Command and Control as a Force Multiplier-Myth or Reality?

Abstract

Command and Control (C2) capability establishes one of the most important aspects which deeply effects the combat effectiveness of the military forces. Unless a flexible, responsive, timely and survivable C2 System is established, commanders will not be able to conduct the operations successfully. Taking these realities into account, the study analyzes the tactical level C2 system, its elements and their contribution to the overall system. The study also examines the deficiencies of the current system and includes recommendations for a better C2 system. (Author)
