A top priority for the U.S. military is to better connect disparate forces so that commanders can make more informed decisions in the fog of war.
With a program known as the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control initiatives, the Department of Defense says it aims to achieve “decision advantage by enabling our military to make informed decisions with greater speed and accuracy than our adversaries.”
But the Department of Defense must focus on more than just the aspirational goals of the Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control initiatives if it is to ensure dominance over potential adversaries.
To do that, the DoD should find pragmatic ways to operationalize the concept, addressing the problems it can solve right now. This will require introspection and a willingness to embrace more agile and innovative solutions.
