    Philip Gommesen
    Command and control (C2) involves the exercise of authority and direction over military forces through a designated commander. It includes both the process of planning, executing, and monitoring operations, as well as the systems that facilitate these functions. C2 aims to achieve air and space superiority, information superiority, and precision engagement through centralized control of air and space forces. Key C2 weapons systems include satellites, unmanned and manned aircraft, and command centers. During D-Day in 1943, the Allied air commander aimed to restrict German troop movements in support of the ground invasion, despite facing pressure and weather challenges.

    In 1943, Leigh-Mallory was appointed Commander-in-chief of the Allied Expeditionary Air Forces for the Normandy invasion His primary concern was sealing off the battlefield and restricting and disrupting the movement of German military units. Came under political pressure to limit the effects of attacks on French civilians. His approach put him at odds with many airmen who were willing only to stretch to minimum support of the ground forces. Despite bad weather, his air plan succeeded in greatly slowing the mobilization of the German Army
