This article examines how emerging disruptive technologies during 1989–1993 affected the execution and doctrinal understanding of mission command principles in the U.S. Armed Forces. The analysis builds on an event-based cumulative coding process in which a selection of specific doctrines, technological advancements, and named operations are treated as key events and coded on a stepped scale (-1, 0, +1) over two dimensions: doctrine (d) and practical implementation in operations (p). The codes are cumulatively summed and visualised using an iterative model. Technologies are treated in two tracks: as inhibitors of MC principles and as facilitators of MC principles. Tactical-level technologies are mostly supportive of such principles, whereas network-level implementations show degraded trust between command levels. The doctrinal revision of FM 100-5 in 1993 is consistent with the patterns identified in the model.
