Abstract
Mission command and command and control are not separate processes that commanders must choose between. Mission command is the approach, or the way the Army has chosen to perform command and control functions. Mission command leverages all competent leaders across the battlefield with a shared understanding of the mission and the commander’s intent to exercise disciplined initiative to accomplish missions. Mission command does not relinquish a commander’s authority, it is a philosophy of pushing the authority down to enable subordinate leaders. But, mission command must be trained.
