This paper describes the design of an experiment that combines research of the
Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) and the Command 21
programs, both sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The experiment
focuses on the nexus of organizational design and information presentation
strategies – both of which are undergoing dramatic changes in form and function
within the US military. The formation of Expeditionary Strike Groups (ESGs) is
one example of the transformational vision provided in the Naval Operating
Concept wherein an ESG provides a flexible force package, capable of tailoring
itself to a wide variety of mission sets. In this effort, the objective is to examine
experimentally how ESGs with alternative structures and processes – here
specifically related to the incorporation of an ISR officer and different
information presentation strategies – affects performance and information flow in
an information rich planning and execution environment. We present the process
used to develop the scenario environment in which the team-in-the-loop
simulation experiment is conducted. This scenario reflects the new mission areas
faced by ESGs that include Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief (HA/DR),
Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and Maritime Security Operations (MSO).
