97-17NTC Trends Compendium is a compilation of repeated NTC trends, both positive and negative, along with their associated techniques and procedures, taken from CALL's CTC Trends for NTC. It covers 2 ½ years (ten quarters) of NTC trends (1-2QFY95, 3-4QFY95, 1-2QFY96, 3-4QFY96, and 1-2QFY97).
NTC Trends Compendium contains positive and negative trends that appear more than once in all CTC Trends for NTC during the period covered. These trends and recommended techniques are a compilation of quarterly NTC observer/controller-derived observations and are not based on CALL statistical studies or analysis.
Trends and associated techniques are listed by Battlefield Operating System (BOS) and are grouped into sections, as shown:
SECTION A: Section A is a trends frequency matrix chart. The trends are grouped according to common subject-matter within their respective BOS. The matrix shows the number of times per quarter an observer/controller (O/C) documented a trend or observation on that particular subject-matter.
EXAMPLE:
| TA.5 INTELLIGENCE | 1-2
QTR FY95 | 3-4
QTR FY95 | 1-2
QTR FY96 | 3-4
QTR FY96 | 1-2
QTR FY97 | ||
| Needs Emphasis | |||||||
| 1. R& plan development | X6 | X2 | X4 | X2 | X4 |
In this example, Reconnaissance and Surveillance plan development is "Negative Trend 1" under TA.5 Intelligence Battlefield Operating System (BOS). This means it was reported more times in the last ten quarters (18 times--6 in 1-2QFY95; 2 in 3-4QFY95; 4 in 1-2QFY96; 2 in 3-4QFY96; and 4 in 1-2QFY97) than any other TA.5 negative trend and is therefore listed first, with the other Intelligence trends listed below it in the order of number of times they were reported, highest to lowest. The chart shows at a glance what long-term performance trends have been reported by O/Cs and how many times in each 2-quarter period the O/Cs reported those trends.
NOTE: Battlefield Operating System (BOS) codes, i.e., "TA.5 Intelligence," are based on TRADOC Pam 11-9, Blueprint of the Battlefield. "TA" refers to the tactical level of war. The number "5" is the Intelligence BOS number.
SECTION P: Section P contains "positive performance" trends as they were published in CTC Trends for NTC during the last ten quarters. The recommended techniques are presented in summary format at the end of each subject category.
SECTION N: Section N contains the "needs improvement" trends and associated techniques as they were published in CTC Trends for NTC during the last four quarters. Again, the recommended techniques are presented in summary format at the end of each subject category.
