology have revolutionized business
practices over the past decade. Commensurate changes in military practices have
been much slower in coming. There now appears to be broad agreement,
however, that a revolution in military affairs may be at hand. This
article reviews these overall trends and their implications for military
operations, particularly in terms of likely impacts on human effectiveness in
general, and human decision making in particular.
