Abstract:

Collective front-end analysis is the process by which the critical missions and collective tasks of a battalion are specified. Collective tasks are units of work requiring two or more people for their completion. A systems analysis approach is employed in CFEA. The CFEA process begins with specification of a battalion mission, proceeds to specification of battalion element missions, and ends with delineation and description of collective tasks. The systems approach to CFEA is advantageous because it results in a thorough listing of a units mission and collective tasks and provides a means of relating task criticality directly to a unit mission. In order to reduce the workload on the user and help organize the massive amounts of data involved, job aids have been developed for CFEA users. A trial CFEA was conducted using the HAWK missile system. Keywords ARTEPSArmy Training and Evaluation Program Criticality assessment and HAWK missiles.
