C2serves as the center of gravity for joint and all-domainoperations, and it is the key to achieving a decisive systemicadvantage.In warfare,the importance of Command andControl is simply unparalleled by any other activity. C2 is not static; it is continually shaped by factors suchas politics, economics, technology, and the scale of warfare.Technological advancement, in particular, has accelerated thisevolution,giving rise to new domains and novel combatcapabilities,epitomizedbyintelligentandautonomoussystems. Consequently, the subjects and objects of C2, itselemental structure,technical means,andsystemicmorphology are all facing fundamental changes, and the entirefield is undergoing a profound transformation. This evolutionfollows a clear trajectory: from centralized Command andControl formed by hierarchical organizations, to edgeCommand and Control enabled by frontline autonomouscollaboration. It demonstrates an evolutionary process of'Centralization→Distribution-Self-Organization→Agility'. Early human organizational forms were predominantlycentralized, characterized by authoritarian,hierarchical, andpyramid-like structures, which Max Weber summarized as theburcaucratic modcl.This rcprcscnted a rigorous, cfficicnt, andprecise organizational system wherein command units andaction units were strictly separated. A hierarchical relationshipof command wasestablishedbetween superiorsandsubordinates: the former were responsible for policy-makingwith the authority to direct, supervise, and command, whilethe latter were obligated to faithfully execute superiors' ordersaccording to bureaucratic rules. The centralized Commandand Control that evolved from these organizations wasconsequently a top-down approach. It proved highly effectivefor resolving static problems and those with low uncertainty,was skillfully employed by commanders over the long term,and eventually became a paradigm. However, with changes inthenatureofwarfare,theemergenceofuncertainenvironments, and a growing trend toward decentralization.the deficiencies of the centralized C2 paradigm becameincreasingly apparent. Decentralized edge Command andControl emerged to compensate for these shortcomings. Thismethod of C2 is a typical form of self-organization andrepresents a bottom-up approach. It exhibits characteristics such as autonomous tasking,self-organization,autonomousaction, and self-adaptation. This report focuses on Edge Command and Control(Edgc C2), a ncw paradigm in C2, analyzing its contcmporarycontext, conceptual meaning, and implementation pathways,while also proposing research recommendations. The report iscomposed of four parts: Part One introduces the contemporarycontext for Edge C2 and presents observations and reflectionson the"Rise of the Edge" phenomenon,Part Two outlines theconceptual meaning of Edge C2, including its definition,essential characteristics,process model, and principles ofvictory.Part Three analyzes the implementation pathways forEdge C2,elaboratingfrom four aspects of commandmethods.network-information support, open sharing, and collaborationrules. Part Four proposes related research questions coveringareas such as organizational design, autonomous collaboration,and Command and Control support systems. This report was planned and organized by ZhangWeiming and Zhu Cheng, with Zhu Cheng serving as the leadauthor.
