Carrier Battle Group Toolbook.
Abstract
Joint and multinational staffs are generally unfamiliar with US Navy capabilities and operations, leading to less than optimum naval integration in joint and multinational operations. The Carrier Battle Group employment ToolBook is a multimedia ToolBook on CD-ROM that focuses on carrier battle group (CVBG) assets, missions and planning factors, with the aim to better achieve joint objectives. The ToolBook is broken down into three main categories, Planning, Assets, and Joint Missions, each of which address specific areas such as command structure, mission descriptions, platform descriptions and capabilities, tasking procedures and considerations. Text, graphics, and videos are hypermedia linked to logical destinations within the ToolBook so that the viewer could learn about naval operations from an organizational, functional, or task orientation. Included is a Navy-Air Force cross reference list for important service specific jargon. The overall objective of the ToolBook is to point joint planners in the right direction and direct them to the best Naval resource to accomplish the joint mission. Research methodology includes unclassified source data from a wide variety of official and unofficial references, publications, current periodicals, and liaison with numerous Naval activities and subject matter experts. The research team members' own experiences contributed to the ToolBook: the team's collective experiences include participation and operational level planning on virtually all major joint operations undertaken in the last ten years.
