In complex command organizations (e.g., military command and control centers, homeland security incident response groups), close coordination of ad hoc and quasi ad hoc teams of teams is required for effective outcomes. Understanding the dynamics of the individuals, teams, and organizations responding to complex and urgent tasks can provide leaders with key insights into the performance of those groups, and can lead to improvements in training and education. Information about these dynamics is embedded in communications occurring simultaneously through several mediums (e.g., face-to-face, telephone, radio, e-mail) used throughout an exercise or event. To leverage this information, a set of non-invasive social and informational monitoring technologies was deployed to capture the behavior and interactions of participants in Costal Trident 2009, a live multi-agency response exercise run by the U.S. Navy's Center for Asymmetric Warfare. Costal Trident consisted of two half-day exercises at the Port of Hueneme, CA, which is a shared civilian and military port. The scenario required collaboration across city, county, civilian, and federal agencies. The exercises included both (1) a simulation of a multi-agency distributed Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and (2) an in-the-field simulation of an Incident Response organization coordinating the activities required for a multi-faceted homeland security incident. Interaction data was collected from e-mail, telephone use, and face-to-face communication (using the MIT Sociometric Badge). With the data collected we were able to identify multiple performance and diagnostic indicators of individual and agency interactions. The results of the analysis and the implications for training and education are presented. Application of this approach introduces a broad range of possibilities for assessing performance in situ and in facilitating the response of diverse organizations to real world challenges.
