The article is an attempt to answer how the Network Centric Warfare (NCW) theory can influence the widely understood command and control matters. To achieve such an aim, the essence of NCW was explained, but from the tactical-operational and real commander’s point of view than from the typical, pure technological approach. Basic rules of military operations conducted according to the new concept were identified and described and some differences in comparison to “classic” warfare were defined. On that basis the author explained the main C2 problems drawn from a new concept, focused on two basic components of the C2 system-organization of command as well as command and control process. An important point was also the problem of command & control styles which could cover needs of new concepts.
