VICE-ADMIRAL ARTHUR K. CEBROWSKI, R.I.P.<\/b><\/p>\n
I was sad to see from Dr. Barnett’s<\/strong> blog <\/a>that one of the nation’s preeminent strategic thinkers and creative defense intellectuals, Vice-Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski<\/a><\/strong>, passed away this weekend after a long illness. Cebrowski was hailed as ” The Father of Network-Centric Warfare<\/a>” and was noted for his vision and depth as a military theorist. The implications of Cebrowski’s NCO paradigm for warfare, economics and business management have yet to be fully realized or understood.<\/p>\n Until recently, Cebrowski headed the Office of Force Transformation<\/a>, a post created in the wake of 9\/11, and reported directly to the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Zenpundit<\/em><\/strong> would like to offer sincere condolences to the family and friends of Art Cebrowski.<\/p>\n I’m not certain exactly how many first-rate strategic minds the United States can boast of having, but we just lost one of the giants.<\/p>\n Addendum:<\/strong><\/p>\n Arthur K.
