Book excerpt: The specific objectives of the research described are (1) to determine whether decision analysis can be used to structure and analyze decisions of concern to task force commanders, (2) to identify those procedures that are most successful in developing structural decision models, and (3) to develop a protocol for using decision analysis procedures to structure task force decisions. Two experimental applications of decision analysis to a realistic task force decision environment are described. Problems with current task force decision-making methods are identified and suggestions for improvement are presented. A successful structuring process is described at three levels of detail. Implications of the research for the computer implementation of a decision aiding system for task force commanders are presented. (Author).
