What Is Command and Control

Command and control involves a commander recognizing what needs to be done and ensuring appropriate actions are taken through conscious decisions, preconditioned reactions to crisis situations, or rules-based procedures. It can involve quick, precise actions that require computer automation, such as guided missile control, or complex judgments that require experienced human decision making, like devising tactics. Command and control ensures tasks are identified and appropriate actions are carried out through various means depending on the situation.

What is Command and Control?

Command and control is the means by which a commander recognizes


what needs to be done and sees to it that appropriate actions are taken.
Sometimes this recognition takes the form of a conscious command
decision—as in deciding on a concept of operations. Sometimes it takes
the form of a preconditioned reaction—as in immediate-action drills,
practiced in advance so that we can execute them reflexively in a
moment of crisis. Sometimes it takes the form of a rules-based procedure
—as in the guiding of an aircraft on final approach. Some types of
command and control must occur so quickly and precisely that they can
be accomplished only by computers—such as the command and control of
a guided missile in flight. Other forms may require such a degree of
judgment and intuition that they can be performed only by skilled,
experienced people—as in devising tactics, operations, and strategies.
