Abstract:

An analysis of decision-making and command and control situations was conducted in order to a identify decision-making skills required to command and control ongoing combat situations and b determine relevant training procedures. Training objectives were developed for the demonstration model of the Combined Arms Tactical Training Simulator CATTS. General-level terminal performance objectives in terms of actions, conditions, and standards were developed. Tests of the suitability of the demonstration model of CATTS as a training system were prepared. A literature review served as background for investigation of the production of fragmentary orders during the execution of tactical operation orders. Conclusions were a Terminal performance objectives are an initial step of training development for the CATTS concept b further training development is needed before training can be implemented in CATTS c the developed model for the production of combat fragmentary orders has potential applicability to a range of combat situations d the model can provide a basis for improving the effectiveness of the production of fragmentary orders.
