Tactical orders production in a fast paced, time sensitive, combat situation requires warfighter operations officers to be firmly grounded in doctrine, tactics, unit structure and capabilities and highly proficient in the use of digital communications equipment. Currently, military service schools and unit-level staff training programs do not provide a low overhead, train anywhere - train anytime process, but instead are time-consuming, resource-laden undertakings. The need exists for a low cost, time efficient process for the development of tactical orders production skills. This paper presents a training system design using software applications developed for the U.S. Army's next generation training simulation, One SemiAutomated Forces Objective System (OOS), and digital communications equipment found in Army brigade-level tactical units called the Maneuver Control System. Enhancement of tactical orders production skills will be achieved by requiring the operations officer to develop and digitally transmit a doctrinally correct operations order within time limitation using actual wartime procedures and technology. A 'train up' period will be required emphasizing doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures, orders formatting, battlefield synchronization and use of the communications equipment. Evaluation will be accomplished utilizing several of One Semi-Automated Forces Objective System (OOS) software applications designed for command and control interface, military scenario development and after action review. This 'learning with technology' approach provides for Army-wide application and lends itself to a broader Department of Defense use by integrating joint-service language and operational graphics designed for automated communications in an intra/inter-service environment.
