(2) The TE staff gathers accurate information, makes it available to the TE commander, other TE decision makers and staff members in time to be of use in executing the mission. (3) The TE staffs' analysis of information results in sound assessments that match the actual situation; recommendations to the TE commander which are feasible, suitable, acceptable, and in time to assist his decision making process. (4) No breakdowns in the TEs' ability to maintain clear communications with higher, adjacent and subordinate head quarters.

"The purpose of the research was to document the synchronization required by command and control tasks performed within the armored brigade, to include CS/CSS 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 Trainer. 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 user's guide, and assessment packages for the BFs."--DTIC.
