Operational Level Graphics: A Picture of Progress

Abstract

This study investigates the adequacy of doctrinal tools to meet the demands of command and control at the operational level of war. Specifically, the focus of this monograph lies in the realm of how American operational-level commanders and staffs graphically portray and communicate their concepts for campaigns and major operations. The purpose is to answer the research question: How should military graphics support command and control at the operational level of war. The monograph introduces several theories, concepts, and background information that frame basic command and control (C2) issues. This framework drives the discovery of deficiencies and the resulting development of a set of proposed solutions. The AirLand Battle Future concept is also introduced to establish the azimuth for future doctrinal requirements in C2 support.
