New look for US Army assessments

The AWA concept evolved out of the army's Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) process. NIEs were semi-annual events that emerged in the aftermath of the cancelled Future Combat System programme and focused on refining and implementing the network concept that had survived the cancellation.
An NIE 'dot one' event was held near the beginning of each fiscal year, with a more expansive 'dot two' event conducted late the following spring.
