Congratulations to RRANZ Alumni Julian Reweti
Each year RRANZ through its MoU with the Australasian Institute of Emergency Services nominates amazing emergency managers for an award. This year Julian Reweti received a commendation in recognition of his commitment to supporting New Zealand communities in their recovery from disaster. Julian works tirelessly to share his knowledge and experience in support of the people of New Zealand. Well done Julian and we look forward to the presentation occurring in coming months.
Command and Control and the Future
Dave has been exploring the theme of Command and Control and the Future. Check out his reading recommendations below.
Emotional and Social Intelligence Competencies in Incident Command
Effective wildland fire leadership operations require paying careful attention to the fire itself and to relationships both internal and external to the incident. Incident commanders (IC) must blend technical skills with relationship management, motivation, and negotiation abilities. Known as emotional and social intelligence (ESI), these competencies have been found to predict outstanding leadership across various professions. This article presents the first study of ESI in wildland fire management and its implications for training and development programs.
The Future of C2 - Agility, Focus and Convergence: The Future of Command and Control
The future of command and control is not Command and Control. In fact, the term Command and Control has become a significant impediment to progress. This paper presents and discusses key terms that form the core of a new conceptual foundation; one that can provide a point of departure for the systematic exploration of future “command and control.”
Agile Command and Control Insights Paper
This Insights Paper presents key themes relating to recent and projected developments in the technologies that enable Agile Command and Control (Agile C2) and their implications. In particular, this paper seeks to draw out the many implications for the Australian Defence Force(ADF)’s future warfighters – the people – who these technologies will support.
Trust in AI: Rethinking Future Command
This paper builds on the premise that trust at all levels (operators, commanders, political leaders and the public) is essential to the effective adoption of AI for military decision-making and explores key related questions. What does trust in AI actually entail? How can it be built and sustained in support of military decision-making? What changes are needed for a symbiotic relationship between human operators and artificial agents for future command?
Command and Control in the Future - Grappling with Complexity
The first in a series of four papers examining how Command and Control (C2) will manifest in the future. This first paper sets a baseline for the subsequent research by exploring the future operating environment in which C2 systems will need to operate in the future.
