Workspace Design Handbook for Standardized Command Posts

Abstract

This handbook was developed for use in the Army Chief of Staff's Standardized Command Post program. It provides recommended design techniques, assessment approaches, sample operational considerations, human factors guidelines, and implementation advice for the design of Army tactical command posts. All information in the handbook is based on subject matter experts' knowledge of human factors design and soldier performance. The handbook discusses operational considerations in terms of standardizations and establishment of operational requirements for workspace design. It also points out the need to go beyond arranging equipment in command post design and describes how to incorporate the soldiers and their missions in design. Keywords: Command and control systems, Human factors engineering, Handbooks, Tactical communication, Workplace layout. (RWJ)
