    The climate fostered by AFHQ leadership significantly contributed to the disjointedness and confusion in very linear environment and opposed by an inferior force. Command and control and integration shortcomings may not as easily be overcome in the increasingly complex and uncertain environment within which joint forces will operate today. Current doctrine has captured the hard-earned lessons from HUSKY and mitigates many of the issues encountered in that campaign. For example, land, air, and maritime forces do not operate autonomously but instead are integrated into joint force component commands (JFLCC, JFACC, and JFMCC) under a joint force commander. Best practices such as mission command and integration of joint functions are essential for the Joint Force to fight and win in today’s operating…

    Again, a more concise and structured chain of command would have mitigated much confusion and disorder. Allowing a clearly defined ground force commander and air commander working in concert would have been the most advantageous approach to this operation.

Lieutenant General Moseley should’ve had a clear line of contact with a single ground forces commander.…
