About this Item

Neuware - The US Army's doctrinal problem solving method is the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP). This formal process is tailorable in application and serves as a standard guide for developing solutions to operational and tactical problems by Army organizations. MDMP application requires specific information to make decisions, to develop courses of action, and to issue orders. Because the MDMP relies on information, information management, and decision making are critical relative to time. The Army Battle Command System (ABCS) is a suite of networked digital components designed to give commanders a better perspective of their operating environment to make D1better informed decisions. Current MDMP doctrine does not specifically account for ABCS components populating decision-making tactical operations centers at battalion, brigade, and division or higher levels. ABCS components supports deliberate MDMP planning, but may require newly defined decision-making processes to guide how information exploitation can be leveraged over networked battle command systems. Alternate decision-making models may include Recognition Primed Decision Making; Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act (OODA) as defined by Colonel John R. Boyd; or other emerging processes tailorable to the short reaction time required during combat operations in the contemporary operating environment.
