Assessment of Command and Control organization structures based on confrontation analysis

This article represents the recent advances in our program about the design and assessment of the C2 organization structure. In the past research, we assessed the hierarchical C2 organization structures with its reactivity and cooperation efficiency based on the untested hypothesis that a military organization with a good C2 structure can respond to tasks quickly and form the required effective cooperating group units. However, there are some problems that rationality, validity and completeness of evaluation index lack analytical basis. By deep analysis we have found that the high-strength confrontation is the essential element in C2 activities and it is the primary goal of C2 organizations to defeat the enemies efficiently in human recognition domain. Firstly, a new C2 activities descriptive model is presented which is explained in detail in another paper. Then, the method of C2 organization structures assessment and the measurement indexes is explained. Finally, our current work and the future working plan are presented in the conclusion.
