Abstract
There has been much controversy about the effectiveness of military command in Iraq and Afghanistan. Contributing to these debates, this article examines the changing character of twenty-first century command through the example of Operation Moshtarak. Mostharak was a major operation conducted to secure Kandahar City in 2009–10 by Combined Joint Task Force-6, commanded by Major-General Nick Carter, that acted as the International Security Assistance Force’s Regional Command (South) in this period. The paper explores Carter’s distinctive decision-making method during this campaign to argue that Carter exemplifies a more collective method of command than typically adopted in the twentieth century.
