Abstract:

The purpose of this document is to provide the information and instructions necessary for using the Electronic Clipboard Subsystem ECS, one of the two major subsystems of the Training Information Management System TIMS . The TIMS is a computer-based system that can be used by Army personnel to collect and display training evaluation data during field training exercises, and to generate summary evaluation reports following the training exercises. The TIMS has two major subsystems. The first, called the Electronic Clipboard SubsystemECS, is a hand-held electronic field training and performance evaluation aid. The ECS contains and displays performance evaluation checklists and other associated information to allow a training evaluator to record the success or failure of a soldier in meeting the standards of performance for selected tasks. The second subsystem is called the Training Base Station TBS. The TBS is a computer-based subsystem that maintains multiple checklist databases, transfers data toform the ECS, and generates printed and displayed summaries of training performance. The TBS is not a field-portable subsystem, but rather resides at a fixed location e.g., the unit headquarters.
