A Measurement Concept for Assessing Corps Performance

Abstract

This report introduces a measurement concept for assessing the performance of an Army corps participating in a joint exercise such as those conducted by the U.S. Readiness Command (REDCOM). The operational objectives for corps level organizations are identified through the review of the most recent Army doctrine and interviews with subject matter experts (SMEs) working on corps level doctrine. Based on current doctrine, interviews with military SMEs, and a review of existing performance measurement systems, an information processing model of corps performance was developed. From this, data collection procedures and a measurement concept were developed initially and evaluated through application in the analysis of the Inchon Landing Operation conducted during the Korean War. The measurement concept, data collection procedures, and validation plan presented in the report provide the blueprints for the development and validation of a corps performance measurement system that could be implemented using the REDCOM Joint Exercise Simulation System (JESS). This performance measurement system could then serve as the vehicle for providing feedback to participants in the REDCOM exercises.
