In the Information Age, the foreground is represented by the exploitation of information technology so as to fully benefit from the explosive potential of its rapid spreading and processing. These, in turn, are revolutionizing the way states, institutions and people interact, radically changing the traditional principles of management and organization. The military implications of the new science of organization versus hierarchical and distributed systems models are still under study. Obviously, information age technology and modern management ideas exert a great influence on armies in terms of organization, equipment, training, fighting and operation, protection and ways of participation in conflict resolution.
