指挥控制(Command and Control,C2)是一支部队的灵魂,也是任何军事力量的核心要素。这一概念术语的出现是工业时代机械化战争的产物,尽管其重要地位在军事领域无可替代,但这一概念在军事领域的统治地位仅仅是昙花一现,很快被淹没在信息化战场令人眼花缭乱的新概念术语(如C3,C^3I,C^4ISR等)中。尽管如此,直到今天关于C2本质的理解仍然是所有作战系统设计与使用的起点和依据,同样,C2变革也是新军事变革的核心内容。考证了C2相关概念术语的起源与演化历史,通过考证建立了C2相关术语的演化图,分析了军事指挥学的发展规律。
Command and Control (C2) is spirit of army unit,and is also the core factor of any military force. This term appears in industry age, and is the product of mechanized warfare. Though the importance can't be replaced in the field of military, the dominate standing of this term is only like the morning dew,and soon is submerged in those new terms (C3,C^3I,C^4ISR et al) in information age. Nevertheless, the essence of command and control are still starts and basis for all combat systems, and is also the core contents of new military transformation. Textual research on C2's origin and evolution is explored,on which we advanced the path of C2 development and the law of military command discipline.
