The U.S. Army Special Operations Command is developing a replacement communications base station known as the Joint Base Station Variant 1 (JBS VI). The JBS (VI) incorporates an automation subsystem not found in predecessor systems. The introduction of the automation subsystem raised concerns about its impact on the military occupational specialty (MOS) and quantity of base station operators. Task analysis and modeling using the Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT) were conducted to assess skill requirements, workload, and mission performance to assist in determining the appropriate quantity and MOS of JBS (VI) operators. The outcome of the analysis predicts that one Special Forces Communications Sergeant MOS 18E, one Record Telecommunications Operator MOS 74C, and one Information Systems Operator-Analyst MOS 74B are an appropriate skill mix to successfully operate the JBS (VI) during a 12-hour shift. With the implementation of this crew complement plus one 18E supervisor, it would be possible for the Base Station Section of the Special Forces Battalion Signal Detachment to be reduced from the current total number of eight to seven personnel.

JOINT BASE STATION VARIANT 1 MOS-WORKLOAD-SKILL REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND

The U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) is developing a transportable

base station. This developmental effort is part of a Special Operations Joint Base Station (JBS)

umbrella program to build three variations to meet the separate needs of the Army, Navy, and

Air Force Special Operations Forces components. The Army variation, referred to as the JBS

Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army

Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed operational detachments.

The technology in the base stations currently used by Army Special Operations Forces is

obsolete, resulting in systems that are unreliable, large, and difficult to transport. The current

systems are manpower intensive with a propensity for inducing operator errors and are

logistically insupportable. Current base stations are not capable of seamless access and

interoperability with emerging battlefield digital networks and communications systems as

mandated by the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) joint C4I architecture.

The JBS (VI) design is intended to provide a modernized capability that will not only

provide communications between the Special Forces base station and deployed operational

detachments operating in remote locations but will also provide a seamless interface with other

communications systems linking the digitized battlefield.

The JBS (VI) vehicular configuration is an integrated system of modular components

installed in a communications shelter. The communications shelter is mounted on a fifth wheel

trailer with extendable tent shelter and built-in generators. Inside the shelter are radio

communications and automation subsystems and ancillary devices that provide secure and

nonsecure voice, facsimile, and data communications (see Figure 1). The subsystems can be

removed from the shelter racks and be installed in two-man lift transit cases for deployment at

semi-permanent locations as shown in Figure 2. The automation subsystem, which does not

exist in the currently fielded systems, will enhance the JBS (VI) capability. The automation

subsystem provides a password-protected multitasking workstation with full network planning

and control functions. It provides a capability to automate the real-time management of seven

communication nets and to network the base station with the operational detachments and other

units on the digitized battlefield.

The incorporation of automation in the design of the JBS (VI) significantly impacts

human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, and training considerations. Of immediate

concern is whether the automation subsystem and associated network management tasks will

require a change in the military occupational specialty (MOS) and quantity of base station

Page 11: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

operators. Maintenance personnel are not a concern at this time because sufficient numbers with appropriate skills are believed to be available to maintain the automation subsystem. In response to the concern for the impact on operators, the Program Manager funded the Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to assess

operator MOS, workload, and skill requirements for the new system.

PURPOSE

Modeling and analysis were conducted to assess workload and skill requirements to help

determine the quantity and MOS of operators for the JBS (VI). This report describes the

modeling and analytical process and its outcome.

MANPOWER AND PERSONNEL CONSIDERATIONS

Table 1 shows the current force structure for the base station section of the Special

Forces Battalion Signal Detachment. The principal operators of the current base station are the

Special Forces Communications Sergeant (SF COMM SGT), 18E and the Record Telecommunications Operator (REC TCC OPR), 74C. The 18E operates all radio communications

equipment to transmit and receive radio messages in voice, continuous wave (CW), and burst radio nets including communications security (COMSEC) devices. The 74C performs the record telecommunications and message center functions, including record management, distribution, and

preventive maintenance checks and services on the vehicle and power generators. In most situations, the base station is operated 24 hours per day on two 12-hour shifts. One 18E and two 74Cs usually staff the base station. The operators are supervised by the Communications Chief

and REC TCC Supervisor.

Neither the 18E nor the 74C has the training or the on-the-job experience to operate the

automation subsystem proposed for the JBS (VI). A review of Army MOSs in Army Regulation (AR) 611-201 (Department of the Army, 1995) revealed that a 74B is trained in the standard skills and knowledge required to perform the tasks associated with the automation subsystem (see Appendix A). The 74B, whose job title is Information System Operator- Analyst, operates multi-user information processing systems and performs analyst and system

administrator functions.

Table 2 shows a proposed base station section staffing to support the JBS (VI). Because the automation subsystem simplifies or eliminates many 74C tasks, it is proposed that the 74C

Page 12: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

E6 and E5 positions found previously in the base station section be eliminated and replaced by

two 74Bs. Because of the reduction in the number of 74C positions, it is also proposed that the

74C E7 supervisor be eliminated. The previous Communications Chief now becomes the Base

Station Section Noncommissioned Officer in Charge (NCOIC). It is envisioned that one 18E, one

74C, and one 74B will operate the JBS (VI) during each 12-hour shift.

ANALYTICAL TOOL

The Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT) is a stochastic

network modeling tool designed to help assess the interaction of soldier and system performance.

IMPRINT is the successor to the Hardware Versus Manpower III (HARDMAN III) suite of

nine separate tools. In IMPRINT, all nine HARDMAN III tools are integrated in a Windows

environment. Both IMPRINT and HARDMAN III are Army-owned software products

developed by ARL. The portions of IMPRINT used on the JBS (VI) study (task network

modeling, workload analysis, and personnel characteristics analysis) were verified, validated, and

accredited (VV&A) in January 1995 (Allender et al., 1995).

In IMPRINT, task analysis is used as a starting point to assess the interaction of soldier

and system performance. The basic task analysis is used to construct a network that represents

the flow of activity during a mission. The network consists of the functions and tasks required

to operate or maintain the system. Each network can include multiple simultaneous networks,

nested networks, and probabilistic branching logic. The JBS (VI) task analysis and networks are

described in the next section, Model Development.

When the model is run, time and accuracy performance data for the individual tasks are

aggregated to provide an estimate of system-level performance. One advantage of IMPRINT is

that it allows the model to be run a number of times; each run represents a different sample of

performance data. Results from the simulation model are reported in terms of mission, function,

and task time and accuracy. The results can be compared to any pre-determined criteria in order

to examine whether results were within the accepted levels of performance.

In addition to the time and accuracy information, estimates of workload can be associated

with each task. When the model is run, the task workload is tallied. In this way, a mission

workload profile for each crew member is generated so that workload distribution, peaks, and

valleys can be examined.

Also, using embedded algorithms, IMPRINT enables the modeling of various effects such

as personnel characteristics (e.g., aptitudes, skill levels) and frequency of training (i.e.,

sustainment training) on task and function performance and on overall system performance.

When selected, the algorithms adjust the expected task times and accuracy, with the degree of

adjustment depending on the type of task. For example, increasing the Armed Services

Vocational Aptitude Battery (AVSAB) aptitude area cutoff score will have a greater effect on a

cognitive task (e.g., recall) than on a gross motor task (e.g., button actuation). The analyst can

Page 14: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

then conduct performance trade-offs by examining how sensitive mission performance is to

changes in levels of personnel characteristics, training frequency, and so forth.

For JBS (VI), IMPRINT was used to assist in determining if a crew of three (one 18E,

one 74C, and one 74B) could successfully operate the proposed base station during a 12-hour

shift. Task, function, mission performance, crew workload, and the effects of personnel

characteristics were examined.

MODEL DEVELOPMENT

The initial step in using IMPRINT is to develop a model representing system operation

and performance. JBS system operation consists of four mission segments: "setup,"

programming, operation, and "tear-down." Each mission segment further consists of functions

and tasks as shown in Table 3. The combat developer and program manager determined that one

function in each of the setup and tear-down missions (transit case setup and tear-down) and two

of the functions within the operation mission segment (transit case mode and automated mode)

need not be modeled. The transit case functions were not modeled because operation in the

transit case mode is not significantly different from shelter operation and transit case setup and

tear-down were not of priority concern at this time. The automated mode of operation was not

modeled because, in this mode, some 74C tasks are not performed. In order to assess "worst

case" workload, only system operation in the manual mode was modeled.

Special Forces soldiers experienced in base station operations assisted in developing

function and task flow diagrams (see Appendix B) and provided performance data for the model

by assigning estimated time, accuracy, and workload to each task. All performance data were

estimated with the assumption that tasks were performed by average soldiers who were trained

and experienced with the system. The time, accuracy, and workload data assigned to each task

are shown in Appendix C.

The first step in estimating performance data was to assign operators to tasks. The 18E,

74C, or 74B, as applicable, was assigned responsibility for performing a task. When necessary,

as in the task of "setting up" the tent extension, multiple operators were assigned to a task. The

74B is a relatively new MOS and is not yet included in the IMPRINT database; however, the

predecessor MOS, the 74F MOS, is. Because all critical data (i.e., AVSAB area and cutoff score)

for the two MOSs are the same from an IMPRINT perspective, the decision was made to run the

model using the 74F but to use 74B label.

The average or mean time to perform each task and an associated standard deviation were

assigned. The standard deviation is used in IMPRINT to generate a distribution of performance

times that includes the fastest and slowest possible times. The mean accuracy and an associated

standard deviation were also provided for each task. The mean accuracy and standard deviation

are related to the difficulty and complexity of a task, with the standard deviation being used to

generate a distribution of highest and lowest expected accuracy. For example, the average

accuracy with which a fault in the automation subsystem can be detected is 97% with a standard

deviation of 1%, but the average accuracy to identify the cause of the fault is 90% with a

standard deviation of 3 %.

In addition to the accuracy mean and standard deviation, an accuracy standard was also

provided for each task. The accuracy standard is expressed in percent and is the lowest

acceptable level at which a task can be performed without having some negative consequence. A

consequence of unacceptable performance could range from having to repeat the task to causing a

mission failure, as the case may be. Accuracy standards were assigned on the basis of how

critical the task is to mission success. For example, the standard for the task of "powering up"

the generator is 100%. If the generator is not operational, the base station is totally inoperable.

The standard for positioning the trailer, however, is only 50% because the position of the trailer

is not critical to successful system operation.

Using these three pieces of information (accuracy mean, standard, and standard

deviation), a probability of success is generated for each task. Basically, the probability of

success is the likelihood that the accuracy standard can be achieved. If the standard is higher than

the accuracy mean, the probability of success will be low; and if the standard is lower than the

mean, the probability of success will be high. As a result, the probability of success for starting

the generator is virtually 100% because it is a simple on-off switch operation, and average

accuracy performance is high. On the other hand, the probability of success for isolating or

identifying the cause of a fault in the automation subsystem, which is more difficult, is only

about 90%.

Workload estimates were assigned to each task using the rating scales shown in Table 4.

In order to run the operations mission segment of the model, branching probabilities were

assigned to the parallel tasks within the radio communications, message center, and automation

and network management functions. The branching probability was used to control the

frequency with which the model would run through each path and was assigned based on how

often tasks occur during typical base station operations.

MODEL ASSUMPTIONS

The following conditions were established while developing the model and setting

prerequisites for running the model.

1. A 12-hour shift was modeled.

12

Page 19: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

2. Radio and message traffic was evenly distributed over the 12-hour shift. Although

peaks and lulls in communications are more realistic, an even distribution was viewed by the

Special Forces subject matter experts (SMEs) to be acceptable for the purpose of this analysis.

3. No time constraints were placed on the completion of tasks. The only system

requirement is that the JBS be established within 21 man-hours.

MODEL OUTPUT

Once each task network was fully developed and all the required task data were entered,

each of the mission segment models was executed from 10 to 500 times in order to obtain

representative sampling of task time, accuracy, and workload data. The setup, programming, and

tear-down mission segment models were run 500 times each. Since the operations mission

segment model was structured so that individual tasks repeated a large number of times, it was

run only 10 times. The outcome of these mission replications is as follows.

Overall Mission Segment Time

The average predicted time for each mission segment is shown in Table 5. Note that since

the operations mission segment was modeled as a 12-hour shift and the model did not allow tasks

to be started that could not be completed during the shift, the missions never ran longer than 12

hours.

Table 5

Average Predicted Mission Time in Hours and Minutes

Mission Average predicted time

Setup 3:48 Programming 3:32 Operations 11:47 Tear-Down 2:46

The only time constraint established in the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) for

the JBS (VI) system is that it be capable of setup within a total of 21 man-hours. The predicted

setup time achieved using the three-person crew is well within the 21-man-hour time constraint.

13

Page 20: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

Since all the models include task time and accuracy variability, ranges of predicted times

were obtained for all the mission segments. The range for the operations mission segment is

small, of course, because of the 12-hour shift constraint. The ranges are also small for the setup

and tear-down mission segments; however, for the programming mission segment, there is quite a

wide range of times. The programming times vary from a minimum of 2 hours and 44 minutes to

a maximum of 4 hours and 40 minutes. The shortest time represents the fastest and most

accurate performance possible, and the longest time represents a possible "worst case," with

many of the tasks having to be repeated because they were not performed accurately enough.

Operations Activity

The average frequency with which tasks occur during the operations mission segment for

a 12-hour shift (based on 10 model runs) is as follows:

Incoming voice communications 101.1 Outgoing voice communications 34.1 Incoming international Morse code (IMC) 1 -3 Incoming digital messages 24.00 Outgoing digital messages 38.00 Troubleshooting 1-5 Adding new addresses or changing user privileges 3.6

The frequency of tasks shown here is an outcome resulting from the probability of

occurrence assigned to the functions and tasks branches of the operations mission segment. In

the opinion of the Special Forces SMEs, this represents a fairly realistic level of activity for a

typical base station.

Workload

Workload for all the mission segments appears to be manageable. Overall workload for

each task was calculated by adding the four individual workload scale ratings. The overall task

workload for each of the three MOSs across each of the four missions segments is shown in

Figures 3 through 6. During setup, work activity for the 18E is constant throughout erecting the

shelter and system antennas. Work activity for the 74C is fairly constant, with some lulls while

the 18E is grounding the equipment, and so forth. The 74B participates early in erecting the

shelter but then has no further tasks. During programming, the 74B works constantly throughout

14

Page 21: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

the mission segment, whereas the 18E works steadily until about the last 20 minutes when

workload stops completely. This may point to a potential for task reallocation to reduce

programming time.

Since tasks repeat many times throughout the operations mission segment, a

the first system "backup," was selected for the workload evaluation. The 18E is busy

throughout because radio communications are the predominant activity. On the other hand, the

74C and 74B experience peaks and valleys. Workload is fairly evenly distributed during tear-

Looking at the workload at a more detailed level for the programming and operations

missions sheds some light on what types of tasks are driving the workload for the different JBS

(VI) crew positions (see Figures 7 through 10). The task workload ratings were graphed for each

of the individual scales: visual, auditory, cognitive, and psychomotor. The workload on each

scale run from 0 to 7. If one task is performed at a time, the maximum workload on each scale is

7; however, if more than one task is performed at a time, then the workload values for the tasks

are added and could be greater than 7.

Figure 10. Detailed workload profile for 74C for operations.

For the programming mission, the workload profiles for the 18E and the 74B are generally

similar (see Figures 7 and 8). The maximum workload is 7. Since, during the programming

mission, the crew members do not perform more than one task at a time, the profiles show that

certain individual tasks are quite demanding. The visual, cognitive, and psychomotor profiles are

similar, although the 18E does perform a few tasks, such as selecting audio or data mode on the

audio equipment, which entail mainly visual workload. The tasks performed by two MOSs do

differ markedly on the auditory profile, however. The 74B tasks do not have any auditory

18

Page 25: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

component at all, whereas the 18E tasks performed on the COMSEC equipment have an

auditory workload component.

The detailed workload profiles for the three crew members for the first hour of the

operations mission segment are shown in Figures 9 through 11. (Note that the times on the

horizontal axis are not uniform but instead represent when events or tasks occurred.) A great

difference can be seen across the three profiles. The 18E is busy throughout the mission, with

frequent high peaks in auditory and cognitive workload and frequent moderate peaks in visual and

psychomotor workload. This is probably a reasonable representation of the 18E workload since

the JBS (VI) will still have a predominance of radio communications.

Figure 11. Detailed workload profile for 74B for operations.

The 74C operations workload profile is marked by fairly constant but moderate cognitive

activity, with periodic peaks of activity in the visual, cognitive, and psychomotor areas. The

74B has peaks of workload when performing the system backups and then later when adding or

updating user addresses, but these tasks are sporadic rather than constant. The 74B does not

perform the constant vigilance-type tasks such as the monitoring tasks performed by the 18E and

74C. Also, in the way operations are modeled here, neither the 74C or the 74B ever has a

workload as high as that experienced by the 18E, who often is performing two or three tasks at a

time as can be seen by workload values in the 10 to 13 range.

In summary, the workload profiles for all the mission segments provide descriptions of

the overall workload requirements of the tasks and also of the timing of the tasks. The detailed

19

Page 26: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

profiles provide a "breakdown" of workload as a function of the individual dimensions-visual,

auditory, cognitive, and psychomotor. The profiles allow the tasks and combinations of tasks of

the JBS (VI) crew members who contribute the most to workload to be identified. Also,

potential for task reallocation can be identified.

Task Accuracy

In addition to the mission time data and the workload profiles, a closer inspection of the

underlying task accuracy performance is informative. The nature and structure of the tasks

performed in the JBS (VI) are such that the most likely consequence of an error is that the error

will be detected and the task repeated until completed successfully. The primary effect of errors,

then, is that task times are lengthened. Although accuracy is important for all JBS (VI) missions,

for the purposes of this analysis, only the programming and the operations mission tasks were

examined for accuracy.

For the programming mission, each task is performed just once. Therefore, if

performance were "perfect," that is, if no tasks had to be repeated to compensate for inaccurate

performance, then there would be no task repetitions. The percentage of times a task had to be

repeated, (i.e., the error rate) was calculated for each task and averaged for each of the two MOSs

who perform the programming mission. The average task error rates are shown in Table 6.

Table 6

Average Programming Error Rates for the Two MOSs

MOS Error rate (percent)

18E 2.16 74B 2.82

This level of performance is certainly within an acceptable level and indicates that some checking

and repetition of programming tasks are expected.

For the operations mission, task performance accuracy and error rate were assessed

differently than for the programming mission. This is because the operations mission called for a

large number of repetitions for most tasks, for example, monitoring for incoming calls or initiating

20

Page 27: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

an outgoing call. Therefore, when reviewing the model output, a task repetition could either be because of sub-optimal performance or because it was simply time to perform the task again. Therefore, for the operations mission, error rate was assessed by directly tabulating the percentage of occurrences that were performed at a sub-optimal level. These figures were

averaged across tasks for each of the three MOSs and are shown in Table 7.

Table 7

Average Operations Error Rates for the Three MOSs

MOS Error rate (percent)

18E 6.37 74B 6.35 74C 2.45

These numbers show that the error rate was slightly higher for the 74B and 18E than for

the 74C. This reflects on the difficulty and complexity of the 74B and 18E tasks compared to those of the 74C and therefore, on the need for higher skill levels and training required for those

two MOSs.

MOS and Personnel Characteristics

To better understand the suitability of the 74B MOS being proposed for the JBS (VI), additional models runs were completed. In IMPRINT, the baseline model is considered to be the average performance expected as a function of an MOS's abilities and the MOS-specific training received. In order to assess the potential impact of another MOS performing the tasks assigned to the original MOS, the ASVAB aptitude area and cutoff score used for selection into the original MOS are changed to match those of the other MOS. IMPRINT then adjusts the average task performance time and accuracy, based on the changes in personnel characteristics when going

from one MOS to the other MOS.

For each of the programming and operations missions, two additional models were run: one with the 74B tasks assigned to the 18E and one with the 74B tasks assigned to the 74C. No additional models were run for the setup and tear-down missions because the 74B tasks were

21

Page 28: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

essentially manual tasks such as erect camouflage nets, which were already performed by the

other two MOSs in the JBS (VI) crew.

The current ASVAB cutoffs for the MOSs in the model are shown in Table 8. (Although

the 74B is not in the IMPRINT library, the predecessor MOS, the 74F, has the identical ASVAB

area and cutoff score.) A cutoff score of 100 is equivalent to an Armed Forces Qualification Test

(AFQT) Category II soldier and a cutoff score of 90 is equivalent to an AFQT Category IIIB

soldier.

Table 8

ASVAB Aptitude Area and Cutoff Scores for the Three MOSs Modeled (SC = surveillance and communication, EL = electronic, ST = skilled technical)

MOS ASVAB aptitude area Cutoff

18E SC 100 74B ST 100 74C EL 90

For the programming mission, the 74B performs three functions, configure CGS 100,

configure matrix switch, and program automatic data controller, which together comprise 11

separate tasks. When those tasks were re-assigned to the 18E, the model predicted overall

performance to be at the same level as when the tasks were assigned to the 74B; however, when

those tasks were assigned to the 74C, performance worsened.

The function-level results for the three MOSs are shown in Table 9. (Data for the 18E

and 74B are combined because the model predicted no difference.) When performed by the 74C,

the configure CGS 100 function took only slightly longer on average (about 1%) but was also

more variable. The range between the minimum and maximum times was about 10 minutes

greater with the 74C than the 74B, or an increase of about 9% between the fastest possible time

to perform the function and the longest. The range for the configure matrix switch function was

also greater when performed by the 74C. Surprisingly, the model predicted a slight decrease in

range for the program automatic data controller function, although the actual difference is small

(only 2 minutes).

Program automatic data controller 0:20 0:21 0:20 0:19

*Data for the 18E and 74B are combined because the model predicted no difference. Times are in hours and minutes

For the operations mission, when the 18E and 74C are substituted for the 74B, there is a

small effect on the time to complete individual tasks that are performed during the 12-hour shift.

Compared to the 74B, averaged across all the tasks, the 18E is about 0.5% faster and the 74C is

about 1% slower. This effect is consistent but probably is not operationally significant.

With respect to error rates for the operations mission, when compared to the 74B, the

18E had a slightly lower error rate and the 74C had a slightly higher error rate as shown in Table

10. The error rates on the individual tasks are also shown in Table 10. The model predicted that

compared to the 74B, the 18E would have a higher error rate on half the tasks and a lower rate on

half. The 74C, on the other hand, had a higher rate on all but one task.

As with the programming model predictions, the predictions for the operations tasks

show a consistent trend in the relative performance of the three MOSs. This outcome indicates

that the personnel characteristics and level of AVSAB aptitude area cutoff scores for the 74B and

18E result in a comparable level of performance. The personnel characteristics and level of

AVSAB aptitude area cutoff score for the 74C result in a slightly lower level of performance.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

An automation subsystem is incorporated in the JBS (VI) to enhance its capability.

Because the automation subsystem does not exist in currently fielded base stations, a concern

was raised regarding its impact on the MOS and quantity of current base station operators. A

cursory analysis of the automation subsystem tasks revealed that neither the Special Forces

Communications Sergeant, MOS 18E nor the Record Telecommunications Operator, MOS 74C,

who operate current base stations, has the necessary training and experience to successfully

perform the required automation and network management tasks. A review of Army MOSs

indicated that an Information Systems Operator-Maintainer, MOS 74B, possesses the training

and qualifications to perform these tasks. Because automation simplifies or eliminates some

current 74C tasks, it was proposed that one 18E, one 74C, and one 74B be included in the crew

of the JBS (VI) during each 12-hour shift in lieu of one 18E and two 74Cs who operate current

base stations.

IMPRINT modeling was used to assist in determining if a three-person crew consisting of

one 18E, one 74C, and one 74B is an appropriate crew complement to successfully operate the

JBS (VI) during a 12-hour shift. The model examined performance by each MOS position in

terms of task times and accuracy. Accuracy performance, as an indicator of task complexity, was

further used to assist in assessing the requirement for a 74B to perform the automation and

network management tasks. IMPRINT modeling also examined the task workload for each crew

24

Page 31: Joint Base Station Variant 1 MOS-Workload-Skill ...Variant 1 (VI), is intended to provide continuous long range communications between Army Special Forces Operational Bases and deployed

position which assisted in assessing the appropriate quantity of operators. The model aggregated

the task level data to provide system level mission performance.

The model outcomes for time, accuracy, workload, and overall mission performance

predict that one 18E, one 74C, and one 74B can successfully operate the JBS (VI) during a 12-

hour shift. The model predictions indicated that the work can be accomplished within expected

time frames and that workload was at a fairly reasonable level, although some peaks and valleys

could be examined more closely. Also, the level of complexity of some of the automation tasks

supports the need for a crew member with 74B aptitude, skills, and most importantly, training

and experience. While the other MOSs may have some of the underlying aptitude or skills, they

currently do not receive any of the type of training that would be required. In summary then,

this modeling effort supports the proposed modification of the base station section of the Special

Forces Battalion Signal Detachment which now would consist of one 18E supervisor, two 18Es,

two 74Cs, and two 74Bs.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The workload profiles point to some potential task reallocations among operators, which

could possibly reduce function times or result in more evenly distributed workload. Of course,

any task reallocations would have to be supported by appropriate cross training. It may be

useful to closely examine the workload profiles to assist in developing JBS (VI) operating

procedures.

An important aspect of fielding the JBS (VI) is the identification of training needs.

IMPRINT can be used to model the effects of frequency of training on task performance and to

identify tasks that would benefit highly from sustainment training.

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)

The U.S. Army Special Operations Command is developing a replacement communications base station known as the Joint Base Station Variant 1 (JBS VI). The JBS (VI) incorporates an automation subsystem not found in predecessor systems. The introduction of the automation subsystem raised concerns about its impact on the military occupational specialty (MOS) and quantity of base station operators. Task analysis and modeling using the Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT) were conducted to assess skill requirements, workload, and mission performance to assist in determining the appropriate quantity and MOS of JBS (VI) operators. The outcome of the analysis predicts that one Special Forces Communications Sergeant MOS 18E, one Record Telecommunications Operator MOS 74C, and one Information Systems Operator-Analyst MOS 74B are an appropriate skill mix to successfully operate the JBS (VI) during a 12-hour shift. With the implementation of this crew complement plus one 18E supervisor, it would be possible for the Base Station Section of the Special Forces Battalion Signal Detachment to be reduced from the current total number of eight to seven personnel.
