Conscious Command Decision

A conscious command decision is made in a calculated or methodical manner, generally based on education, training, and experience combined with a mental process to achieve an objective. An example of a conscious command decision would be deciding on a concept of operations.

Forms of Command and Control

Command and control systems are used in many different applications throughout the military. The three most common forms are

1. Conscious command decision
2. Preconditioned reactions
3. Rules-based procedures

Part of the Mystical Body

It was not for societies or states that Christ died, but for men. In that sense Christianity must seem to secular collectivists to involve an almost frantic assertion of individuality. But then it is not the individual as such who will share Christ's victory over death. We shall share the victory in being the Victor. A rejection, or in Scripture's strong language, a crucifixion of the natural self is the passport to everlasting life. Nothing that has not died will be resurrected... There lies the maddening ambiguity of our faith as it must appear to outsiders. It sets its face relentlessly against our natural individualism; on the other hand, it gives back to those who abandon individualism an eternal possession of their own personal being, even if their bodies. As mere biological entities, each with its separate will to live and to expand, we are apparently of no account; we are cross-fodder. But as organs in the Body of Christ, as stones and pillars in the temple, we are assured of our eternal self-identity and shall live to remember the galaxies as an old tale #CSLewis

The Primary Sin

Traditional doctrine points to a sin against God, an act of disobedience, not a sin against the neighbour. And certainly, if we are to hold the doctrine of the Fall in any real sense, we must look for the great sin on a deeper and more timeless level than that of social morality #CSLewis

Marine Air Ground Task Force

Retention of operational control of its air is important to the Corp' air ground team, as air constitutes a significant part of its offensive power

when a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right #CSLewis
