  COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM PRINCIPLES
  12-35. The complex nature of communications in cyberspace operations requires systems guided by
  principles in order to ensure mission success. The multinational force capitalizes on information and near-
  simultaneous dissemination to turn information into actions. An effective system helps the commander
  conduct distributed operations. Force employment decisions are influenced by the system’s ability to network
  the force in an often-contested operational environment. The network must be interoperable, agile, trusted,
  and shared to provide the flexibility to meet mission objectives. (See Figure 12-1 for the principles of an
  effective network.) The network increases the operational effectiveness of multinational forces by enabling
  dispersed forces to operate, communicate, and maneuver more efficiently. That same network also enables
  forces to populate, access, and share a COP to attain the desired end state at all echelons. The communications
  system directorate of the multinational force’s staff integrates each partner nation’s network into the
  multinational communications system.
