Airborne Command
Airborne Command refers to a military strategy where command and control functions are conducted from an aircraft, allowing leaders to oversee operations from a mobile platform. This approach enhances situational awareness and decision-making capabilities during missions, especially in dynamic environments.
Typically, Airborne Command involves specialized aircraft, such as the E-3 Sentry or E-8 Joint STARS, equipped with advanced communication and surveillance systems. These aircraft enable commanders to coordinate forces on the ground and in the air, ensuring effective responses to evolving threats and challenges in real-time.
