Across Army, there is a wide range of trades, specialties and career pathways, and for many it can be a long time between opportunities to practise and enhance our tactical skills. For those not actively involved in combat roles, often the only opportunity to intensively practise all-corps tactical skills are career courses, and it can often be around five years between those courses. Understandably, there is a lot of skill fade that can occur if you don't practise these skills or create chances to refresh your knowledge.

This video produced by the Army Learning Production Centre (ALPC), provides a comprehensive explanation of the Command & Control Battlespace Operating System (C2 BOS). It explores the following:

  • The C2 BOS components
  • The effects of the C2 BOS
  • The concepts of command and control
  • C2 BOS capabilities
  • Counter C2
  • The application of the C2 BOS

The information contained in this video will better prepare you to assign C2 relationships, produce a TASKORG matrix, assign subordinate groupings, missions & tasks, and design control measures to orchestrate the battle.

Watch the video to refresh your knowledge on the C2 BOS in order to assist you with your next TEWT, and take a look at our other videos in this series to examine each of the individual BOS' in more detail.
