Criteria and their influence on the tactical decision-making of commanders of commanders in operations

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Decision-making is one of the core activities of commanders in operations. This is mainly due to the fact that troop combat actions will only have the necessary focus if a precise and clear objective is set for an operation, and the method of combat action is determined that corresponds to this objective and the conditions of the area of operations. Commanders (with the help of staffs) carry out decision making, or the decision-making process, the most significantly in planning, because decision-making processes lie at the heart of planning processes. To plan combat actions means determining the order, deadlines and means of achieving the upcoming combat objective by subordinate troops, determining the task organization, deciding the manner of cooperation, developing combat support measures and determining the command structure. Commanders’ and staffs’ decision-making consists of the creation and assessment of various alternatives (variants of actions) according to certain aspects (criteria) and their mutual comparison, risk assessment, selection of the most advantageous (optimal) alternative and the adoption of a decision. The decision then expresses the clearly formulated conclusion on the selection (choice) of one of the possible variants of the solution, and becomes the basis for the actions of the controlled military units. Criteria refer to certain aspects derived from the objectives of the operation as set by the superior commander, and serve not only to create a limit framework, but above all to assess the feasibility of the individual variants created. In this paper, the authors focus on the method of deriving (selecting) a set of criteria from the objectives of the operation and their formulation for subsequent use in the creation, analysis, comparison and selection of a variant of action. The reason the authors carefully examine the significance of the influence of criteria on commanders' decisions is primarily the fact that these actions are not elaborated in detail in Alliance documents, which may subsequently affect the choice of optimal variants (decisions) regarding the actions of their own troops in joint (NATO) operations.
