The U.S. Air Force has faced significant challenges in its recent operations. Forces have been called into action around the globe on short timelines that allow for neither adequate training or planning, while Air Operations Centers providing theater command and control (C2) have been built on the fly as forces are deployed to each contingency. This paper describes the organization of the C2 force element supporting the Air Force component commander, presents comments and criticisms from senior commanders and top Department of Defense officials regarding the Air Force's ability to command and control airpower in recent operations, and describes new capabilities the theater C2 units need to employ aerospace forces to their greatest effect before and during theater combat operations. The authors find that C2 systems and procedures (1) should be designed as part of a comprehensive concept, (2) must be useful for the various training-related tasks, (3) allow for and facilitate continuous improvements, and (4) be thoroughly evaluated and practiced by the commander and staff.

This study analyzes the book, Command and Control of Theater Forces: Adequacy, by John H. Cushman. Cushman's thesis is that our theater command and control systems are seriously deficient, due primarily to a flawed requirements and acquisition process. This study provides a synopsis of Cushman's specific criticisms and analyzes them in terms of other sources and recent developments. The study concludes Cushman's book raises some valid points, though recent developments such as JCS reform are potential solutions.

For more than forty years NATO premised its defence on credible nuclear deterrence. Underwriting this deterrence was NATO's strategy and the nuclear weapons and command and control systems intended to make the strategy an operational reality. This book examines NATO's attempts between 1952 and 1990 to achieve the political and military control of nuclear weapons operations in a multinational organisation. By using case-studies of US, British, French and NATO nuclear weapons operations and empirical evidence from Cold War crises it provides an analysis of NATO's experience and offers insights for the present day.

The communications system required to support theater air operations between 1975 and 1985 will differ, in several fundamental areas, from the current military tactical systems and from those planned for support of the ground forces during this period. These differences present problems in communications system management that can be overcome by adopting new techniques of system engineering and planning, operational system control, and facilities control. These techniques include new ways of establishing a network, controlling its connectivity during the various phases of a military operation, balancing the traffic through the network, and minimizing the outages caused by local equipment failures. Automated SYSCON (System Control) is recommended where its contribution to overall system performance is greater than that achievable by an equivalent increase in communications equipment. To assure that an adequate communications control system is available in time to support the 485L program, the Air Force should functionally model theater air system control by assembling a facility using present-day commercial equivalents of the required SYSCON equipment.
