The increasing volume of information available to the Joint Force Commander (JFC) has resulted in the possibility that the JFC may be overloaded with information. Our technological advances, which have enabled this phenomenal ability to amass and disseminate information, have outpaced our development of doctrine for its handling. An existing piece of doctrine, the CCIR, can be employed in such a manner as to permit the JFC to impose a sense of order on the chaotic information environment. Using CCIR, the JFC can organize an operation from planning to execution with a concise and adaptable format for interpreting the information (and intelligence). The staff can, likewise, organize itself according to the CCIR (and its updates) in order to keep abreast of the JFC's priorities. We must not be fooled by our own technology and seek a solution to this problem that is merely technical. The solution is a method, simple and concise - and it is available now: CCIR.
