New Products from CALL

As we finally start to think about leaving winter behind, CALL is gearing up for several key collections this spring. A team will collect observations at Joint Readiness Training Center rotation 22-05/Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center rotation 22-02 on the efficacy of home-station training events reinforced with combat training center enablers. These events are also a prime opportunity to collect on specific proponent topics of interest for the Centers of Excellence. In April, another team will participate in Global Defender Phase I which links the Mission Command Training Program Warfighter Exercise 22-4 and National Training Center rotation 22-06 for a distributed, multinational, interoperability-focused exercise. We are excited to see what these collection teams will observe and write about upon their return. Finally, we expect to launch the “How We Fight” interactive, multimedia-training tool for corps and divisions by the end of March. Stay tuned to CALL’s social media (Facebook and Twitter) and https://hwf.army.mil/ for news and updates on its release.

22-678 Division RDSP in LSCO: Observations and Methods.

In recent Warfighter exercises (WFXs), higher headquarters (HQ) affected division planning by placing constraints on division operations. Typically, this was to allow for corps shaping efforts in the corps-level deep fight to ensure synchronization of maneuver efforts or to rebuild combat power. Competing complexities, the enemy vote, and the higher HQ's guidance, drive the same action: division staffs must quickly reassess the situation to determine the viability of the original plan. The complexities of the large-scale combat operations (LSCO) environment drive divisions to execute the rapid decision-making process (RDSP) instead of the military decision-making process (MDMP). Changes to plans occur in such a truncated timeframe that to fight and win at the pace of war, divisions must be able to plan and synchronize operations rapidly. While Army doctrine notes that MDMP seeks the optimal solution, RDSP seeks a timely and effective solution.
