Download or read book Overview of Army Tactical Planning Performance Research written by Jon J. Fallesen and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Essential elements of superior war fighting include tactical planning and battle command. This report reviews research on the human dimension of tactical planning. By aggregating what is known about human styles and capabilities, the Army will be better able to enhance battle command performance. Available research is reviewed and organized into 10 categories. Individual difference research is reviewed that addresses level of expertise, rank, military student populations, and cognitive ability. Findings on the estimate procedures include failure to follow procedures, imprecise procedures, inflexibility of procedures, and excessive time demands. Management of the process covers lack of involvement of staff and commander and poor process management. Information exchange discusses problems in information use, presenting plans to the commander, and communicating interpretations. Battle success relates procedural performance to outcome measures. The other categories address the functions performed in the command and control C2 cycle. " -- Abstract.
Download or read book Combined and General Staff Officer Course Student Evaluation of the Tactical Planning Workstation written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tactical Planning Workstation is an automated system that supports Army tactical staff performance at the division level. It was developed in the Experimental Development, Demonstration, and Integration Center at the U.S. Army Research Institute Fort Leavenworth Field Unit as a platform for prototyping staff information and decision aids and conducting research on staff performance. See Flanagan and Fallesen (in preparation) for a description of the capabilities of the system and Packard, McClanahan, Zarse, and Ross (in preparation) for a software description. This paper documents an evaluation of the Workstation that was conducted to obtain preliminary feedback from potential users on key design features. Students of the Command and General Staff Officer Course (CGSOC) at Fort Leavenworth provided data for the evaluation. The students made favorable comments about the ease of use of the Workstation, especially when compared with the Maneuver Control System interface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the formulation of doctrine since World War II. In no comparable period in history have the dimensions of the battlefield been so altered by rapid technological changes. The need for the tactical doctrines of the Army to remain correspondingly abreast of these changes is thus more pressing than ever before. Future conflicts are not likely to develop in the leisurely fashions of the past where tactical doctrines could be refined on the battlefield itself. It is, therefore, imperative that we apprehend future problems with as much accuracy as possible. One means of doing so is to pay particular attention to the business of how the Army's doctrine has developed historically, with a view to improving methods of future development.

Download or read book Tactical Display for Soldiers written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-01-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the human factors issues associated with the development, testing, and implementation of helmet-mounted display technology in the 21st Century Land Warrior System. Because the framework of analysis is soldier performance with the system in the full range of environments and missions, the book discusses both the military context and the characteristics of the infantry soldiers who will use the system. The major issues covered include the positive and negative effects of such a display on the local and global situation awareness of the individual soldier, an analysis of the visual and psychomotor factors associated with each design feature, design considerations for auditory displays, and physical sources of stress and the implications of the display for affecting the soldier's workload. The book proposes an innovative approach to research and testing based on a three-stage strategy that begins in the laboratory, moves to controlled field studies, and culminates in operational testing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With contributions from a collection of authors consisting of many recognizable experts in the field of virtual and adaptive environments, as well as many up and coming young researchers, this book illustrates the many ways in which psychological science contributes to and benefits from the increased development and application of these nascent systems. Discussing issues from both a user- and technology-based standpoint, the volume examins the use of human perception, cognition, and behavior. The book builds a foundation on the assumption that these systems are first and foremost human-centered technologies, in that their purpose is to complement and extend human capabilities across a wide variety of domains.
Download or read book Tactical Command and Control Process written by Jon J. Fallesen and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Command and General Staff College requested that ARI participate in the development of new descriptions of the command and control (C2) process for tactical commanders and staffs. The request was based on information from research on training of group decision making and development of C2 decision aids. These results, along with naturalistic observation of command and staff performance during command post exercises, were used to develop a modified process description. One major principle on which the description is based focuses on the fact that command and control is done to accomplish missions and not to select a best course of action. Other C2 activities are raised in importance in the new description, including situation understanding, battle forecasting, wargaming, synchronization, deception planning, contingency planning, and rehearsals. Practical themes (like commander involvement, allocation and management of planning time, and active error checking) are stressed to facilitate the application of the process. Command and control, Tactical decision making, Command and staff operations, Planning process, Human performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict: How Soldiers Make Impossible Decisions is about making hard choices--where all outcomes are potentially negative. The authors draw on interviews conducted with soldiers about the situations they faced and the decisions they made at war. These are vivid and sometimes distressing stories. They form the data from which the authors explore the cognitive processes associated with choice, commitment to action and (sometimes) error, as well as goal directed thinking, innovation and courage. By referring to real cases, Conflict invites readers to consider their own responses under extreme circumstances and ask themselves how they would choose between difficult options. In doing so this book will go some way to helping readers understand what it feels like when choosing between least-worst decisions.
