Title: Genius Revisted: Human Aspects of Command and Control
Abstract: Abstract : Command and control on today's battlefield is a complex process that integrates facilities, equipment, procedures and people into a network to support the military commander. People are the most important part of that process, and the commander is the most important person. Clausewitz introduced the concept of military genius in On War, highlighting those traits necessary in the commander to achieve that genius. The study examines those intellectual and tempermental traits necessary on today's battlefield, relating them to key decision points in the command and control process. The importance of human interaction throughout the command and control process is discussed in light of the myriad of informational, operational and organizational decisions required of the commander within and about the process. Finally, the implications of human aspects of command and control for the future U.S. Army considering force and budget reductions are presented.
