Communications, the Forgotten Element of C3: A Study of Wargaming, Modeling, and Simulations
Abstract
The question is: Can commanders at all levels, up to and including the NCA, better plan for and predict outcomes of potential conflict given realistic constraints with respect to communications assets and services? Communications for strategic and tactical operations can no longer continue to be assumed. We have, for many years in the past, not exercised our senior commanders into making decisions based on availability of communications resources and services. While technology has improved exponentially compared to our ability to use all available communications services, 'we' continue to demand and expect more. Communications and information have become a valuable resource, however finite, both in industry as well as in the military. In addition, advances in technology together with inherent changing architectures, make consideration of system fragility and availability a key element in the decision making process.
