Battle command
open-in-new
<p>Battle command (BC) is the discipline of visualizing, describing, directing, and leading forces in operations against a hostile, thinking, and adaptive enemy. Battle command applies leadership to translate decision into actions, by synchronizing forces and warfighting functions in time, space, and purpose, to accomplish missions. Battle command refers both to processes triggered by <a href="/facts/Commander/0AASADmo">commanders</a> and executed by <a href="/facts/Soldiers/f3tcRU9C">soldiers</a> and to the <a href="/facts/System_of_systems/6cp3tlKF">system of systems</a> (SoS) that directly enables those processes. </p>
