Book excerpt: The author introduces basic definitions, functions, and processes of command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I). He develops a conceptual model of the combat operations process based on the American approach to war. The study investigates the stochastic nature of combat operations and develops a guide to effective command. Major Orr concludes that a distributed C3I architecture designed to exploit the unpredictability of combat is best suited to the true nature of combat and the strengths of American fighting units. Chapter I summarizes the work of the military theorists I found most useful and discusses the American approach to war. Challenges to this approach by advocates of "maneuver warfare" also receive attention. These summaries form the basis for later comments on the nature of war and the combat operations command process. Chapter II introduces the basic definitions, functions, and process of C3I. I then modify a conceptual model of the C3I process to produce a conceptual model of the combat operations process. The detailed discussion of the decision and force application functions within this process introduces two additional conceptual models. The power distribution model describes combat in terms of the location of sources of power and the ability of these power sources to apply military force. This model includes the evolution of this power distribution due to maneuver and actual combat interactions. This power distribution model is the basis for the discussion of command in Chapter III. The second model is introduced in the military problem-solving process model. This model, applied to the problem of controlling the evolution of the power distribution, provides the framework for the investigation of effective command of the combat operations process. Chapter III looks at the concept of command in combat operations. It identifies and discusses the implications of the stochastic nature of combat operations-the unpredictability of combat results and the uncertain, probabilistic nature of combat. Theoretical concepts are illustrated using simple military examples. As a result of these observations, the chapter defines military command as control of the evolution of the power distribution, and it links strategy to the problem of influencing this evolution into desirable patterns.

This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study summarizes a wide-ranging investigation of combat operations, military theory, and command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) that occurred during the author's 1981-82 tour at the Airpower Research Institute (ARI) as a research associate sponsored by Air Force Systems Command (AFSC). In previous assignments, he had used his training in mathematics and computer science in formulating, implementing, and using computer models of pieces of the combat operations process. He had also been introduced to C3I systems and concepts during an extensive review of AFSC analysis efforts related to C3I. These experiences left him dissatisfied with the treatment of strategy and C3I in engagement modeling. Therefore, when AFSC asked for nominations for the ARI, he applied and suggested an investigation of the interrelation between C3I and strategy as a research topic.

Book excerpt: This study summarizes a wide-ranging investigation of combat operations, military theory, and command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) that occurred during the author's 1981-82 tour at the Airpower Research Institute as a research associate sponsored by Air Force Systems Command. His research eventually focused on two areas. The first was a search for a unifying concept to explain strategy and combat operations. The second was an attempt to understand C3I in terms of this concept. The five chapters of this study trace his investigations and conclusions in these areas. Chapter I summarizes the work of the military theorists he found most useful and discusses the American approach to war. Chapter II introduces the basic definitions, functions, and processes of C3I. Chapter III looks at the concept of command in combat operations. Chapter IV expands upon this last concept by using the military problem-solving process model as a guide to effective command. The final chapter examines more closely the role of C3I within the combat operations process.
