While watching the failure of our bureaucracy repeat itself regularly, I find myself thinking of viable outcomes when alternate methods are employed than what we presently witness. It seems like things in office are purposely stagnated as a crutch for politicians to use for blaming all sorts of things on. The number one culprit is compartmentalized government. Intelligence officials blatantly understand that compartmentalization is detrimental to everyday business, but deliberately refuse to do anything that addresses the problem may be because of its potential benefits?
It makes me wonder how often they rely on the broken system to explain away procedural discrepancies and other ‘happenstances’ that may or may not occur. An excellent example of compartmentalization crisis is the outdated U.S. government Technology Council. Our national security Is a direct result of ill-networked compartmentalization caused by neglect. The national data storage technologies used today are like what was utilized in the 90's. President Trump recently penned an executive order in July 2017 on a national emergency magnitude to address the issues by immediately funding new network hardware for our intelligence departments to share via the cloud.
This innovation to federal agencies I.T. infrastructure de-compartmentalizes our agencies to an extent that already makes them over 30% more efficient with their assigned tasks. Rebooting how the federal government does infrastructure technology is a necessity on a regular basis these days. Artificial intelligence can be used in commercial technology, prioritizing technology students to focus on using cloud-based platforms to share files and data seamlessly. The government is forced to catch up with technology’s faster pace and de-compartmentalize the nation’s agencies because of efficient data stream. Cross communications are much faster today, and show exactly how obsolete the compartmentalized government communication channels do nothing other than hinder response.
Encouraging new methods to be adopted by our government agencies shouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish given the factual numbers. No other country has been conducting their military industrial complex thru a web of unconnected channels like ours for so long. Our compartmentalized government has been causing international incidents because of their inept communications between branches. The engineers behind our secure communications are also unrelated to each other, furthering maintenance issues and other technical discrepancies.
Government departments are often caught working for other government department’s corporate interests almost every time there is a policy failure or some other sort of violation of procedure. The governments only answer to a failed policy is to fund reform committees that often take years to publish findings, after many things have already changed since the beginning of the motion. The other departments like USAID are unrelated to Military daily duty are often weeks behind in their communication, too. The left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing keeps things more or less in a constant grey area, and almost all effective communication would immediately break down in the event of any surprises or single failure, stagnating, decisions, movement, resource delivery and other vital administrative protocols.
