Organization
AFNIC is composed of five directorates:
Network Architecture (NA): Designs and documents future AFNet infrastructure plans and standardizes network service capabilities. When a new system needs to be integrated onto the AFNet, NA reviews the system's architecture to identify and, if necessary, resolves any integration or compatibility issues between the programs and the network.
Network Engineering (NE): Provides technical network consulting to all Air Force organizations to help them properly connect their systems and products to the AFNet.
Network Validation (NV): Validates program performance against representative physical and simulated AFNet environments to assure network security, increase interoperability with the network, and maximize program functionality. NV also leverages AFNIC's advanced simulation capabilities to support cyber training and exercises.
Networthiness (NW): Leads the Networthiness assessment of all systems, applications and devices for effective integration onto the AFNet.
Plans and Programs (XP): Leads all operational, concept, functional and strategic support functions relating to local and enterprise strategic and integration planning.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
—Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
“In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
