Abstract: Effective military command and control is critical for the success of modern military operations. C2 systems enable the coordination of forces, decision-making, and information sharing across hierarchal command structures. This paper provides an over view of C2 key concepts and challenges in military C2. It examines the evolution of C2 approaches from centralized to more distributed models, driven by factors such as technological advancements, the complexity of the battle space, and the need for adaptability. The paper discusses the role of information systems, situational awareness and risk assessment, communication networks, decision support tools in enhancing C2 capabilities. It also highlights issues around interpretability, resilience, and the integration of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and the role of all level military commanders. The analysis draws on case studies and empirical research to identify best practices and areas for further improvement in military C2. The findings aim to inform military leaders, policy makers, and system designers on strategies to strengthen command and control for future military operations.
