Publisher: Command and Control Research Program (CCRP)

The Command and Control Research Program (CCRP) within the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense (NII) focuses upon (1) improving both the 
state of the art and the state of the practice of command and control 
and (2) enhancing DoD's understanding of the national security 
implications of the Information Age. It provides "Out of the Box" 
thinking and explores ways to help DoD take full advantage of 
Information Age opportunities. The CCRP bridges the operational and 
technical communities and enhances the body of knowledge and research 
infrastructure needed for future progress.

This internationally directed and peer reviewed publication presents 
articles written by authors from all over the world in many diverse 
fields of Command and Control (C2) such as systems, human factors, 
experimentation, and operations.

The Journal focuses on publishing original archival papers that 
communicate new conceptual insights, design approaches, and experimental 
findings in the C2 field, encompassing organization, doctrine, and 
systems.  The Journal encourages interdisciplinary aspects of C2.

In using the term command and control, the Journal does not limit its 
focus to either the military or the kinds of hierarchical command 
structures traditionally associated with strictly military 
organizations. It includes activities such as disaster relief, 
peacekeeping, humanitarian aid, and other endeavors that entail 
collaboration and coordination between disparate organizations (military 
and otherwise).

Accordingly, the Journal recognizes the importance of scholarship in 
academic fields such as management, organization, sociology, cognitive 
psychology, behavioral decision making, complex adaptive systems, 
strategy and others. Indeed, because the study of C2 is inherently 
multidisciplinary, the Journal welcomes contributions that cross, blend, 
and integrate various interdisciplinary threads. Further, the Journal 
recognizes that a variety of research methods offer potential to 
contribute new knowledge to our understanding of C2.

It welcomes both theoretical and empirical research, using accepted and 
applicable analytical, computational, laboratory, and field research 
methods.

The Journal will also feature Special Issues consisting of carefully 
prepared papers all designed to address a single topic or theme.

The Journal is overseen by an Editorial Board comprising representatives 
from many nations with Dr. David S. Alberts serving as Chairman.
