Abstract
An investigation was made of how two different experimental tools could be used to investigate an Army tactical commander's decision-making process. The procedure was to use a single decision; the Army battalion/task force com- mander' s decision to mass supporting artillery on a trigger area/kill zone, and investigate the variables that affect the decision. The experimental tools used were a questionnaire, in which an experiment on this decision was completed and the interactive computer wargame, JANUS, which was described and investigated for its usefulness in analyzing tactical decisions.
