CONNECTING OUR SOLDIERS

Why we need Mission Command

FUTURE FIGHTING FORCES REQUIRE THE CAPABILITY TO: • Operate decentralized • Improve battlefield visualization, understanding, coordination, and synchronized action by sharing,

displaying, and integrating essential information from dismounted Soldiers to theater Army headquarters • Provide timely flow of information in accordance with the commander’s priorities with integrated,

protected, layered, and secure communications capable of both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight to enable unity of command

• Ensure effective communication and coordination of enemy, friendly, civilian intelligence and information as well as political, military, economic, social, infrastructure and information variables across all Army echelons and joint, interagency, intergovernmental, multinational organizations and external organizations

• Gain and maintain the space, cyber/electromagnetic advantage and deny same to enemies • Engage and communicate via multiple means to influence perceptions
