  The outcomes of warfare have rarely only been characterised by the quantity
and quality of individual combatant force elements. The ability to manoeuvre
and adapt across force elements through effective Command and Control (C2) can
allow smaller or weaker forces to overcome an adversary with greater resource
and fire-power. In this paper, we combine the classic Lanchester combat model
with the Kuramoto-Sakaguchi model for phase oscillators on a network to create
a flexible Networked-Lanchester-C2 representation of force-on-force military
engagement. The mathematical model thus unifies three of the military
warfighting `functions': fires, manoeuvre and C2. We consider three
illustrative use-cases, and show that an analytical treatment of a reduced
model characterises global effects in the full system. For inhomogeneous forces
we observe that with appropriate balance between internal organisational
coupling, resource manoeuvrability and even weaker lethality the force can be
adaptive to overcome an initially stronger adversary.
