During Operation Desert Storm, the senior U.S. Marine
Headquarters used a Local Area Network for command and
control. Despite some limitations, the network was largely a
success. The opportunities for employing the network to a
greater extent for command and control are extensive. This
requires careful examination of the functions of command and
control and the capabilities of the system. Matching
functional requirements to system capabilities will lead to
optimum employment. Development of doctrine to use the
network, education on how to use it, and improvements in its
capability are all necessary. This technology is but one
example of the available information technologies that must be
harnessed for Marine Corps command and control to provide
effective support to combat forces. A mechanism must be
established for the Marine Corps to focus the efforts of
experienced Marine leaders, information technology developers,
and Fleet Marine Force system users to forge the vital link
between our combat systems — command and control.
