: Simulation-based training is using increasingly complex synthetic forces. As more complex multiechelon synthetic forces are employed in simulations, the need for a realistic model of their command and control behavior becomes more urgent. In this paper we discuss one key component of such a model, the autonomous generation and use of priority intelligence requirements within multi-echelon plans. 1. Introduction Command and control (C2) is an increasingly distributed and dynamic enterprise. In a modern campaign, distributed sensing platforms provide up-to-date situation monitoring, allowing distributed command--and control elements to plan and respond effectively to rapidly evolving situations. These innovations provide dramatic benefits, but they raise significant challenges both in training staff members to realize the system's potential, and in supporting this training with realistic models of the command and control process. Research on simulated command entities has focused p...
