About

Command and control (C2)—the exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned and attached forces—is fundamental to the art and science of warfare. No single specialized military function, either by itself or combined with others, has a purpose without it. Commanders are responsible for C2. Through C2, commanders provide purpose and direction to integrate all military activities towards a common goal—mission accomplishment. Commanders need support to exercise C2 effectively. At every echelon of command, each commander establishes a C2 system—the arrangement of people, processes, networks, and command posts that enable commanders to conduct operations. The C2 system supports the commander's decision making, disseminates the commander's decisions to subordinates, and facilitates controlling forces.
