MCTP 3-30A MAGTF Command and Staff Action 1-1 CHAPTER 1. COMMAND AND STAFF ORGANIZATION Ever since armies became too large for one person to easily lead, the art of command and control (C2) provided a key component of military effectiveness. Joint Publication (JP) 1, Doctrine for the Armed Forces of the United States, states C2 is "the exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned and attached forces in the accomplishment of the mission." Ideally, superior C2 can give a military force the critical advantage of being able to respond to change more rapidly and with greater situational awareness than its opponent. The unit commander exemplifies the core of any military C2 system. The commander's job requires leadership, making critical and timely decisions, and ensuring the full implementation of those decisions.
