Office of Force Transformation

The transformation process intends to challenge the status quo with new concepts for American defense to ensure an overwhelming and continuing competitive advantage.

OFT transformation plan includes changing the force and its culture from the bottom up through large amounts of experimentation, increased sharing of new knowledge and experiences, and by broadening military capabilities while mitigating risk.

One of the pillar theories driving OFT is Network Centric Warfare (NCW), also known as Network Centric Operations, which according to OFT is a theory of war in the Information Age and the organizing principle for national military planning and joint concepts, capabilities, and systems.

"[6] The Defense Department's April 2003 "Transformation Planning Guidance" document defines transformation as "a process that shapes the changing nature of military competition and cooperation through new combinations of concepts, capabilities, people, and organizations that exploit out nation's advantages and protect against our asymmetric vulnerabilities to sustain our strategic position, which helps underpin peace and stability in the world."

Some of its major projects included Operationally Responsive Space and Stiletto, and it produced strategies that helped to form DeVenCI.
