Defining and Measuring Military Cognitive Readiness

Over the past ten years, we have been examining the construct of military cognitive readiness. This investigation began by tentatively defining what is meant by the term. This definition included identifying the component constructs of military cognitive readiness. The next steps are to develop measurement operations that can be used to further the research and definition of the construct as well as its application in measuring military readiness. This paper reviews the work we have done thus far and documents the questions that still need to be addressed.
