C2 in the Joint Task Force (JTF) Enterprise
Abstract
Command and control (C2) comprises those policies (rules) and mechanisms (services), implemented through human and synthetic means, required for the effective governance of an enterprise. An enterprise is an arbitrary unit of organization tasked with governance of a mission. We present an enterprise command and control (EC2) framework designed to provide DOD enterprises, exemplified by a Joint Task Force (JTF), with shared network-accessible C2 services. A JTF is DOD s designated unit of organization responsible for mission-specific joint operations. JTF EC2 includes a precise definition of enterprise, an associated enterprise command structure (ECS) and a specific set of control processing services (CPS). The proposed framework is consistent with the DOD's stated goal of migrating to network-centric (i.e., GIG-mediated) operations (NCO). In support of collaboration in jointly managed activities, agile JTF enterprises benefit from service oriented capabilities along their vertical command (accountability) axes and along their horizontal production (logistics) axes, allowing them to support a wider range of NCO functions while simultaneously participating in and influencing behavior of multiple communities of interest (COIs).
