DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis research evaluated four orientation indicators (icons) under consideration for the Commander's Independent Thermal Viewer (CITV). Each icon consisted of three parts: Hull, CITV, and Main Gun. They differed with respect to moving versus stationary parts: (a) Hull stationary with moving CITV and Main Gun, (b) Main Gun stationary with moving Hull and CITV, (c) CITV stationary with moving Hull and Main gun, and (d) all moving parts. Forty-four M1-qualified tank crewmen were tested as tank commanders with a Unit Conduct of Fire (UCOFT) equipped with a prototype CITV. Results of analyses on performance measures and confidence ratings favored the all moving and Hull stationary icons over the CITV and Main gun stationary icons and, with one exception, the all moving icon over the Hull stationary icon. In addition, results of analyses on a preference measure indicated that the soldiers preferred the all moving and Hull stationary icons over the CITV and Main Gun stationary icons, but had no clear preference for either the all moving icon or the Hull stationary icon. Finally, over 40% of the soldiers recommended including a cardinal direction indicator with the icon.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the US Army to succeed in the 21st Century, Soldiers of all ranks must understand and use Mission Command. Mission Command empowers leaders at all levels, allowing them to synchronize all warfighting functions and information systems to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative against a range of adversaries. This collection of historical vignettes seeks to sharpen our understanding of Mission Command philosophy and practice by providing examples from the past in which Mission Command principles played a decisive role. Some vignettes show junior officers following their commander's intent and exercising disciplined initiative in very chaotic combat operations. Others recount how field grade officers built cohesive teams that relied on mutual trust to achieve key operational objectives. Each historical account is complemented by an annotated explanation of how the six Mission Command principles shaped the action. For this reason, the collection is ideal for leader development in the Army school system as well as for unit and individual professional development. Mission Command places great responsibility on our Soldiers.
