"This research and development effort, called Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation III (COBRAS III), designed simulation -based, structured training for the staffs of the conventionally-equipped brigade combat team (BCT). The effort included designing a progressive approach to presenting and utilizing training objectives. The resulting product was a set of "performance objectives" that provides techniques and procedures for command and staff performance. The performance objectives resulted from and support the purpose of the training, which is to facilitate BCT preparation for combat training center rotations and deployment. The performance objective concept was an extension of the task analysis work conducted during the two proceedings projects. -- COBRAS I and COBRAS II."--DTIC.

"This Orientation Guide acquaints leaders of armored and mechanized brigades with the Brigade Staff Exercise that is part of the Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (COBRA S) Program. Additionally, it provides leaders with sufficient information to decide if and how to include this in their unit training program, by providing an overview. the intent, and requirements of the exercise."--DTIC.
