Title: Empirically-driven Analysis for Model-driven Experimentation: From Lab to Sea and Back Again (Part 1) Suggested Track: C2 Concepts and Organizations, C2 Analysis, Lessons Learned Authors:

The Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) is a versatile military organization, designed to effectively handle missions as diverse as air warfare, tactical ballistic missile defense, and maritime interdiction operations. Over the past several years, ESG organizations have allocated command responsibilities in several ways, each permutation affecting organizational dynamics. The Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) program has been using model-based experimentation to investigate the congruence of organizational structure with mission requirements. The ESG provides an opportunity to apply the principles developed in previous A2C2 research to a rapidly evolving operational organization. Relevant doctrine and case studies were reviewed, current operational personnel were interviewed, an
