LTG Shoffner, at the time Commander, Combined Arms Command, addresses the interrelation of C2 and tactical decision making in this republication of his address to the October 1992 meeting of the Military Operations Research Society's Command and Control Workshop. He separates command (the commander's art) and control (the staff's skill) and suggests that they are balanced (`the more control, the less command'). He postulates a simple model of the C2 process (formulate concept, detailed planning & preparation, execute the operation) and proceeds from there to describe the crucial components of successful battle planning (e.g., information, sufficient rest, assets to prosecute the plan) and the actions required to employ them (e.g., careful collection planning, effective strike execution). He then prescribes some changes to fit C2 to the future battlefield, including the abandonment of intuitive decision-making modeling in favor of expert systems with `human' interfaces.
