Potential Predictors of Battalion Task Force Performance Effectiveness at the National Training Center
Abstract
Battalion effectiveness is the focus of four groups of studies/data bases reviewed and reanalyzed to determine their potential for predicting and understanding battalion effectiveness. Effectiveness at the National Training Center was adopted as a common criterion and components for a conceptual definition of effectiveness were proposed. Results of the reviews and reanalyses indicate that 17 variables from the previous studies/data bases are supported as potential predictors of effectiveness at the NTC. These are NCO's, junior officers' and brigade commanders' judgements of effectiveness, ARTEP, AGI, equipment readiness, physical condition, training/cross training, and eight information processing variables. Once these variables have been validated as predictors of performance at the NTC they can be integrated into a battery for use by unit as a diagnostic aid prior to training for the NTC. Additional key words: Command climate, System science, Command Group behaviors, AMORE.
