Book Description
In preparation for the Force XXI (FXXI) Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE), the U.S. Army Experimental Force (EXFOR) (4th Infantry Division), located at Fort Hood, Texas, has been provided a unique synthetic training environment for training units in the use of command and control systems and use of the Tactical Internet. The training environment uses a combination of legacy Simulation Network (SIMNET) devices along with state of the art simulations. Together these systems have provided the EXFOR with the capability to train personnel at various levels. Training scenarios specifically for a digitized force were developed to support the SIMNET-Applique training environment. The training scenarios varied from Platoon to Company level. At least fourteen M1 tank and four M2 Bradley simulators are available for training. Each of these simulators has been modified with Applique hardware/software as well as radio models Single channel Ground and Airborne Radio System - Systems Improvement Program (SINCGARS-SIP) and Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) and position/navigation aids to provide a realistic simulation of the Command, Control, and Communications (C3) capabilities these vehicles will have in the Task Force XXI (TFXXI) AWE. Surrogate nodes consisting of 'table-top' Applique systems provide additional key nodes as required.

Book Description
Force XXI is the process of changing the current industrial age Army into the information age Army of the twenty-first century. This paper examines two questions about Force XXI. First, is Force XXI grounded in the National Security Strategy and National Military Strategy of the United States? Second, since one of the three components of the National Military Strategy involves fighting as a joint force, how well is the Army doing at building a joint-capable twenty-first century Army? Based on an examination of the Force XXI literature and working documents, as well as conversations with proponent Force XXI directorates, the author concludes that Force XXI is well grounded in the national strategy of the United States, but that while the Army's intent is to build a truly joint-capable Force XXI Army, the mechanisms and process to do so are not fully in place. The author ends with four recommendations based on his examination.

Book Description
A large step toward Information Age war-fighting was completed in March at the Army's National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, Calif. The Army's Experimental Force (EXFOR)-the world's first digitized ground force, the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized)-deployed to the harsh conditions of the Mojave Desert at Ft. Irwin for an intensive, realistic war-fighting exercise against the NTC's vaunted Opposing Force (OPFOR), the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. The exercise was the culminating event of the TF XXI Advanced Warfighting Experiment (AWE)-a key part of the Army's Force XXI process of continuous experimentation and transformation which will result in Army XXI-the digitized force for the 21st Century.

Book Description
"This report discusses tile Army's initial research into converting Force 21 Training Program (FXXITP) products to meet the increasingly pressing training needs of digital battle staffs. The report describes tile activities and outcomes of tile U.S. Research Institute for tile Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) Force 21 Training Program Digital (FXXITP-D) project. The project developed an approach that supports tile conversion of existing training products in order to meet new training needs. During tile project, the conversion approach was employed to research and enact conventional to digital conversions of selected FXXITP products, including tile Battle Staff Training System (BSTS) and Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (COBRAS) vignettes, Brigade Staff Exercise (BSE), and Brigade and Battalion Staff Exercise (BBSE). In addition to tile conversion approach and prototype digital training products, tile project identified a number of lessons for tile continuing development of digital training and the digital force."--Stinet.

Book Description
This human dimensions assessment quantified the impact of changes in the work environment of soldiers and leaders who participated in the brigade level task force (TF XXI) Advanced Warfighter Experiment (AWE). The TF XXI AWE investigated the potential for digitizing land combat forces through the fielding of new technology equipment and accompanying changes in organizational design, tactics, techniques and procedures. Surveys and structured interviews were used to assess soldier and leader perceptions of TF XXI, the work environment, and organizational outcomes. The major finding is that as soldiers and leaders became more familiar with the new technology and its use, they were less threatened by it, and appreciated more the positive impact it would have on them, their units, and the Army as a whole. The findings also underscore potential problems with a number of different but clearly interrelated human dimensions. One example is the new career opportunities created by this technology within but also outside the Army, and the possible impact of these opportunities on Army wide personnel retention and recruitment programs. This study contributes to the requirement to define, quantify, and record empirical information to more fully understand and respond to the human dimensions of the Force XXI program.

Book Description
The U.S. Army has moved along the path of preparing for the 21st century. This process began with the conceptual examinations and assessments carried out under the "Louisiana Maneuvers" and the Army's Battle Labs, and matured through the Force XXI process. The Army recently completed its first series of Advanced Warfighting Experiments that will shape the redesign and restructure of the future force, Army XXI, for the early years of the new millennium. While the broad outlines of Army XXI have been sketched out, many of the details remain to be filled in. Undoubtedly, these efforts will be influenced by the recent reports of the Quadrennial Defense Review (May 1997) and the National Defense Panel (December 1997). Indeed, debates over details of the force structure and the ultimate size of the Army are not likely to abate any time soon. To assist in the further conceptual development, Dr. William T. Johnsen places Army XXI in a broad strategic context. He briefly examines the anticipated international security environment and the roles that the U.S. Armed Forces and the Army can be expected to perform. He then assesses a wide range of general factors that will influence the capabilities needed to carry out the anticipated roles. Finally, he examines general and specific criteria that can be used to determine the appropriate size of Army XXI.
