This report documents one component of a larger effort to enhance human performance in Army tactical decision making. The overall effort addresses the development, integration, and evaluation of techniques to enhance the information processing and decision making performance of battlefield command groups. The techniques, including both decision aiding and training, will be evaluated in a controlled environment, the Experimental Development, Demonstration, and Integration Center EDDIC, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This report documents the development and application of four tactical scenarios to support training of Army divisional-level staff officers in the analysis of the battlefield area. The emphasis is upon terrain analysis. The scenarios are intended for use with prototype training software called the Tactical Staff Training Module.
