Abstract:

Command and control C2 in a military context has been defined as the means by which a JFC joint forces commander synchronizes andor integrates joint force activities.1 C2supported by information, communication, and sensing technologiesenabled the United States to achieve quick victories, with minimal casualties, in recent military campaigns. For instance, C2 allowed U.S. and coalition partners to closely integrate their air, land, and maritime forces and operate with speed, maneuverability, flexibility, and surprise during Operation Desert Storm and in swift defeats of Afghanistan and Iraq.2 It has been argued that effective means of C2 of U.S. forces may help deter future conflicts.3
