Formatting Battlefield Function, Function Analysis for Automated Systems Approach to Training

Abstract

The Armored Forces Research Unit, U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), in coordination with the U.S. Army Force XXI Training Program (FXXITP), has sponsored research on the utility of battlefield functions (BFs) for training the armored brigade. This research is a continuation of previous work performed to analyze and use BFs applicable to the heavy battalion task force to support a Functional Approach to Training strategy. This report provides the history and lessons learned for the effort to analyze seven BFs applicable to the armored brigade, as well as describes the methodology and procedures used to develop function analyses (FAs) for the selected brigade BFs. The methodology and processes used for the development of BF FAs are described and provide the basis for future development of BF FAs for other type units and echelons.
