Provide operational support, training, education, oversight, guidance, analysis, and technology integration to enable commanders, forces, and individuals to prevent, prepare for, and respond to isolating events across all phases of operations.

The DCGS-A enables commanders to task battlespace sensors and receive intelligence information from multiple sources.

This doctrine was developed to use information superiority to equip warfighters with more precise information enabling commanders and shooters to make smarter decisions faster.

The AN contributes to Network Centric Warfare by enabling commanders to provide real-time information to warfighters in the air and on the ground.
