Army Problem Solving Model and The Rapid Decision Making and Synchronization

1. Compare and Contrast the Army Problem Solving Model (Process) with the Rapid Decision Making and Synchronization Process. (C100)

If we draw a parallel between the Army Problem Solving Model (Process) and the Rapid Decision Making and Synchronization Process, which are in basic different methods, we can see a lot of similarities and equivalences.

In the first place, the most important common feature for the Army Problem Solving Model (Process) (APSMP) and the Rapid Decision Making and Synchronization Process (RDSP) are their outcome. The ultimate goal for both processes is to develop the ending decision. In the same way, a join characteristic for the APSMP and the RDSP is teamwork. Equally, these protocols develop to help members of the military organization how to solve their challenges in the group work. Likewise, constantly assessment and consider information is a primary and mutually task for them. In the APSMP, it is important to judge continuously information in every step for better a result. That is the same in the RDSP. Here, for commanders and staffs overseeing and collecting information is crucial because the change can make imbalance what can cause making a wrong decision. In addition, these methods, even use in diverse phases in the APSMP and the RDSP have identical evaluate norms. These norms: feasibility, suitability, and acceptability are standards, which purpose is to accept the solution leads us to a conclusion. Finally, common affair for the APSMP and the RDSP is that these processes did not finish when commanders made the decision. These processes conclude the work when we elucidate the problem.

In contrast, there are many differences. In the first place, that is the purpose of these me...

...cision, each command has a different way and uses a different chain of command. Because of that, every structure has to rehearsal its process of make a decision before a mission. In addition, a country, which takes part in multinational command, is responsible for support of its national forces. Furthermore, the Multinational Command Structure is a mosaic of national interest and politics’ wish. Every country has its rules of engagement and its national goals and reason why decide to participate in the operation. Finally, each Multinational command represents the structure of an alliance or coalition. NATO is the example of the alliance and the Integrate Command Structure. This alliance is the example of the treaty for long-term goals. The coalition is more relate to the Lead Nation Command and the Parallel Command. These commands express short-term goals.
