The Future Battlefield: Human Dimensions and Implications for Doctrine and Research

Abstract

The anticipated nature of future land combat is analyzed with respect to the resulting demands on soldiers. Aspects of current infantry doctrine, casually-evolved behavior in the field, and human capacity are analyzed with respect to soldier's performance limits. Doctrine and research recommendations aimed at closing the gap between demands and performance limits are made.
