The qualities of commanders and their ideas are more important to a general theory of command and control than are the technical and architectural qualities of their computers and communications systems. This theory separates the art of command and control (C2) from the hardware and software systems that support C2. It centers on the idea of a command concept, a commander's vision of a military operation that informs the making of command decisions during that operation. The theory suggests that the essential communications up and down the chain of command can (and should) be limited to disseminating, verifying, or modifying command concepts. The theory also suggests, as an extreme case, that an ideal command concept is one that is so prescient, sound, and fully conveyed to subordinates that it would allow the commander to leave the battlefield before the battle commences, with no adverse effect upon the out-come. This report advances a theory about military command and control. Then, through six historical case studies of modern battles, it explores the implications of the theory both for the professional development of commanders and for the design and evaluation of command and control architectures. The report should be of interest to members of the Joint Staff and the services involved in developing command and control doctrine for the U.S. military, and to all of those interested in the military art and science of command and control.

Military command and control is not merely evolving, it is co-evolving. Technology is creating new opportunities for different types of command and control, and new types of command and control are creating new aspirations for technology. The question is how to manage this process, how to achieve a jointly optimised blend of socio and technical and create the kind of agility and self-synchronisation that modern forms of command and control promise. The answer put forward in this book is to re-visit sociotechnical systems theory. In doing so, the problems of 21st century command and control can be approached from an alternative, multi-disciplinary and above all human-centred perspective. Human factors (HF) is also co-evolving. The traditional conception of the field is to serve as a conduit for knowledge between engineering and psychology yet 21st century command and control presents an altogether different challenge. Viewing military command and control through the lens of sociotechnical theory forces us to confront difficult questions about the non-linear nature of people and technology: technology is changing, from platform centric to network centric; the interaction with that technology is changing, from prescribed to exploratory; and complexity is increasing, from behaviour that is linear to that which is emergent. The various chapters look at this transition and draw out ways in which sociotechnical systems theory can help to understand it. The sociotechnical perspective reveals itself as part of a conceptual toolkit through which military command and control can be transitioned, from notions of bureaucratic, hierarchical ways of operating to the devolved, agile, self-synchronising behaviour promised by modern forms of command and control like Network Enabled Capability (NEC). Sociotechnical system theory brings with it a sixty year legacy of practical application and this real-world grounding in business process re-engineering underlies the entire book. An attempt has been made to bring a set of sometimes abstract (but no less useful) principles down to the level of easy examples, design principles, evaluation criteria and actionable models. All of these are based on an extensive review of the current state of the art, new sociotechnical/NEC studies conducted by the authors, and insights derived from field studies of real-life command and control. Time and again, what emerges is a realisation that the most agile, self-synchronising component of all in command and control settings is the human.

"Understanding Command and Control is the first in a new series of CCRP Publications that will explore the future of Command and Control ... This book begins at the beginning: focusing on the problem(s) Command and Control was designed (and has evolved) to solve. It is only by changing the focus from what Command and Control is to why Command and Control is that we will place ourselves in a position to move on"--Preface.

Command and control system is defined by: (1) outlining a tentative model of the embedding military process consisting of five functions (sense, analyze, decide, act, communicate) at command points, with emphasis on the interfaces between these functions: (2) describing 18 military command and control systems in operation or under development; (3) noting how analysts have categorized this kind of system; and (4) indicating resemblances between this kind of system and two non-military organizations. It is suggested that methodology for improving the derivation of concepts for command and control systems can be improved by profiting from past experience concerning five inter-related trouble-points originating in the concepts for such systems: interfaces at function and system boundaries, data input at the front end, interaction of noise and data conversions, consideration of the anti-system, and system exercising. Two of these trouble points are examined to show how such analyses might contribute further to an improved methodology. Optimization of enabling conditions could also result in such improvement. These include participation of the user, learning the task of conceptual design, managing that taks, and letting the system evolve. It is recommended that the Navy Continue this study in-house by assembling further information about 'trouble-points' so that designers can learn from problems encountered in the past and their resolutions or continuing challenges.

Commanding and controlling organizations in extreme situations is a challenging task in military, intelligence, and disaster management. Such command and control must be quick, effective, and considerate when dealing with the changing, complex, and risky conditions of the situation. To enable optimal command and control under extremes, robust structures and efficient operations are required of organizations. This work discusses how to design and conduct virtual experiments on resilient organizational structures and operational practices using modeling and simulation. The work illustrates key aspects of robustly networked organizations and modeled performance of human decision-makers through examples of naval-air defense, counterterrorism operations, and disaster responses.

The origin of this book lies in a program sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to explore innovative technologies with the potential to catalyze a revolutionary change in command and control (C2), specifically joint aerospace operations: the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) program. The JFACC program was initiated in 1996, under an original charter of developing technologies for assisting in the rapid, semi-automated construction of a fully delineated, cross-functional air campaign plan. After less than two years of using then-current AI techniques in planning and scheduling, the program decided to abandon this more traditional approach, and in late 1999 adopted a new technical direction. Led by Program Manager Colonel Dan McCorry, USAF, the program recreated itself under the following hypothesis: Control Theory and its supporting technologies have developed sufficiently to be applicable to problems in military C2. It is upon the results of this latter phase of the JFACC program that this book is based. A goal of this book is to present the potential military utility of control engineering in a way that the non-specialist can understand and evaluate. We chose to adopt a style that is neither a collection of technical papers nor an entirely non-technical discussion, resulting in a book that does not require a specialist's background and yet provides a significant measure of technical content. We avoid jargon and formalism, and focus instead on how the technology will work in practice-its limitations and dependencies, as well as its utility and value.
