The MCS system provides the primary tactical planning tool for the brigade. Supported by graphics decision support tools, including digital maps, aerial or satellite photos, dynamic 3D "flyover" view of the battlespace, and mobility analysis of the terrain, map overlays with intelligence and battle resources by unit. Commanders can quickly and clearly analyze different courses of action and take decisions based on thorough analysis of up-to-date situational assessment, various maneuver schemes, doctrine, and changes encountered during the course of action. Once detailed plan is determined, the MCS prepare and send warning operations orders, and related annexes. During the mission, the system provides automatic updates of friendly/enemy unit movement locations and battlefield geometry. As all information is maintained on the database, re-tasking of units is rapid and flexible. As an integrated part of the battle command systems, MCS receives information from external sources and updates those sources within predetermined operational plans. Such sources include intelligence, fire support, supply status and air operations requests. 2, record 5, English, - Maneuver%20Control%20System

Canadian command relationship which gives the gaining commander full authority to direct and control all aspects of the operational activities and all movement of the unit or formation placed at his disposal, and, unless specifically excluded, the authority to direct and responsibility for the combat service support of the unit. The commander may assign missions or tasks to the entire unit or to its separate elements. He may delegate all or any part of his authority for the "under command" unit to a subordinate or adjacent commander. In grouping tactical aviation units "under command" of a land commander, the gaining commander will exercise his authority for the assignment of tasks to the separate elements of the force, the delegation of authority to subordinate commanders and the selection of and movement between deployment areas through the aviation component commander. In addition, the control of certain aspects of unit operational or support activities is retained by Commander Air Command and exercised through the aviation component commander. 1, record 19, English, - under%20command
