Most active duty Army officers do not trust the current officer promotion and evaluation system, which is perceived as negatively impacting the retention of talented leaders. A common perception of the current active-duty Army promotion evaluation system is that it does not promote objectively and merit-based Captains with the greatest amount of potential. Furthermore, the Army will continue to stifle trust, motivation, and willingness for successful leaders to stay in and serve by continuing its current method of talent management. This study suggests that an objective, merit-based automated evaluation system can be implemented to overcome the current problems, improve effectiveness of talent management, and self-regulate to eventually identify the most significant characteristics common to successful leaders by branch, rank, position, and more importantly, by duty position.

SPR00-0005-00(981), During the funding provided in FY2013, the GTRI developed RPM placement truck was reworked to prepare the truck, for full-time service on Georgia roadways. During this effort, the RPM truck was configured for a certain type of lane, striping – the single skip line. The single skip line configuration allows for laying down markers on multi-lane roads, which are the most challenging roadways from a safety standpoint., After conducting a successful training and demonstration exercise with GDOT’s District 3 personnel on May 28, 2013, the system is now in the hands of GDOT’s maintenance crews to use on a regular basis. With the successful transition, from research to full-time use, we look forward to future developments for automated RPM technologies.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Army has developed and adequately reticulated a doctrine for the employment of the automated Maneuver Control System (MCS). Although MCS has been fielded in three U.S. Corps and taken to war, there is little guidance for its use in doctrinal publications. This study analyzes Army command and control doctrine against six criteria: publications, training systems, personnel policies, fielding strategies, sustainment experiences, and tactical use of technology. The study determines that the Army has been hesitant to incorporate MCS into command and control doctrine. Emerging Army doctrine is confused as to exactly where automation fits into the command and control system. Some doctrinal publications present MCS as the system itself, while others portray it as the commander's tool in the command and control facility. The study concludes that the intentional evolutionary fielding process for MCS has resulted in a doctrinal delay. However, this delay is not unlike the evolution of doctrine for technical innovations like the tank and the helicopter. Foremost among the implications of this study is how fast and comprehensively the Army can articulate doctrine for MCS. This speed and comprehensiveness will be determined by the degree of top level support MCS receives.

This monograph analyzes battalion level tactical decision making to determine if an automated system can facilitate decision making during combat. Danger, exertion, uncertainty, and chance are battlefield conditions under which the commander must operate. While technology has increased battlefield speed and lethality, improvements in command, control, and decision making have not kept pace. This study first reviews command and control and decision making from theoretical and historical perspectives and then from the perspective of current and emerging doctrine to identify requirements for decision making. It then analyzes tactical decision making tasks and conditions to identify the criteria an effective system should meet. This study applies the criteria to manual and automated systems to identify their relative advantages and disadvantages to determine if automation can facilitate decision making and, if it can, what the proper mix of automated and manual systems should be. This monograph concludes that automation can facilitate battalion level tactical decision making. To support the battalion commander's requirements during battle, his command and control system should be based on a manual system to support the intuitive, leadership, and human elements of command and control. Automated systems should support the commander's decision making capability and battlefield control by improving his situational awareness.

This monograph examines the tension between the science of increased technological control and the art of the demands of command and leadership on the modern battlefield. Specifically, it analyzes the potential for battalion commanders to exercise transformational leadership if they have the ability to monitor the locations and activity of all their subordinates. The monograph is introduced with a brief presentation of the character of combat on the lethal battlefields of the future. It goes on to show that these conditions will require units to execute dispersed operations in order to survive -- only massing to generate combat power before quickly dispersing again. The assertion is made that fighting wars with these methods will require leaders to develop leadership styles, such as transformational leadership, which empower their dispersed subordinates to exercise unprecedented individual initiative. The question of how the increased technological capacity to control will affect such leadership styles at the tactical level of war is then posed. A thorough examination of the evolution of transformational leadership theory in the early 1980's follows the introduction. Brief case studies are presented which highlight the potential for transformational leadership in political, corporate, and military settings. Current developments in communications technology are then considered with special emphasis on improvements in synchronization and generation of combat power. A more thorough examination of the communications capabilities of the Inter-Vehicular Information System (IVIS) demonstrates that the deployment of an automated command and control system can lead to improved synchronization on the lethal battlefield of the future. Finally, the monograph analyzes the intersection of the vectors of transformational leadership and IVIS at the level of the battalion commander. It ends on a cautionary note, with suggestions for carefully employing such technology in the turbule

There is consensus within the U.S. Army that the Army Airspace Command and Control (A2C2) system is ineffective in coordinating airspace users to accomplish assigned missions. The two comprehensive studies completed within the past decade cite the basic reasons for its failure as the Army’s inability to follow its own doctrine. However, critically lacking within the studies is an analysis of the validity of the doctrine itself. The current basis of A2C2 doctrine is the primary reliance upon procedural control, essentially de-conflicting airspace through the use of graphical control measures. The question this monograph addresses is not how should the Army improve its current A2C2 doctrine, but should the Army continue to rely primarily on procedural control as the basis of its A2C2 doctrine? In determining the validity of procedural control as the basis for A2C2 doctrine, this monograph is divided into three major sections. The first section addresses what current A2C2 doctrine is and why it came to rely on procedural control. The second section examines the Army’s adherence to current A2C2 doctrine based on the Army’s Title 10 responsibilities to organize, train and equip its forces. The third section evaluates the adequacy of procedural control if it were properly organized, trained and equipped. TRADOC Pamphlet 525-5, Force XXI Operations provides the criteria against which procedural control is examined: compatibility with joint operations; inter-connectivity within Army and joint systems; adequacy for current battle command systems; and adequacy for operations with higher tempos. The monograph concludes that while the environment that the Army operates in has changed since the end of the Cold War, the Army should continue to rely on procedural control as the basis of its A2C2 system. Procedural control measures alone cannot meet the demands of the Army as envisioned by TRADOC Pamphlet 525-5, but they provide a sound basis for airspace management given today’s r

Current and proposed developments in technology will continue to enhance and change the way combat units conduct combat operations on the modern battlefield. This study will assess recent and proposed advancements in automated ISR technologies in relation to the 75th Ranger Regiment. As significant advancements in the area of automation and robotics continue to emerge, they drive the primary research question of how the 75th Ranger Regiment should incorporate new technologies to increase their ISR capabilities during direct action operations. The study will show how the regiment should integrate new technologies in the automated ISR arena by analyzing the research data against the following criteria: unmanned aerial vehicle capabilities, unmanned ground vehicle capabilities, remote sensor capabilities, and level of incorporation within the regimental structure. The final results of the research will be to establish what capabilities Ranger automated ISR systems should possess, what current systems possess these capabilities, and at what level these systems should be incorporated at within the regiment for greatest efficiency and maximum effect.
