ANNEX D
ELEMENTS OF WARFIGHTER INFORMATION
To date, there is no community accepted taxonomy of warfighter information, i. e. that informa-tion
required by the warfighter to accomplish his missions. The following is presented as a
strawman and a potential starting point for developing such a list. Figure D- 1 graphically de-picts
four categories of warfighter information that form the highest level categorization in the
taxonomy. Table D- 1 extends the concept represented in Figure D- 1 and provides an initial list
of standardized categories of warfighter information under which most elements of warfighter
information can logically be placed. As stated above, this list is presented as a strawman and as
a potential starting point for developing a Universal List of Warfighter Information, analogous
to the Universal Joint Task List, that all unified commands, Services, and DoD agencies can use
to describe the information categories and elements that are the subject of C4ISR information
exchanges.
