JRTC Priority Trends is a compilation of recurring (priority) positive and needs emphasis JRTC trends and associated techniques and procedures. Extracted from CALL's CTC Trends for JRTC, this publication is second in a new series of such compilations and covers one year (four quarters) of JRTC trends (4QFY96, 1, 2 & 3QFY97).
JRTC Priority Trends highlights positive and needs emphasis trends that appear more than once in all CTC Trends for JRTC during the period covered (in this case, four quarters). (Note: refer to the Trends Frequency Matrix.) The trends are listed in order of priority, based on the number of times they were repeated. It is important to note that these trends and recommended techniques and procedures are a compilation of quarterly JRTC observer/controller (O/C)-derived observations. These trends are not based on CALL statistical studies or analyses.
JRTC Priority Trends and associated techniques are listed by Battlefield Operating System (BOS), and are grouped into major sections as shown:
Section A is a matrix chart of all the priority trends within their respective BOS. The chart shows the number of times per quarter an O/C documented that particular trend/observation. This matrix covers a period of 11 quarters, with a vertical line indicating the last four quarters specifically addressed in this compendium.

1. The Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) process and application |
In this example, Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB) process and application is a "Positive Trend 1" under TA.5 Intelligence Battlefield Operating System (BOS). This means it was reported more times in the last 11 quarters than any other TA.5 positive trend, and is, therefore, the number one priority. It was reported six times in the last 11 quarters (one in 1-2-3QFY95; one in 4QFY95/1QFY96; two in 2-3QFY96; one in 4QFY96/1QFY97; one in 2-3QFY97). 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.
Sections P and N contain the positive and needs emphasis trends as they were published in CTC Trends for JRTC during the last eight quarters. A summary of the recommended techniques for all observations pertaining to a single priority trend appears immediately following the observations for that trend. The techniques for each priority trend are compiled from the O/Cs' recommendations to improve battlefield performance. Some are intended for implementation during mission execution. Others are meant to be trained at Home Station.
