Are threefold, английский
[1] aerial and surface combat, to destroy enemy naval forces. [2] blockade, to neutralize enemy naval and merchant shipping, by confining them to their ports, or destroying them if they venture forth. [3] amphibious operations, when necessary to invade enemy territory. in the 21st century, all three are increasingly dependent on the command of space. [4] another possibility, attempted by germany in both world wars, is to mount a guerre de course.
Command and control, английский
[1] this phrase has long been used generically to describe the exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned forces for the accomplishment of a mission. [2] recently, it has acquired the specific meaning of a data system for the direction of tactical, strategic, or combat activities in “real time” as is demanded by the speed of 21st century warfare. a commander in the field or at sea uses such a system as the tool to direct and coordinate forces in order to accomplish the assigned mission and cope with the inevitable uncertainties of battle. the more remote from the scene of action, the more dependant he or she is on communications. the activity is usually abbreviated c2, but has recently been referred to as c3 (c2 plus communications) or even as c4i (adding computers and intelligence). these additions seem superfluous because without accurate information and speedy data processing, no commander can make meaningful decisions; without rapid, effective, and dependable communication he or she is unable to pass timely instructions to subordinates; and without some form of feedback from those subordinates effective control is impossible.
