Digital Proficiency Levels for the Brigade and Battalion Battle Staff

Abstract

This report results from ongoing work to develop a digital proficiency measurement architecture that includes the battle staff equipped with the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS). The report first examines primary dimensions of ATCCS-enabled performance, including major system capabilities, high- payoff user skills and tasks, and network management skills. It then explores how ATCCS exploitation contributes to critical staff functions, with an emphasis on integration across Battlefield Operating Systems (BOSs). The discussion includes findings on brigade versus battalion differences and digital versus analog staff processes. A family of proficiency level matrixes is presented for six major staff sections. Finally, the report discusses implications of the findings for digital proficiency measurement and after action review (AAR) procedures. Altogether the findings point to high-payoff proficiency targets, paving the way for ATCCS exploitation guidelines and analysis of measurement and AAR requirements for the Future Force. The report includes recommendations for harnessing the knowledge products.
