Abstract:

The impact of the Tactical Operations System TOS on the procedures, personnel, and skill requirements for affected staff elements at Army division main and tactical command posts is discussed on an element by element basis. Changes to the current TOS design that would enhance its usefulness to staff users in each element are identified and defined. The material is useful for determining TOS training requirements at the Army division level and providing the rationale for detailed investigation of the feasibility and utility of proposed system enhancements.
