What is the Function of our TOC

• A command post is a unit headquarters where the commander and staff perform their activities. It is often divided into echelons.

• CPs are the principal facilities commanders use to control operations.

• Effective CPs enable commanders to make decisions faster than the enemy.

D-22. Once the BSTB has deployed into an area and is conducting missions, the BSTB TOC maintains a current status, including of all of its subordinate and attached units. This includes personnel, location, and logistics.

The ability to track the availability of resources also enhances its ability to provide the necessary security for the BCT main CP, the BSTB TOC, and to provide assets to the BCT for successful accomplishment of operations elsewhere in the BCT AO.

War Gaming vs. Combined Arms Rehearsal

-Attempts to visualize the flow of the operation given:• FF strengths and dispositions• ENY capabilities and possible COAs• impact and requirements of civilians in the AO

-Simplest form of war gaming is the manual method, often utilizing a tabletop approach with blowups of matrices and templates.

War Gaming• The subordinate units plans are synchronized with the other

units in the organization

• The plans of all subordinate commander’s will properly achieve the intent of the higher commander.

• Key CS/CSS plans must be included: casualty evacuation routes, AXPs, refuel points, Class IV/V resupply points, logistics release points, displacement times/locations/triggers for the BSA, EPW collection points.

CP Functions in a Coin Environment – What’s Different?6 Basic Functions of a CP

1. Receive information2. Distribute information3. Analyze information4. Submit recommendations to the

commander5. Integrate resources6. Synchronize resources

HIC Operations COIN Operations1. Information collection/management

focused by targeting requirements2. Information distribution may involve

NGO’s, international forces, and other members outside TF & CO/TM

3. Analysis is a product of collective TF effort involving more than the S-2

4. Submit recommendations to the commander

5. Integration involves NGO’s, contractors, interpreters, etc.

6. Synchronize resources

1. Information collection focused primarily on enemy operations

2. Information distribution revolves primarily to HHQ and subordinate units

3. Analysis techniques covered by BOS elements

4. Submit recommendations to the commander

5. Integration involves primarily U.S. (organic to DIV) forces

6. Synchronize resourcesBOTTOM LINE: Same functions, different focus!


UNCLASSIFIED

To ensure that information is provided to the commander in an efficient and timely manner, periodic update briefs or shift change briefs are conducted. Conducting command shift change or update briefings accomplishes more than just providing the commander a snapshot of current battalion status.

Briefings provide a point in time and place for all staff sections to assemble and ensure that everyone is informed with the same situational understanding. FM 3-90.61

TOC Operations


UNCLASSIFIED

Whatever the age or technology, the key to effective C2 is people using information to decide and to act wisely.

Whatever the age or technology, the ultimate criterion of C2 success is always the same: acting faster and more effectively than the enemy to accomplish the mission at the least cost to the friendly force before the enemy can effectively act.

1-15. Success in command is impossible without control. Within commandand control, control is the regulation of forces and battlefield operatingsystems to accomplish the mission in accordance with the commander’sintent. It includes collecting, processing, displaying, storing, and disseminating relevant information for creating the common operational picture, and using information, primarily by the staff, during the operations process. Control allows commanders to disseminate their commander’s intent, execute decisions, and adjust their operations to reflect changing reality and enemy actions. It allows commanders to modify their commander’s visualization to account for changing circumstances. Control also allows commanders to identify times and points requiring new decisions during preparation and execution.
