In sensor-shooter integration, who is responsible for ensuring engagements align with the commander's intent?

In sensor-shooter integration, the operator is the person who must ensure that every engagement reflects the commander's intent. They control the sensor-to-shhooter loop, validate targets, and apply the applicable rules of engagement and mission objectives before executing or withholding fire. The operator translates the higher-level intent into action on the battlefield, maintaining situational awareness and coordinating with the fire control system to keep actions aligned with what the commander intends to accomplish. Maintenance keeps gear functional but doesn’t decide when to engage. The intelligence section provides targeting data and situational awareness, but it’s the operator who must apply that information in a way that matches the commander's guidance. The logistics supervisor handles resources and support, not engagement alignment.
