Command and Control Research
EBR is a key player in the field of command and control (C2). The Research and Development Operations Program supports a major technical command and control research program designed to undertake initiatives to improve the state of the art and practice of C2. To this end, EBR is supporting four types of applications: (1) conduct of symposia/knowledge engineering; (2) development of evaluation methodologies; (3) experiments and war games; and (4) collection of data. During this ongoing effort (now in its tenth year), EBR has supported numerous workshops and symposia all over the world and published dozens of original books on subjects such as peacekeeping, coalition and joint operations, and military transformation.

Military Futures
The Military Futures Team researches, studies, and analyzes critical decision-making activities occurring within the military and related sectors. Past efforts have allowed us to realize our goal of becoming a niche provider in C2 and Net-centric operations studies, research, and analysis. Our vision for the future is to maintain, nurture, and grow these areas, while expanding into interesting and new realms when appropriate.

Transformation and Experimentation
The Transformation and Experimentation (T&E) group of the Military Studies Division focuses on research related to the development of Network Centric Operations (NCO) and the successful implementation of NCO. The team examines such issues as understanding the military decision making process, transformation within the military context, and how people in groups make decisions. The team looks at the combination of networks, technology, collaboration, and communication, and how all of these aspects contribute to operations. More specifically, the T & E group hopes to educate the Defense community and allies in the scope, benefits, and utility of NCO principles. The goal of the T & E group is to support the revolution of the military force and culture from the bottom up through the use of experimentation, transformational articles, and the creation and sharing of new knowledge and experiences.

The method of conducting this work is threefold. First, the T & E group conducts case study research and experimentation founded upon a synthesis of observations, insights, and findings from various research activities and combat engagements. Second, the T & E group develops educational resources including material, knowledge bases, and educational initiatives designed to further enhance the understanding and implementation of NCO technologies and practices within the broader DOD community. Third, the T & E group supports efforts in applying NCO attributes and metrics to the Sense and Respond Logistics effort in hopes to apply this revised logistics foundation to the broader DOD community.
