as I didn't know what that new Information Warfare Commander would do for an admiral, and I still don't know, actually the last paragraph sounds strange:

Shepard said the strength of his job is the ability to “help provide fused information so the commander understands what’s going on: you’ve got your intelligence picture, we call that battlespace awareness; his communications are enabling him to have a command and control of the forces around him and be able to communicate effectively, particularly with a high-stress situation when you’re under fire; and additionally that we can advise the commander on where he needs to operate based on the weather conditions, what’s going on there that we can help guide the ship in such a way that puts us in a position of tactical advantage.”

“help provide fused information so the commander understands what’s going on

well there's a scary part which you didn't quote, and that part is

[to help a commander to] "communicate effectively, particularly with a high-stress situation when you’re under fire"

I mean it's going to be the commander's call (not that Information Warfare Commander's call)

if, during a battle, to send the next wave, or egress

Jura, the bottom line is that someone will make the final call. and that should be the Carrier Strike Group Commander. He's the one in charge . It is his job to make the final decision.
