In the current United States joint command and control structure, rotary assets from all services are inadequately involved in integrated planning, integrated operations, and collectively unable to achieve unity of effort. Based on the tenets of operational command and control by Milan Vego, across all services, the United States helicopter forces fare lacking operational command and control. In this paper I provide specific examples of three major failures of our current joint command and control structure, integrated operations, integrated planning, and unity of effort indicating a breakdown in operational command and control. After identifying these failures, I propose that a new joint command similar to the British Joint Helicopter Command (JHC) is a feasible option to resolve these failures.
