Command & Control of Canadian Aerospace Forces: Conceptual Foundations By Dr. Allan English.

Effective command and control (C2) is essential to the successful conduct of military and integrated operations and especially to the application of aerospace power. However, in much of the current C2 doctrine, the terms “command,” “control” and “command and control” are not defined clearly or are defined in ways that fail to
provide practical help to military professionals in the exercise of command or in the design of command arrangements. Some of the confusion is due to the fact that, as is explained in Canadian Forces leadership doctrine, the “inter-relationships and interconnectedness of command, management, and leadership functions often make it
difficult to disentangle the command, management, and leadership effects achieved by individuals in positions of authority.” Due to this lack of clarity, the terms command, management, and leadership are sometimes used interchangeably. Nevertheless, the interconnectedness of leadership and command is such that leadership is “an essential role requirement for commanders;” therefore, that interconnectedness is reflected in this publication. to continue reading this publication follow this link http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/CFAWC/eLibrary/pubs/C2_Conceptual_Foundations.pdf
