ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on Battle Group headquarters, relatively close to the theatre of war. The Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace requires a number of transformations to be undertaken to represent the data. Task analysis is the activity of collecting, analysing and interpreting data on system performance and is one of the central underpinning analysis methods within event analysis of systemic team-work (EAST). Teamwork skills were extracted from the Hierarchical Task Analysis and rated against the Co-ordination demands analysis taxonomy of communication, situational awareness, decision making, mission analysis, leadership, adaptability and assertiveness. Social network analysis is a means to present and describe the underlying network structure of individuals or teams who are linked through communications. The main advantage of the Comms Usage Diagram method is that it provides a detailed analysis of the communications media used in the scenario, which in turn relates to the communications links extant between people.
