Abstract
Throughout history, the ability to command and control military forces has been a critical component of success. In military operations today, this requirement is hampered and complicated by a myriad of factors, including evolving technology, diversity of forces, geographical division, and dynamic threats. In now days planning staff and their commander are responsible for the success of any operation or tactical action. Years ago George Marshall esteemed innate qualities [common sense, professional knowledge, physical fitness and stamina, loyalty, determination, optimism, and the ability to work within a group].” is this enough now and what is new that is needed? Planning as part of the operational process still have their place in whole scope of military successful operations and tactical activities.
