Book Analysis: Command and Control of Theater Forces: Adequacy,

Abstract

This study analyzes the book, Command and Control of Theater Forces: Adequacy, by John H. Cushman. Cushman's thesis is that our theater command and control systems are seriously deficient, due primarily to a flawed requirements and acquisition process. This study provides a synopsis of Cushman's specific criticisms and analyzes them in terms of other sources and recent developments. The study concludes Cushman's book raises some valid points, though recent developments such as JCS reform are potential solutions.
