Techniques Handling Operational Information During Military Decision Making Process

It is a fact that Decision Making Systems don't always perform up to standard, usually due to lack of operational information, which in turn hinders the experts to make the correct assessments. Systems's efficiency depends on operational value and use of the input data to System. It is of paramount importance for IT engineers (lead to be appeared a nightmare for them), because systems become non-operational and useless and don't facilitate decision making process. In other words, Information Systems may become “Garbage-In, Garbage-Out” systems and collapse, due to chaotic information libraries, and the inability to properly organize and handle additional information. In the present paper, the thematic disintegration of a typical military mission, into sub - missions, is examined as a way to treat the aforementioned issue. In the present, paper, the thematic disintegration of a typical mission, into sub - missions, is examined as one way to treat the aforementioned issue. The operational planning depends each time on the expert's ability, to decide how to face up a mission, based on his experience and available time. A formal mission could be described by following the five questions rule (W5) - Who, What, Where, When and Why. The operational planning during the military decision-making process needs specific operational information, which influences, positively or negatively, all phases of the mission, which in most cases, is dynamic, highly polymorphic, multi-thematic and inherently complex.
