Abstract
Recent research in joint military training (Burns et al, 2003) has revealed a potential domain for situation awareness research and practice: the observers and trainers of the military Joint Task Force Headquarters (JTF HQ). A Joint Task Force is composed of a headquarters and military forces from two or more of the armed services. It is established, normally on a short term or temporary basis, to accomplish a specific mission. The size of the Joint Task Force is tailored to its mission. It could involve large scale combat operations or smaller scale humanitarian or disaster relief missions such as occurred in south Florida during Hurricane Andrew. The Commander of the Joint Task Force (CJTF) normally works for a senior military commander such as the commander of a unified or combatant command. The JTF HQ members generate the orders, plans, and reports that direct the entire military operation.
