Direct and Lead Units in Execution of Battle (Battlefield Function 20) as Accomplished by a Direct Support Field Artillery Battalion. Volume 1: Function Analysis.
Abstract
The purpose of the overall research program was to document the synchronization required by command and control tasks performed within the armored brigade to Include combat support and combat service support units. The immediate application of the documentation was to support developers of staff training in two related projects: Battle Staff Training System and Staff Group Training. The documentation was also intended to assist with the planning and execution of collective training. The documentation approach was to apply function analysis (FA) techniques for battlefield functions (BFs) in the Command and Control battlefield operating system. Thirteen FAs were developed for the brigade headquarters and four supporting units: direct support field artillery battalion, engineer battalion, forward support battalion, and air defense artillery battery. The FAs were revised through a formative evaluation process that included internal review and successive external reviews by combat training centers proponent agencies and a review council representing potential users of the FAs. The final products include the FAs, a use's guide and assessment packages for the BFs. This report provides the FA and use's guide for BF 20 as performed by the direct support field artillery battalion.
