Striking the C2 Balance in 2010

Abstract

To aid the future operational commander, this paper analyzes various command and control (C2) styles in an idealistic environment of perfect situational awareness. The theoretical model of perfect situational awareness is then modified by three factors to provide a more pragmatic model from which an enlightened selection of C2 style can be made. Analysis of these models concludes that a decentralized C2 style will best serve the operational commander in 2010.
