Logical Approach to Decisionmaking for the Battalion Commander on the Modern Battlefield (Paperback)


The decisionmaking process is affected by two distinct sides. The first is a factual, logical process which will produce a result completely void of human emotion. The second is an emotional, psychological process which although affected by logic and fact, causes occasional erratic, irrational behavior on decisions. This thesis examines both sides of this decisionmaking process but attempts to offer recommendations on only the logical, factual portion. Emotion and psychological factors have an effect on every decisionmaker. One can easily conclude that if all possible facts are available to the decisionmaker, the decision will be better, more effective and less emotionally involved. A reference book which includes all available decisionmaking methods should be developed which is indexed both alphabetically and by task. When possible, methods should be included as appendices to the reference book. References to doctrine, tactics and philosophy should include where the information can be found. Inclusion of all information would make the size of the document prohibitive. Careful screening of all information available will eliminate redundancy and decrease the size of the document. The purpose of this thesis is to prove the need for such a document. The scope of preparation for this document would require DA approval and support.
