  Generating and Applying Combat Power
  If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know
  Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.
  Sun Tzu
  Army forces integrate capabilities and synchronize warfighting functions to generate
  combat power and apply it against enemy forces. Successful application of combat
  power requires leaders to understand the enemy and understand friendly capabilities.
  A broad understanding of the strategicenvironment and threat methods provides a basis
  for understanding specific enemy situations. Leaders must understand how Army
  forces enable joint operations through multiple domains and the basic roles of Army
  echelons. They must also understand how the joint force enables the Army to integrate
  capabilities through all domains to generate more effective landpower.
  WARFIGHTING FUNCTIONS
  A warfighting functionis a group of tasks and systems united by a common purpose that commanders
  use to accomplish missions and training objectives (ADP 3-0). The warfighting functions are—
  (cid:122) Command and control(C2).
  (cid:122) Movement and maneuver.
  (cid:122) Intelligence.
  (cid:122) Fires.
  (cid:122) Sustainment.
  (cid:122) Protection.
  The purpose of warfighting functions is to provide an intellectual organization for common critical
  capabilities available to commanders and staffs at all echelons and levels of war. Warfighting functions are
  not confined to single domain, and they typically include capabilities from multiple domains. Warfighting
  functions are not branch specific. Although some branches, staff sections, and types of units have a role or
  purpose that mainly aligns with a warfighting function, each warfighting function is relevant to all types of
  units.
  THE COMMAND AND CONTROLWARFIGHTING FUNCTION
  The command and control warfighting function is the related tasks and a system that enable
  commanders to synchronize and converge all elements of combat power (ADP 3-0).The primary purpose of
  the C2warfighting function is to assist commanders in integrating the other warfighting functions (movement
  and maneuver, intelligence, fires, sustainment, and protection) effectively at each echelon, and to apply
  combat power to achieve objectives and accomplish missions.
  The C2 system includespeople, processes, networks, and command posts. All elements of the system
  are critical in supporting effective decision making and the tempo required to defeat enemy forces. C2
  supports the creation and exploitation of information advantages through the activities of developing
  situational understanding, decision making, and operating networks.
  C2synchronizes the systems and capabilities that comprise the other warfighting functions. Strategy,
