Military Message Experiment Baseline Data Report Test Group,

Abstract

A computer-aided system for message handling in a military environment is being installed for use by selected members of CINCPAC's Operations Directorate (J3). The system will aid these personnel in distributing, reading, filing retrieving, creating, coordinating, and releasing general service (GENSER) messages of Top Secret and lower classifications. The test plan and procedures describe several types of data collection for evaluating the system. Data describing current manual procedures have been collected; data describing system usage are being collected throughout the operational evaluation. The primary purpose of this report is to present the data describing manual procedures, so that patterns of message-handling activity can be determined and in the future compared to patterns of computer-aided message handling. Changes in message-handling procedures can thus be observed, and the effect of the computer system can be determined. The remainder of this section summarizes manual message handling as observed in the Operations Directorate (J3) of CINCPAC. Details are presented in the sections that follow.
