This work evaluates the Department of Defense as a command,
control, and communications (C3) system. The DoD is considered
as the black box into which input is received from the President
and the output is the actions taken by the nested C3 systems,
such as the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, the
Services, and the operational commands. To evaluate the DoD,
the evolution of the DoD, the current organization, and earlier
reorganizational studies were researched. The DoD was examined
to determine if the weak points stated within the studies still
exist and, if so, what should be done. In order to design and
field C3 systems adequately for the DoD, it must be designed
so its lines of command and communications are clear and distinct
and the nested systems are combined in the most effective
way. A well-designed DoD will reduce the costs and the time
to field a C3 system. The conclusion of the paper is that the
DoD needs to be reorganized. A plan is presented which provides
an organizational structure to eliminate the weak points
within the DoD.
