Abstract
The development of information technology in the world in the last few decades has made the United States (US) develop military doctrine based on information technology called "warfare network centric". When the US invades Afghanistan as part of the global war against terrorism the doctrine of "network centric warfare" is tested to overcome the conditions of asymmetrical warfare in Afghanistan with the ability to superior information and the use of force in use that can compensate for Taliban fighting and Al-Qaeda is organized by not being hierarchically structured. In conditions of balanced strategic interaction in the conditions of asymmetrical warfare, the US should be able to neutralize Al-Qaeda and the Taliban easily and quickly but the disparities that occur in asymmetric warfare in Afghanistan not only in military strength but also in status, ideological and structural disparities the aim of military operations in Afghanistan has not been fully achieved by the US and has made the war last long.

Summary
Ide atau konsep Network Centric Warfare (NCW) baru dikenal semenjak 1998 dengan dipublikasikannya artikel Arthur K. Menurut Cebrowski dan Gartska ada tiga bagian: pertama, superioritas informasi (information superiority) yang mungkin didapatkan dengan dukungan TI; kedua, unit-unit militer dapat bergerak dengan cepat dan presisi; dan ketiga, dengan kedua hal sebelumnya dapat menghasilkan cara berperang yang simultan, cepat dan mendadak sehingga dapat mengacaukan strategi lawan.[43] Konsep NCW juga memungkinkan unit-unit militer melakukan sinkronisasi diri (self-synchronization) sehingga suatu unit militer selain mengikuti perintah/komando dari atasan juga mampu untuk beradaptasi dengan ekosistem medan peperangan.[44] Sinkronisasi diri unit militer hanya mungkin dilakukan jika pengorganisasian militer dibuat dari bawah ke atas (bottom-up) sesuai dengan teori jejaring kompleksitas.[45]. Stein dan Gratska dalam buku Network Centric Warfare: Developing and Leveraging Information Superiority, menyimpulkan bahwa NCW pada akhirnya adalah sebuah konsep doktrin militer yang berusaha untuk meningkatkan keterhubungan/ interaksi antar unit militer secara berjejaring dengan dukungan TI, yang pada akhirnya dapat menghasilkan kekuatan tempur yang lebih kuat dan efektif. Entitas-entitas militer yang berjejaring berdasarkan penyebaran informasi ini, dapat meningkatkan efektifitas kemampuan tempur, serta efisensi waktu dan sumber daya.[48]
