Under the CWC concept, what should the OTC's primary focus be?

The primary focus of the Officer in Tactical Command (OTC) under the Concept of Operations for the Command and Control Warfare (CWC) is on fighting their ship. This emphasis reflects the critical role of the OTC in ensuring combat effectiveness during naval operations. The OTC is responsible for making tactical decisions, employing the ship's systems and capabilities effectively, and responding to threats in real-time.

Fighting the ship encompasses managing the crew, operating weapon systems, and making strategic tactical decisions to ensure the ship can engage effectively with adversaries. This focus is essential in the high-stakes environment of naval warfare, where immediate tactical outcomes can significantly influence broader operational objectives.

The other choices represent important aspects of military operations but do not align as closely with the immediate responsibilities of the OTC in this context. Strategic planning, resource allocation, and training and development, while crucial for overall military effectiveness, occur at different levels of command and are not the OTC’s primary considerations in the heat of combat. The OTC's main task centers around direct engagement and tactical management, making the decision to prioritize the fight central to the role.
