Is 'command and control' a single concept, or two separate concepts--command and control--which have inherent conflicts on the tactical battlefield. The concepts of command and control will be examined by using doctrinal definitions and conceptual discussions from several sources. The concepts of 'synchronization' and 'integration' will be examined for their specific impact on the concept of control. Using any differences identified in the conceptual development as a criteria, conclusions will be drawn as to the type of systems required to support the concepts of command and control. Command and control should be viewed as not a single concept, but two interrelated concepts. Command as a concept consists of the functions of planning, organizing, coordinating, directing, and controlling military activities toward mission accomplishment. Control, one of the functions of command, is involved with supervising and directing activities of the force to accomplish the intent of the commander. Since control is part of command, the term 'command and control' tends to be misunderstood and misleading, making a clear understanding of the concept of command and the concept of control much more difficult to grasp.
