Knowledge Engineering for Command and Control Transformation at United States European Command (USEUCOM)

Abstract

This report describes the results of knowledge engineering conducted during the period 2031 October 2003 at the request of the United States European Command (USEUCOM), commonly referred to as "EUCOM." The work is intended to identify baseline technology utilization and operational practices, which might then be used to assess the impact of changes brought about as they transform the command in accordance with guidance issued by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The transformation can be characterized as a desire to move from a command organization focusing on the oversight and facilitation of communication and coordination among subordinate operational units to a concept of operations known as Standing Joint Force Headquarters (SJFHQ), which will involve network-centric, command and control (C2) capabilities, with increased speed of command, greater flexibility in addressing command operations, and more efficient use of limited staff manpower. The issues highlighted in this report are being provided to assist EUCOM in identifying opportunities for improvement and making strategic decisions in determining where limited resources might be most effectively applied.
