Influence of Seniority on C2 (Command and Control) Experimental Performance. Revision

摘要

This report examines the influence of seniority on performance during a command and control (C2) effectiveness experiment and is based on data obtained during the third in a series of experiments designed to examine the influence of C2 organization on system performance. The experiments are part of a larger program, whose purpose is to define, measure, and identify determinats of C2 effectiveness. The experimental effort is jointly sponsored by the Defense Communications Agency and the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), with actual experimental trials being conducted in the NPS C2 Wargame Analysis and Research Lab. using NPS officer-students as experimental subjects. This set of experiments compared the performance of higher and lower echelons (i.e., Fleet and Carrier Battle Group roles) in the conduct of planning and battle management tasks and also examined the impact of role and specialization of C2 performance.
