The Mission Centric Human Performance Measurement SubTAG serves as an ad hoc committee in assessing, guiding, and improving the technical investigation among all government agencies involved in operator and crew workload RDT&E. The group reports to the Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group (DoD HFE TAG) as a working level planning and coordinating activity.

SubTAG members will serve as focal points for SubTAG activities within their parent organizations. although information may be obtained by subgroup members concerning the position of an organization on an issue of concern, the inputs of the members will be based upon their organizations. (Official positions will be solicited by respective staff agencies through established management channels before recommendations are implemented.)

The SubTAG will promote the exchange of technical information between organizations involved in the area of operator and crew workload stress, fatigue, cognitive performance, and network science (social networks).

The SubTAG will provide:

• For interagency technical coordination, mutual assistance, and joint exploitation and implementation of mutually required R&D.

• A consistent traceable record of findings and coordinated activities which could serve certain management information functions.

• An established integrating mechanism which could respond to new requirements.

• A forum for commercial and academic contractors to review their capabilities and findings.

• The SubTAG's long range goal is to consolidate workload requirement findings in order to produce standardized workload, stress, fatigue, cognitive performance, and network science (social networks) measurement metrics, methods and procedures.

These tools were developed by ARL HRED through the SBIR process. One tool trains on cultural awareness on multi-national teams while the other trains at the individual soldier level through interactive scenarios representing a cordon and search, or a on patrol. The tool also gives witness to history, useful terms, and the what to do and what not to do. You need an AKO (Army Knowledge Online) password to access the entire website. If you do not already have one, the process and contact person are listed on linked page above.
