Earlier this year, at the request of ACT, the NATO Command and Control Center of Excellence looked at Multi-Domain C2 (MDC2) to pursue and refine a NATO-wide accepted definition.
If C2COE recommends on whether ACT should pursue the concept of “Multi-Domain C2” within NATO: In 5 – 10 years, a NATO commanding officer will be able to seamlessly integrate into a complex, layered OE with a strict focus on how they fit into the system in relation to other known entities, who they support, and who supports them. Their understanding is of those military actors, and non-military actors involved in achieving effects under a common shared situational understanding of mission objectives and their commander’s intent whilst adhering to an adaptive C2 structure.
