336 Military Communications and Information Technology... should be seen as one of the three main stages of the LL process. The recommending process involves three main stages: • preparation of recommendations, • implementation of recommendations, • monitoring and updating of the recommendations (recommendations management). Recommendations propose changes in regulations, the system of training and doctrines, based on the analyzed experiences (which are obtained as daily observations of the daily missions). The quality of recommendations is largely determined both by the competent collecting of information about events and the results obtained in a complete analysis of the collected observations. The development of appropriate recommendations to a large extent determines their use in theory and/or military practice. Each phase of this process is dependent on each other. Therefore, it is worth noting, that the major determinants of the generation of added value in the LL process is the interdependence of particular LL phases. Interdependence is manifested primarily through the presence of many couplings, mainly between phases. The results obtained from the preceding phase are the base point (input data) to implement the next phase. The primary objective is to produce a recommendation during the recommendation process. The intermediate objectives of this process are consistent with the objectives of the SIMS, project, i.e. improvement of the following processes: • mission planning, • and execution of missions. Achieving these objectives implies the development of a formalized document that contains a parametrised recommendation. This means that such a document (Recommendation) should include, among others the following content: • defined and measurable goal of recommendations, • tasks to be executed, • boundary conditions of these tasks. Expected results of implementatin of this phase of the LL process allow to: • increase the effectiveness of the mission, • increase the level of situational awareness in the daily missions, • verify and improve the methodology referring to the interpretation of documents concerning the operations of the army – in particular for recommending changes which will enhance soldiers capabilities: ✓ tactical (following Rules of Combat ROC) ✓ operational-tactical (the development of mission plans/planning process) ✓ strategic (improving doctrine), • increase the effectiveness of training (for example, new content will be introduced in training programs, there will be more case-s, and many diverse instances of their use will be discussed).

337<br />

A recommendation shall be a formal document <strong>and</strong> should be composed<br />

of three main sections:<br />

• header,<br />

• body (appropriate recommendation),<br />

• signature/authorization.<br />

In the header section the following fields should appear:<br />

• name of the recommendation (e.g. streamlining procedures for the identification<br />

of ID),<br />

• reference of the recommendation (e.g.: Rec/14/2011/F2,F3,F4)<br />

✓ Rec – recommendation,<br />

✓ number of recommendation,<br />

✓ YYYY year in which the recommendation was developed,<br />

✓ a phase (phase) of the mission recommendation (optional):<br />

■ F1 – prior to the planning phase of the mission,<br />

■ F2 – the planning phase,<br />

■ F3 – the training phase,<br />

■ F4 – the execution phase,<br />

■ F5 – the mission evaluation phase,<br />

• the recommendations creation date, writens in a suitable format (e.g. YYYY.<br />

MM.DD/2011.04.18),<br />

• place of issue (e.g. Pol<strong>and</strong>, Poznan),<br />

• originator of the recommendation,<br />

✓ rank, name <strong>and</strong> surname (e.g. Sgt. John Doe),<br />

✓ originating institution / organisational unit (e.g., the General Staff<br />

of Army / Department of Strategy <strong>and</strong> Defence Planning),<br />

• recipient (recipients) of recommendations:<br />

✓ Country / unit name (e.g. Afghanistan / 6 Logistic Base),<br />

✓ An institution / organisational unit (e.g., the General Staff of Army /<br />

Department of Strategy <strong>and</strong> Defence Planning),<br />

• a concise description (a few sentences of description what the recommendation<br />

refers to).<br />

General knowledge of the recommendation phase in the process of constnt<br />

learning at the stage of implementation manifests itself with specific problems<br />

which have a very complex structure <strong>and</strong> form an immense intellectual challenge.<br />

It seems obvious that organisations should benefit from processing the knowledge<br />

related to historical events. Such events should be well-documented <strong>and</strong> include<br />

both positive <strong>and</strong> negative aspects.<br />

IV. LL tool functions <strong>and</strong> architecture<br />

The SIMS LL tool is assumed to be used for effective gathering of observations,<br />

processing them <strong>and</strong> applying the results of this process within military structures.
