ABSTRACT
The Command Post of the Future refers to the projects, in a number of countries, aimed at designing new arrangements for command and control using the possibilities offered by the developments in information technology. This chapter discusses the general characteristics of the ROLF 2010 concept. ROLF 2010 is a Swedish acronym standing for "Mobile, Joint Operational Command and Control Function for the year 2010". It is, perhaps, important to mention that the ROLF 2010 project is only concerned with the command post. How, and in what form, information enters the command post are not problems for ROLF 2010 project. The command post should be designed to support this interaction and make it as efficient as possible, and ensure that the commander and his staff have the requisite variety for the task. The command post can be augmented by deploying a number of identical containers with different functions.
