what are some of the lessons lear paying huge dividends. i'd be remiss if i didn't give you an example. we write requirements, they're written in some schoolhouse somewhere and the acquisition community goes off and they buy them. sometimes we don't go back in and check those requirements to make sure they're right. that's what the n. i.e. allows us to do. in an operational setting, soldiers are taking a look at our requirements and making sure they're right. we have a program called the net warrior program, multibillion dollar program that was for light infantrymen, basically a computer on your back so you can have situational awareness and it costs a lot and it weighed 14 pounds. that's a lot for an infantryman to be carrying around when he's carrying around a bunch of other stuff. we put a commercial capability in the hands of our soldiers, connected to a data radio essentially doing the same thing and we found it wasn't that the acquisition program manager was building something bad, we had just given them the wrong requirements to buil
