Complexity Quantification in Warfighting Symbology and Potential Mitigation Measures

The most important role the commander plays in any Army unit, According to FM 6-0 Mission Command and Control of Army Forces, is that of combining the art of command with the science of control. This is accomplished through visualizing the battlespace, describing this visualization to subordinate leaders, directing actions to reach the intended end state, and leading subordinates to accomplish the given mission. One critical component of this visualization is the warfighting symbology promulgated in MIL-STD 2525. In this study, the complexity of these symbols will be investigated as well as the addition of mitigation measures to the process by which warfighting symbols are added to MIL-STD 2525.
