4-23. In execution, the staff—primarily through the current operations integration cell—integrates forces and warfighting functions to accomplish the mission. The current operations integration cell is the integrating cell in the command post with primary responsibility for coordinating and directing execution. Staff members in the current operations integration cell actively assist the commander and subordinate units in controlling the current operation. They provide information, synchronize staff and subordinate unit or echelon activities, and coordinate support requests from subordinates. The current operations integration cell solves problems and acts within the authority delegated by the commander. It also performs some short-range planning using the rapid decision-making and synchronization process. (See paragraph 4-36 for a discussion beginning on the rapid decision-making and synchronization process.)
