Effective Time Management in Battalion Task Force Operations

Abstract

This thesis examines whether or not the management of time is a problem within battalion task force tactical operations. Analysis of data collected at the National Training Center is used to isolate areas that are symptomatic of time management deficiencies and to establish that a problem of managing exists within task force operations. This study establishes that time management is a problem and that current doctrinal references offer incomplete time management guidance. This study then suggests a variety of techniques and procedures to improve the problem. This study concludes time can be better managed within task force operations. Comments generated by observer controllers, ideas presented in contemporary literature and the experiences of the author are melded together to present a philosophy to illustrate how to better manage time.
