Book excerpt: This study challenges the military decision-making process as both ineffective and inefficient for use in decision making at the task force level. FM 101-5 (final draft), Staff Organization and Operations, 1966, currently prescribes the MDMP as the only accepted process for decision making. This process is applicable to all echelons. This researcher suggests that the decision-making process is different at task force level and makes recommendations to improve the decision-making process when applied to the resource constrained environment characteristic of task force level operations. The MDMP is a systematic, analytical approach to decision making that generates multiple courses of action for the purpose of allowing the commander to select the optimum COA. This study explored the existing theories of naturalistic or recognition primed decision making for the purpose of determining a single option rapidly. The MDMP is by its own description a staff and time intensive process. The requirement to develop the best possible solution instead of one workable solution results in a significant increase in time used in the conduct of the planning process with no applicable difference in the results. The research examined the MDMP against the environment characteristics of task force level operations for efficiency and effectiveness. The study concluded that the MDMP is neither an efficient nor effective planning process when applied to task force level. The study provides recommended improvements for the MDMP to streamline the process and make it a more efficient and effective process for task force level planning. Key to the discussion is the idea of returning to a more commander involved metal process versus the present staff driven, product oriented process of FM 101-5.

Download or read book Winning at the Acquisition Game written by Timothy Galpin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of digital transformation, disruptive innovation, transient competitive advantage, and industry convergence, mergers and acquisitions have become more complex than ever. Winning at the Acquisition Game presents the best materials, insights, tools, and templates which comprise the comprehensive, cross-disciplinary Mergers and Acquisitions course taught in the MBA and Executive MBA programs at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Each chapter connects traditionally distinct "siloed" functional expertise and provides readers with practical knowledge and tools to help them understand the entire M&A process; from pre-deal strategy and due diligence, through transaction valuation, negotiations, and consummation, to post-deal implementation, workforce motivation, innovation for revenue growth, and results measurement and reporting. Case examples illustrate how each stage of the process has been implemented by companies across various industries, while discussion questions and self-assessments enable readers to determine their organization's current level of M&A capability. Through an actionable, end-to-end process model this book shows both practitioners and students of M&A how to successfully mobilize and integrate organizational capability and avoid management missteps to gain a unique advantage and truly "win" at the acquisition game.

Download or read book Keys to Joint Task Force Decision Making During Current Operations written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) recently completed a cognitive study of the decision making process during current operations at the brigade and battalion Task force levels. The ARL study first presents a commander-staff group process model as a framework, then develops an integrated cognitive model. The integrated model synthesizes key features of four major decision models developed by prominent cognitive psychologists within the naturalistic decision making community. The implications are far-reaching. Insights from the study point strongly in the direction of developing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for tactical operations centers during current operations. The study also explains persuasively why, in time constrained circumstances, a commander-directed single COA, vice multiple options, is a prudent and successful method of decision-making. The authors link the cognitive model to a requirement that Opposing Forces (OPFOR) doctrine be developed to support the training of units for operations other than war. A sub-set of this effort would be the development of intelligence preparation of the battlespace (IPB) techniques to enhance visualization of the enemy force during OOTW contingencies. Finally, the authors urge that similar studies be initiated of current operations decision making within Joint Task Force headquarters. The studies have the potential to leverage significant improvement in the training of officers to serve in JTF headquarters. The authors also urge the Joint doctrine community to underwrite efforts to develop a body of Opposing Forces doctrine for OOTW contingencies.

This book was released on 2001-08-30 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conclusion of a war typically signals the beginning of a flood of memoirs and instant campaign histories, many presenting the purported, but often dubious lessons of the recent conflict. Cordesman is careful to avoid such pitfalls in this detailed and closely reasoned analysis, and helps us to begin to understand the implications of this dramatic conflict on its own terms. Based on a combination of official and unofficial (but always authoritative) sources, he builds a thorough case for the true lessons of NATO's first battle fought within Europe. After consideration of the historical, major political, and strategic factors that set the stage for the Kosovo campaign, Cordesman critically examines the actual effectiveness of the NATO air campaigns, both in Kosovo and Serbia proper. Operations in this rugged part of Europe were difficult, and compounding the challenges of terrain and weather were the conflicting national agendas within the Allied coalition that seriously hampered focused and decisive action by NATO. Although Milosevic ultimately conceded defeat, all of these factors played an important role in limiting the intensity and shaping the military outcome of the campaign, and the likely political and strategic results were far from certain. Cordesman unflinchingly concludes, that the air campaign over Kosovo exposed deep fault lines within and among the NATO countries and fundamental flaws in the way the West wages war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the expansion of The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) into the post-Soviet space after the end of the Cold War. Based on an extensive analysis of the literature and government documents, including doctrines, statements and speeches by the most influential decision-makers and other actors, it sheds new light on the geopolitical and geostrategic context of the expansion of the military alliance, and assesses its impact on international security relations in Europe. The first chapter introduces readers to the neo-realist approach and develops the methodological basis of the book. The following chapters provide a historical overview of the causes and consequences of two waves of eastward NATO enlargement. Special attention is paid to the annexation of the Crimea and to Russian hybrid-asymmetric warfare. Finally, thirty years after the end of the Cold War, the book notes a disturbing return to militarization in international security relations. To counter this process, the author calls for a reduction of current international tensions and a new policy of détente.

Book excerpt: "This research and development effort, called Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation III (COBRAS III), designed simulation -based, structured training for the staffs of the conventionally-equipped brigade combat team (BCT). The effort included designing a progressive approach to presenting and utilizing training objectives. The resulting product was a set of "performance objectives" that provides techniques and procedures for command and staff performance. The performance objectives resulted from and support the purpose of the training, which is to facilitate BCT preparation for combat training center rotations and deployment. The performance objective concept was an extension of the task analysis work conducted during the two proceedings projects. -- COBRAS I and COBRAS II."--DTIC.
