In [[combat]], [[battle]], [[war]], [[military Science|military science]], [[military engineering]], [[military tactics]] and [[military strategy]]; problem solving is linked to the concept of "end-states", the conditions or situations which are the aims of the strategy.<ref name="USJFCOM">{{cite web|date=27 October 2009|title=Commander's Handbook for Strategic Communication and Communication Strategy|url=http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/jfcom/cc_handbook_sc_27oct2009.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110429051434/http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/jfcom/cc_handbook_sc_27oct2009.pdf|archive-date=April 29, 2011|access-date=10 October 2016|publisher=[[United States Joint Forces Command]], Joint Warfighting Center, Suffolk, Va.}}</ref>{{rp|xiii, E-2}} Ability to solve problems is important at any [[military rank]], but is essential at the [[command and control]] level. It results from deep qualitative and quantitative understanding of possible scenarios. ''Effectiveness'' in this context is an evaluation of results: to what extent the end states were accomplished.<ref name="USJFCOM"/>{{rp|IV-24}} ''Planning'' is the process of determining how to effect those end states. Concepts related to these issues that are effective in directing work and situations are; [[methodology]], [[methodism]], [[question]], [[scientific method]], [[research]], [[research and development]], [[tactic (method)]], [[strategy]], [[planning]], [[management]], [[strategic management]], [[strategic planning]], [[problem finding]], [[problem shaping]], [[time management]], [[business administration]], [[politics]], [[political science]], [[policy]]. <ref name="USJFCOM"/>{{rp|IV-1}}
