Command, Control and Coordination of the Joint Battlefield Interdiction Area.

Abstract

The U.S. military services possess a variety of weapons capable of delivering precision strikes throughout the range of the battlefield from close to long-range attack. Although this has increased the military's capability and flexibility, it has created problems of mission overlap, inefficiency, redundancy, and fratricide, particularly in the battlefield interdiction area (BIA). Joint doctrine and traditional fire support control measures provide sufficient guidance for today's joint battlefield, but do not resolve the dilemma in the BIA. Specifically, who should be responsible for command and control of interdiction missions in the area and how should this be accomplished to optimize joint operations?
