Download or read book Digital Proficiency Levels for the Brigade and Battalion Battle Staff written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report results from ongoing work to develop a digital proficiency measurement architecture that includes the battle staff equipped with the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS). The report first examines primary dimensions of ATCCS-enabled performance, including major system capabilities, high- payoff user skills and tasks, and network management skills. It then explores how ATCCS exploitation contributes to critical staff functions, with an emphasis on integration across Battlefield Operating Systems (BOSs). The discussion includes findings on brigade versus battalion differences and digital versus analog staff processes. A family of proficiency level matrixes is presented for six major staff sections. Finally, the report discusses implications of the findings for digital proficiency measurement and after action review (AAR) procedures. Altogether the findings point to high-payoff proficiency targets, paving the way for ATCCS exploitation guidelines and analysis of measurement and AAR requirements for the Future Force. The report includes recommendations for harnessing the knowledge products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents research on classroom training practices in Army Battle Command System courses. The investigation examined a sample of institutional courses using observation and classification techniques. Three learning theories--behaviorist, cognitive, and constructivist--guided the collection and analysis of data. Cognitive and behaviorist training techniques were observed somewhat more frequently than constructivist techniques. The frequency of training techniques depended on the type of course (operator vs. leader orientation), instructor style, and progression across days. The discussion offers potential improvements i the areas of training techniques, program of instruction, training environment, and instructional innovation. The report is intended for use by training designers and developers , digital trainers, and training managers working in institutional settings"--P. i.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to current, accurate battlefield information via the Army Battle Command System (ABCS), is supposed to improve decision making by leaders and commanders, but some research suggests that information systems may, paradoxically, have the opposite effect by overwhelming leaders with information or by emphasizing irrelevant information. There are currently no published reports examining the impact of ABCS systems on decision-making. This report is an effort to address this important research gap through an investigation of the ways the ABCS impacts decision-making by Army leaders at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC). Observer/controllers (O/Cs) at JRTC reported that few units are fully trained to use their ABCS systems. Nevertheless, most units were able to leverage some system capabilities to accomplish mission objectives. The most common decision errors were the result of the availability heuristic (e.g., making a decision with incomplete information). Of the six decision errors examined, only two were reported to involve ABCS systems. O/Cs also indicated that when digital systems increased errors, it was due to improper use rather than the design of the system. Thus, the data suggest that these systems do not increase decision errors; however, their potential to reduce errors has not yet been fully realized by units training at JRTC.

Book excerpt: The rate of change in the operational environment outpaces the development of doctrine and schoolhouse instruction, leaders must direct their own development in order to adaptively and professionally meet the challenges brought on by Army transformation. Army professional forums (APFs), powered by advances in collaborative toolsets and multimedia presentation software, provide a means for leader self-development and professional growth. The research was conducted as an initial exploration of this area. The early stages of this initiative present the most valuable opportunity to establish checks that ensure the initiative is functioning effectively and meeting organizational goals. Establishing such checks enhances the organizational impact of the initiative. The APF assessment framework developed in the present research enables the assessment of APFs during the early stages of the Army knowledge-management initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report examines the use of digital information systems and automated measures of human performance to improve staff training and performance assessment. This work began with a review of research literature and technical documentation related to team performance and assessment, operations in digital environments, and automated performance data collection. A general design for staff performance assessment was formulated, based on findings of the literature review. An opportunity to implement this design was provided by an Army Concept Experimentation Program (CEP), the Battle Command Reengineering (BCR) IV, which took place in April 2000. By participating in the BCR IV, researchers had the opportunity to conduct a trial implementation of the automated measures of performance assessment Coordination between the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab (MMBL) at Fort Knox, Kentucky, enabled the two organizations to work together as a team to accomplish multiple goals. This report describes the development of prototype automated measures, the results of their use during the BCR IV, and lessons learned for future staff performance assessment efforts."--Stinet.

Book excerpt: "This report results from a study of key factors that are likely to shape the training environment of the future force. The study aimed to translate lessons learned by digitization leaders into high-payoff recommendations for training the Objective Force. The study team interviewed senior leaders in the Army's First Digital Division and I Corps, capturing previously undocumented knowledge acquired through practical experience Digital training experts, including two retired General Officers, then analyzed the interview transcripts to generate implications for training the future force In the process, the experts injected their own knowledge and insights to expand the understanding of issues and requirements Finally, the team developed specific recommendations intended to give transformation leaders a distinctive training advantage The practical insights and recommendations point to initiatives the Army can take to establish Objective Force training as a decisive combat multiplier."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report documents the design, development, and implementation of refinements to a prototype staff training package for future forces. These training refinements were made to a prototype staff training package described in the report Prototype Staff Training and Evaluation Methods for Future Forces, Throne et al., 1999. The training refinements were implemented in a simulation-based experiment examining the impact of digital systems on Future Battle Command at the battalion and brigade level. This report focuses on the training support package designed to improve performance of staffs using advanced command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems. Documentation is provided on the analysis, design and development of four staff training products developed under this effort: a Surrogate Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (SC4) System Demonstration, Digital Staff Drills, Team Training Sessions (TTSs) and TTSs Trainer Guide, and refinements to Tactical Decision-Making Exercises (TDXs). The formative evaluation is described for those products with survey results and project team Observations reported by product type. Lessons learned on future staff training are documented and may help direct the Army's effort to develop command and staff training support packages (TSPs) for future forces."--Stinet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to document the design, development, and demonstration of a prototype training package to improve staff performance and a prototype performance evaluation package for staffs using advanced command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems. These prototypes were implemented in a simulation-based experiment to examine the impact of digital systems on future Battle Command at the battalion and brigade level. This report first presents a review of previous research and relevant literature on training design and evaluation issues. The design and development of the prototype training and evaluation packages are described and are followed by discussions of formative results and lessons learned. The major research products associated with training and evaluation for the implementation are presented in the five-volume set of materials entitled Training and Measurement Support Package, Battle Command Reengineering III, Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab. The formative evaluation provided valuable information for revisions and additional trials of the prototype training and evaluation package are required to validate its efficacy and utility. Future implementation should lead to further development of this prototype training and evaluation package that targets higher-order cognitive skills needed on the digital battlefield.
