This master’s thesis explores the impact of Tactical Adaptation and Coordination Training (TACT) on team performance within high-stress naval environments. The author examines how structured training protocols can improve coordination and decision-making among personnel in Combat Information Centers. By analyzing simulated tactical scenarios, the research provides empirical evidence that teams receiving specific coordination training outperform those relying on intuition or standard procedures. The thesis is valuable for its detailed methodology and focus on the transition from individual skill to collective efficiency. It serves as a foundational document for understanding the Tactical Decision Making Under Stress (TADMUS) project’s early implementations. While the data reflects early 1990s technology, the principles of team synchronization under pressure remain highly relevant to modern military and emergency response units. This source is essential for researchers looking for the academic and experimental roots of modern tactical training frameworks.
