Combatant Commands Informational Series, USEUCOM
Abstract
The dissolution of the Soviet Union and subsequent United States reduction in military forces drove a fundamental shift in military operational focus from preparation for battle with a monolithic superpower to constant reaction in a dynamic climate. This is particularly true of organizations like the United States European Command (USEUCOM) whose Area of Responsibility (AOR) and the diverse challenges it faces require it to maintain one of the highest operational and personnel tempos of the combatant commands. This change in focus limits the opportunity of personnel new to the command to obtain detailed orientation towards USEUCOM's responsibilities, challenges, and operations. This altered environment creates a requirement for orientation programs to be completed prior to arrival at the command. One tool available to alleviate this training shortfall is the use of Multimedia ToolBook. This hypermedia computer-based training product can consolidate volumes of information including text, images, and diagrams helping the user familiarize himself with the organization's AOR, mission, strategy, and challenges. Because it is adaptable, accessible and portable, it offers the best medium presently available to disseminate such information at relatively low costs. Additionally, due to its self-contained executable computer program, it can be employed by students at professional military education programs (PME), theater component commands, or various other government and Department of Defense customers.
