Abstract
One of the primary training tools available to a Unified Commander-in-Chief (CINC) for
training his staff on their joint mission essential tasks (JMETLs) is a command post exercise
supported by a computer simulation model, commonly referred to as a Computer Aided Exercise
(CAX). Currently, little quantitative data are captured during the exercise allowing for quick postexercise
analysis of critical staff processes inherent in the CINCs exercise training objectives.
The objective of this thesis is to develop an exercise analysis methodology for evaluating the
execution ofjoint tasks during the conduct of a CAX. Specific objectives are first to demonstrate a
methodology for developing quantifiable measures of effectiveness (MOEs). These MOEs must
reflect the hierarchical structure of tasks given in the Universal Jomt Tasks List (UJTL) as applied
to three levels of war (vertical linkage), and functionality considerations between related enabling tasks (horizontal linkage). The second specific objective is to determine methods to capture task
performance data within the design of the simulation This is intended to support the exercise
analysis by capturing critical decisions, assumptions, and causal factors which, in turn, lead to
observed scenario outcomes. This objective involves demonstrating the methodology in an exercise
conducted utilizing the Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS). The effort in this thesis is focused
exclusively on joint tasks involving force protection, particularly air defense, of a battlegroup in the
littoral region, however, the principles of the methodology are applicable to the entire spectrum of tasks in the UJTL.
