THE SYNCHRONIZATION OF HUMAN DIMENSION FACTORS IN DETERMINING MILITARY COMMAND CLIMATE

Abstract

easured to complement the combat readiness factors. Despite recognition by military leaders throughout history that the human dimensions of capability are crucial to operational effectiveness, formal assessments of the psychological aspects of readiness appear to be the exception rather than the norm in today’s military forces. Technology can provide the tools and avenues by which wars are fought but it is the individual soldier on the battlefield facing life and death who remains a constant.This paper looks at the literature on the synchronization on all the human dimension factors to complement the combat readiness to establish the combat command climate of a military organization. The paper promulgated that there is a need for quantitative assessment through questionnaires in all the human dimension factors which must be tabulated to individuals in organizations which includes a scoring worksheet to indicate the level of readiness both combat and human dimension readiness before being deployed for military combat duties. 112
