Using the vision for enhanced C2 provided in the updated architecture developed as a companion piece to this analysis, we identify and describe where shortfalls or major gaps exist between current ACS processes (the AS-IS) and the vision for integrating enhanced ACS processes into Air Force C2 (the TO-BE). We evaluate C2 nodes from the level of the President and Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) to the units and sources of supply. We also evaluate these nodes across the operational phases, from readiness preparation through planning, deployment, employment, sustainment, and reconstitution.Command and control systemsUnited StatesMilitary planningUnited StatesCommand and control systemsMilitary planning355.330410973Lynch Kristin F.1242793Drew John G.1956-Tripp Robert S.1944-Romano Daniel M.Yi Jin WooMaletic Amy L.Project Air Force (U.S.)BOOK9910220116803321Implementation actions for improving Air Force command and control through enhanced agile combat support planning, execution, monitoring, and control processes2882898UNINA
