Analysis and Evaluation of the Immediate Reaction Task Force (Land) Command and Control Concept: Applying the COBP

Abstract

The task facing the analytical team charged with evaluating the novel Command and Control (C2) concept of the HQ Immediate Reaction Task Force (Land) (IRTF(L)) was considerable. This paper documents the approach the team took as well as the analytical and data collection activities that were undertaken to utilize the exercises that were used by the HQ while it evolved the Concept. It also highlights an attempt to implement the NATO Code of Best Practice for C2 Assessment in a real life C2 problem within the constraints of the study. The roles played by war games, simulations, process analysis, and historical analysis in the evaluation also are discussed. The paper is followed by 33 briefing charts that summarize the presentation. (1 table, 3 figures, 22 refs.)
