During the period of 20-25 October 2008, a training research exercise (TREX)
was conducted to integrate operational concepts and training techniques from different
commands. The collaborative teamwork demonstrated in the highly asymmetric threat
exercise scenario was recorded in Microsoft internet relay chat logs across fifteen
different chat rooms. The goal of this thesis was to use chat room recorded data from the
Air Operations Center to evaluate a measurement model of macrocognition developed
under the Collaboration and Knowledge Integration program, sponsored by the Office of
Naval Research. The model focuses on team member’s cognitive processes used during
collaboration with the goal of trying to understand how individuals collaborate to build
new knowledge and accomplish their tasks. Effective chat communications may expedite
the process of moving the team towards achieving their ultimate goal which was to
produce optimum combat effectiveness in a timely manner. Thesis results will be
provided to the Office of Naval Research to help improve collaboration among teams
while operating in stressful and dynamic environments.
