The Marine Corps is developing a new command and control (C2) system in support of their newly emerging warfighting doctrine, Operational Maneuver from the Sea (OMFTS). The OMFTS environment differs from the traditional amphibious operational concept in its fast tempo operations that exploit enemy vulnerabilities via direct movement of forces from ship to shore. A new C2 philosophy that embraces mission type orders, commanders intent, and information technology are critical to the quick and exploitive nature of OMFTS. Full potential of the new C2 system will be achieved through a balanced approach that considers the four C2 system elements: people, doctrine, training, and hardware/software/facilities. These elements are discussed and recommendations are made as how best the Corps may proceed in the development of a new C2 system.
