Best short term solu+on (…before the WARSAW summit) to use NRF package as it is to provide the ENHANCED NRF: THREE STAR LEVEL HQ PLUS VJTF BDE FROM THE SAME NATION and try to solve as many ques/ons as we can during STEADFAST COBALT -­‐  Crucial role of NCI Agency Final thinking for industry We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
