Abstract
The objective of performance measurement is to assess the operational effectiveness of an individual or unit: use of resources to accomplish operational objectives. A continuum of collectives from groups to teams on the basis of organizational attributes is proposed. A shared plan of operation is proposed as the organizing agent of collective performance. Tactical decision making is defined in the context of adaptive problem solving. Although decisions are implemented as procedures, the procedures must be improvised in the situation and adapted to local conditions. Tactical Procedure Scripts are proposed as a structure for organizing performance data into operationally meaning segments for analysis, evaluation, and after action review. Operational and functional processes of GNUTS are differentiated and a three level process model is outlined. A domain model for tactical decision making and the use of behavorial objectives in a test plan are discussed.
