Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This human dimensions assessment quantified the impact of changes in the work environment of soldiers and leaders who participated in the brigade level task force (TF XXI) Advanced Warfighter Experiment (AWE). The TF XXI AWE investigated the potential for digitizing land combat forces through the fielding of new technology equipment and accompanying changes in organizational design, tactics, techniques and procedures. Surveys and structured interviews were used to assess soldier and leader perceptions of TF XXI, the work environment, and organizational outcomes. The major finding is that as soldiers and leaders became more familiar with the new technology and its use, they were less threatened by it, and appreciated more the positive impact it would have on them, their units, and the Army as a whole. The findings also underscore potential problems with a number of different but clearly interrelated human dimensions. One example is the new career opportunities created by this technology within but also outside the Army, and the possible impact of these opportunities on Army wide personnel retention and recruitment programs. This study contributes to the requirement to define, quantify, and record empirical information to more fully understand and respond to the human dimensions of the Force XXI program." -- Stinet.

Book excerpt: The relative success of implementing technological changes in organizations is frequently related to the effectiveness of the technology implementation process itself. Consequently, when engaged in technological changes, organizations should monitor how the technology implementation process impacts employees. By monitoring this process, key decision makers are better able to determine the extent to which observed outcomes are due to new technology, per se, or are the by-product of changes in the work environment brought on by the technology implementation process. Human dimensions assessments are designed to monitor and record the human dimensions of changes that occur in the work environment. These assessments have been an important part of major Army initiatives since World War II. This human dimensions assessment quantified the impact of changes in the work environment of an experimental brigade-level task force (TF XXI) caused by an Advanced Warfighter Experiment (AWE). The TF XXI AWE was designed to investigate the potential for digitizing land combat forces. The digitization initiatives were highlighted by the fielding of new technology equipment, but included also changes in tactics, techniques and procedures, as well as some changes in organizational design. These digitization initiatives and the changes they caused in the work environment were examined for their impact on organizational effectiveness and on how participants perceived the AWE and their role in it. Based on a review of the literature, changes associated with the TF XXI AWE were expected to impact workload and the perceived meaningfulness of the work. Our data showed a large increase in the number of work hours reported by soldiers and leaders over the course of the AWE. The increase in work hours was most noticeable for Officers and was associated with an increase in work-family conflict for Officers.

Book excerpt: A large step toward Information Age war-fighting was completed in March at the Army's National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, Calif. The Army's Experimental Force (EXFOR)-the world's first digitized ground force, the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized)-deployed to the harsh conditions of the Mojave Desert at Ft. Irwin for an intensive, realistic war-fighting exercise against the NTC's vaunted Opposing Force (OPFOR), the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The exercise was the culminating event of the TF XXI Advanced Warfighting Experiment (AWE)-a key part of the Army's Force XXI process of continuous experimentation and transformation which will result in Army XXI-the digitized force for the 21st Century.

This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research effort focused on the use of Advanced Warfighting Experiments (AWEs) to support acquisition decisions. Specifically, the thesis evaluated the effectiveness of the Army Task Force XXI AWE in providing information to support investment decisions and refinement of requirements for information age technologies. A detailed analysis of the 1997 Operational Test and Evaluation Command (OFTEC) Live Experiment Assessment Report identified program developmental recommendations. Data were collected from appropriate program offices and user representatives to determine the perceived utility of the recommendations and level of implementation. Qualitative data detailing why specific recommendations were or were not implemented were used to determine the contributing factors to a program's ability to benefit from participation in the experiment. Overall, fifty-two percent of the OPTEC recommendations were reported as either fully or mostly implemented. Other potential benefits of AWE participation were identified to include (1) marketing and exposure of program, (2) refinement of user requirements, and (3) information on integration, interfaces, and interoperabilty. Risks from participation in the 4WE included (1) a poor return on investment, (2) potential negative exposure, and (3) extensive changes in requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The possible effects of information technology insertion on organizations and their personnel are derived from an analysis of published management science and business literature. Two major points are developed. First, many factors other than the technical potential of a given information technology interact with one another and with the technology itself to determine the resultant nature, form, and functionality of the digitized organization. Second, the most significant impact on commanders and their staffs for the foreseeable future will not be quantum improvements in operational performance made possible by information technology but, rather, the technology insertion process, itself. Based on this analysis, we propose that implications for command in a digitized environment can be best described by reference to a continuum of organizational structures and associated behaviors. The extremes of this continuum are defined as digital mechanistic and digital organic. A third point between these two extremes is defined as digital adaptive. We discuss the nature of command over the range of the proposed continuum. The new competencies that might be required of commanders and their staffs regardless of the outcome of the technology insertion process are then discussed. The chapter concludes with suggestions for improving the technology insertion process."--DTIC
