Book excerpt: "The introduction of advanced technologies into the military, which is known as the "revolution in military affairs," is producing an opportunity for significant changes in the American military's paradigm for command and control. The future battlespace will require commanders to operate more efficiently and at a higher operations tempo, so that commanders will be able to use the advantages of dominant battlespace awareness to enhance what is known as "command-by-intent." But the more likely outcome is a return tocommand-by-direction. A potential consequence of this change is that significant command functions will be made by machines that act, not as an assistant, but as the decision maker and executor -- which is known as the machine commander. However, the current U.S. military doctrine is inconsistent about the admissibility of such an entity, even though technological developments are on the threshold of delivering the components for constructing the first-generation machine commander. Furthermore, the same infrastructure that assists the traditional human commander creates a framework for using a machine commander. Furthermore, the same infrastructure that assists the tradiitional human commander creates a framework for using a machine commander. While resistance to this technology is expected, this is the proper time to examine the implications of a machine commander for military operations in the future."--Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982, the US Army began its renaissance of the operational level of war with the publication of a revised Field Manual (FM) 100-5, Operations. The rediscovery of this level and the subsequent experimentation with it strained the very limits of the Army's command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) systems. Virtually all branches of the Army felt the changes brought on by FM 100-5, especially in the areas of firepower, mobility, and protection. Commanders had to view military operations from a broader perspective and act accordingly. The significant impact of the operational level of war has been in organizational changes, new concepts, and dynamic operations. The effect of these changes on C3I are reviewed and assessed in this monograph. The first topic reviewed is the Army's concept of the operational level warfare. Next, the theoretical and doctrinal bases of the Army's C3I systems are examined. Finally, the requirements for C3I at the operational level are presented and conclusions drawn. Keywords: Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence, Leadership, Command, Operational art, Operational level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines intelligence at the operational level of war. Current US Army intelligence doctrine fails to recognize an operational level intelligence function separate and distinct from tactical or strategic intelligence functions. Neither does it identify the characteristics of intelligence at the operational level. Doctrine states that intelligence at the operational level of war is merely the 'fusion' of tactical and strategic intelligence. This study posits that fusion of tactical and strategic intelligence is inadequate for the operational commander and that the very proposition reflects a serious void in military thinking. It looks at several military actions at the operational level, outlines the peculiar characteristics of intelligence associated with those actions and suggests a number of considerations for those who deal with intelligence at the operational level of war. Conclusions include: the US Army lacks a refined operational intelligence perspective; the operational art demands that an operational intelligence perspective be thoroughly developed and examined for its doctrinal implications; and doctrine needs to be reexamined and rewritten to describe adequately the characteristics and functions of intelligence at the operational level of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naveh (history and Russian and eastern European studies, Tel Aviv U.) offers an interpretation of the field of military knowledge between strategy and tactics, operational art. He traces its evolution into a full-fledged theory through the landmarks of 19th-century thought and operational ignorance, the Blitzkrieg concept, the Soviet Deep Operation theory of the 1920s and 1930s, and the crystallization of the American Airland Battle theory in the 1970s and 1980s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.

Book excerpt: Intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB), the Army's traditional methodology for finding and analyzing relevant information for its operations, is not effective for tackling the operational and intelligence challenges of urban operations. The authors suggest new ways to categorize the complex terrain, infrastructure, and populations of urban environments and incorporate this information into Army planning and decisionmaking processes.
Download or read book On Operations written by Brett Friedman and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Operations: Operational Art and Military Disciplines traces the history of the development of military staffs and ideas on the operational level of war and operational art from the Napoleonic Wars to today, viewing them through the lens of Prussia/Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States. B. A. Friedman concludes that the operational level of war should be rejected as fundamentally flawed, but that operational art is an accurate description of the activities of the military staff, an organization developed to provide the brainpower necessary to manage the complexity of modern military operations. Rather than simply serve as an intercession between levels, the military staff exists as an enabler and supporting organization to tacticians and strategists alike. On Operations examines the organization of military staffs, which has changed little since Napoleon’s time. Historical examinations of the functions staffs provided to commanders, and the disciplines of the staff officers themselves, leads to conclusions about how best to organize staffs in the future. Friedman demonstrates these ideas through case studies of historical campaigns based on the military discipline system developed.

Further, it should aid resource providers and the Joint Staff in examining and coordinating joint training requirements among a number of combatant commands with diverse missions. The next phase of the joint training system begins with the development of a joint training plan delineating how combatant commanders allocate their joint training resources to meet JMETL requirements.
Download or read book Operational Level Intelligence written by Thomas C. Purcell and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper responds to a request from the United States Army Intelligence Center and School to develop an analytical framework for intelligence preparation of the battlefield for the operational level of war. And specifically, to suggest modifications to existing tactical level intelligence preparation of the battlefield processes so the processes can be applied to operational level intelligence estimates focusing on terrain, weather, and enemy forces. The renewed attention to warfare at the operational level has revived interest in many combat support functions at the operational level. Operational level intelligence analysis and operational level intelligence preparation of the battlefield (IPB) are such areas. While much published doctrine and actual IPB exist for tactical level warfare, less is available for operational level use. This paper proposes an analytical framework for conducting operational level IPB and suggests modifications to existing tactical level IPB practices in areas of terrain, weather and the enemy forces so these areas of analysis may be applied to operational level IPB.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tyler analyzes the Malayan Emergency of 1948-1960 focusing on the intelligence needs and methods of the British high commissioner, Sir Gerald Templer. He demonstrates the importance of information gathering and analysis in bringing about the ultimate British victory. Operational design is "a highly complex mental process that imagines the future, reflects on the past, and produces an understanding of both the problem and the optimal solution." Templer and his intelligence professionals did not-indeed could not-consciously use design as a methodology, they intuitively grasped and applied its essence.
