Digital communications networks are being procured and fielded by the U.S. Army. Digitization of the force has tremendous potential impact on U.S. Army operations. Used appropriately, digitization shows the potential to give everyone from commander to frontline soldier a near perfect view of the battlefield, and also to increase operating tempo so that tasks that once took hours now take minutes. However, as with any new technology, considerable development is required before it can be used to its best advantage. This report is the first in a series aimed at identifying the best methods for measuring soldiers' proficiency with digital technology. The work described in this report is a portion of research task 234, Defining and Measuring Digital Skill Proficiency, sponsored by Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command's (STRICOM) Project Manager for Training Devices.
