Abstract
Abstract : Many senior military leaders have declared that communication is an integral part of modern warfare, yet express dismay at perceived failures in influencing the global public of recent operational merits. This paper explores Strategic Communication (SC) within the DOD by surveying current challenges facing military communication capabilities (MCC) including doctrinal inhibitors and their impact on the SC process, operational planning and desired outcomes. This paper will also survey professional and academic communication models, and propose a contemporary military communication process (model) that integrates and facilitates each MCC in the operational planning process.
