The Low-Level Battle Management Language (LBML) is a part of the NETN SimC2 component and represent lower-level tasks suitable for providing simulation instructions to federates modelling individual units or platforms.
LBML provides a simulator independent way of command and control over simulated entities both from a simulator operator perspective and when modelling command and control interaction between federates in a distributed simulation. LBML contains common low level tasks and commands that can easily be interpreted and executed by simulations that model the behavior of entities. It also defines a set of reports used by simulations to provide status updates of the tasks being executed.
| Instructions | Reports |

FireIndirectWM: Task entity to fire at a location with the specified weapon and munition. FireAtUnit: Task entity to fire at a specified unit. FireDirectWM: Task entity to fire at a specified unit with specified weapon munition type. FollowRoute: Task entity to follow a specified route. FollowUnit: Tasks entity to follow another unit. Move: Task entity to move in the specified direction. MoveIntoFormation: Task an aggregate unit to move into specified formation and heading. MoveToLocation: Task unit to move to the specified destination. MoveToUnit: Task entity to move to another unit. SetRulesOfEngagement: Task a unit to change the rules of engagement.
