A cognitive task analysis of close quarters battle

| Title: | A cognitive task analysis of close quarters battle |
| Abstract: | This thesis contains a well-developed, general purpose, descriptive model for the conduct of close quarters battle. Developers of computer-based, cognitive close quarter battle trainers and the military community at large will find it useful as a thorough descriptive model of this complex task. The analysis begins with a thorough description of close quarters battle and includes not only general procedures and methodologies used but perceptual cues as well. The analysis begins at the individual assault team member level and progresses up to the collective activity of a four-man assault team. Four scenarios are presented showing an assault team conducting close quarters battle in increasingly more difficult conditions. The knowledge representation approach utilized is a highly adapted version of the Goals, Operators, Methods, Selection Rules (GOMS). In addition, some new structures are introduced. The accuracy of the model was validated by interviews with close quarter battle specialists having a broad range of backgrounds. |
