The terrorist attacks committed by Osama bin Laden illustrate that he has developed the ability to apply operational art and network centric warfare to terrorism. He has clearly defined policy objectives on which he bases his strategy and focuses his attacks on U.S. centers of gravity and critical vulnerabilities. He develops and protects his own centers of gravity. He employs network centric warfare to multiply the effectiveness of his limited forces by dispersing them into C2, intelligence, logistics, and tactical nodes. His use of operational art makes him more dangerous than previous terrorists and exposes critical weaknesses in the United States anti-terrorism posture.
