ABSTRACT: The purpose of the Soldiers TTP Toolbox is to assist units and Soldiers in generating or revising tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). The TTP Toolbox provides a methodical, proven approach to TTP development or revision based upon an existing Flexible Method of Cognitive Task Analysis (FLEX) (Shadrick, Lussier, & Hinkle, 2005) further tested and refined during subsequent research (Topolski, Leibrecht, Kiser, Kirkley, & Crabb, 2009). The TTP developmen/revision process involves the use of tactical vignettes in various developmen/revision modes (i.e., environments) to drive discussion sessions from which the unit will capture and organize data relevant to TTP. Ideally, units should progress through three modes (MAPEX/table top, simulation, and live exercise) to increase realism and thereby improve accuracy, add detail, and boost confidence in the session outcomes.
