  20. What is the Function of our TOC • A command post is a unit headquarters where the commander and staff perform their activities. It is often divided into echelons. • CPs are the principal facilities commanders use to control operations. • Effective CPs enable commanders to make decisions faster than the enemy. FM6-0

  22. CSE S4 OPS NCO BIC BTL CPT Change S1 S2 BTL NCO

  23. ALOC Change

  24. The Staff Staffs exist to help the commander make and implement decisions. Staff organizations and procedures are structured to meet the Commander’s Critical Information Requirements (CCIR). The CDR and his staff focus on recognizing and anticipating battlefield activities in order to decide and act faster than the enemy / situation. All staff organizations and procedures exist to make the organization, analysis, and presentation of vast amounts of information manageable for the commander.

  25. Six TOC FunctionsHow are we doing? EFFECTIVE IMPROVING NEED WORK SIX TOC FUNCTIONS • 1. RECEIVE INFORMATION • 2. ANALYZE INFORMATION • 3. SUBMIT RECOMMENDATIONS • 4. DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION • 5. INTEGRATE RESOURCES • 6. SYNCHRONIZE RESOURCES

  27. TOC Battle Tracking D-22. Once the BSTB has deployed into an area and is conducting missions, the BSTB TOC maintains a current status, including of all of its subordinate and attached units. This includes personnel, location, and logistics. The ability to track the availability of resources also enhances its ability to provide the necessary security for the BCT main CP, the BSTB TOC, and to provide assets to the BCT for successful accomplishment of operations elsewhere in the BCT AO.

  32. Below The Line

  33. War Gaming vs. Combined Arms Rehearsal Combined Arms Rehearsal War Gaming • The subordinate units plans are synchronized with the other units in the organization • The plans of all subordinate commander’s will properly achieve the intent of the higher commander. • Key CS/CSS plans must be included: casualty evacuation routes, AXPs, refuel points, Class IV/V resupply points, logistics release points, displacement times/locations/triggers for the BSA, EPW collection points. • -Attempts to visualize the flow of the operation given: • FF strengths and dispositions • ENY capabilities and possible COAs • impact and requirements of civilians in the AO • -Simplest form of war gaming is the manual method, often utilizing a tabletop approach with blowups of matrices and templates.

  35. Information Management (Tactical) CDR When and how do I interface with my commander? What needs to go to higher? What decisions must I make? What needs to go back down? What info do I need to make decisions? XO/S3Staff What reports do I need? Where do I give guidance? What working groups do I need? What’s our battle rhythm? S6 What IM / KM tools do we have/need? What Info Assurance (IA) policies must we follow?

  37. 6 Basic Functions of a CP 1. Receive information 2. Distribute information 3. Analyze information 4. Submit recommendations to the commander 5. Integrate resources 6. Synchronize resources CP Functions in a Coin Environment – What’s Different? HIC Operations COIN Operations 1. Information collection/management focused by targeting requirements 2. Information distribution may involve NGO’s, international forces, and other members outside TF & CO/TM 3. Analysis is a product of collective TF effort involving more than the S-2 4. Submit recommendations to the commander 5. Integration involves NGO’s, contractors, interpreters, etc. 6. Synchronize resources 1. Information collection focused primarily on enemy operations 2. Information distribution revolves primarily to HHQ and subordinate units 3. Analysis techniques covered by BOS elements 4. Submit recommendations to the commander 5. Integration involves primarily U.S. (organic to DIV) forces 6. Synchronize resources BOTTOM LINE: Same functions, different focus!

  38. TOC Operations To ensure that information is provided to the commander in an efficient and timely manner, periodic update briefs or shift change briefs are conducted. Conducting command shift change or update briefings accomplishes more than just providing the commander a snapshot of current battalion status. Briefings provide a point in time and place for all staff sections to assemble and ensure that everyone is informed with the same situational understanding. FM 3-90.61

  39. Common Operating Picture Whatever the age or technology, the key to effective C2 is people using information to decide and to act wisely. Whatever the age or technology, the ultimate criterion of C2 success is always the same: acting faster and more effectively than the enemy to accomplish the mission at the least cost to the friendly force before the enemy can effectively act.

  43. Control and the Staff 1-15. Success in command is impossible without control. Within command and control, control is the regulation of forces and battlefield operating systems to accomplish the mission in accordance with the commander’s intent. It includes collecting, processing, displaying, storing, and disseminating relevant information for creating the common operational picture, and using information, primarily by the staff, during the operations process. Control allows commanders to disseminate their commander’s intent, execute decisions, and adjust their operations to reflect changing reality and enemy actions. It allows commanders to modify their commander’s visualization to account for changing circumstances. Control also allows commanders to identify times and points requiring new decisions during preparation and execution. FM 6-0, Mission Command: Command and Control of Army Forces, Aug 2003
