The Navy Mission Essential Task List (NMETL) concept
• “NMETL” is very easy to say- but takes an “Intellectual Capital”
investment to comprehend.
Operations
• NMETLs enable a commander to quantify both the level and scope

of effort needed to achieve mission objectives.” (NTTP 1-01, the
-------
Navy’s guidance for doctrine development)
Ref Docs:
• Many new programs are revolving around “NMETL” poles– the
Navy Warfare Training System (NWTS) is just one of them.

DRRS, JCIDS, “T2” all require UNTL knowledge.

• The primary purpose of the NMETL is to be the target and alignment tool
for all improved mission performance.
• The NMETL itself should be improved whenever we can advance the
articulation of the tasks, conditions or standards or supporting commands’
responsibilities.

Mission Training
• METL development for Requirements phase of Joint
Training System (JTS)/ Navy Warfare Training System
(NWTS)
• Training curricula development for Plans phase of JTS/
NWTS- from staffs through collective and unit training
down to individual skills attainment and mastery
• Execution Phase data collection planning, assembly and
analysis- “Value Model Tool” for assessing performance.
• Assessments for reporting readiness, developing
DOTMLP-F solutions, and implementing best practices
and lessons learned.
• Links to Human System Integration and maximizing
human performance

Readiness
• DRRS is MET-based.
• METLs should help us get to “Metrics that matter!”
WWW.DRC.COM
Page 9
Planning
• “New” capabilities used by DOD is “the means to
accomplish a set of tasks to standards under specified
conditions.” Very “MET- like!”
• Adaptive force packaging looks for MET collection and
readiness indicators to match COCOM demands to most
ready and available forces.
WWW.DRC.COM
Page 10
Operations
• METL standards can drive performance.
• Great potential for Enterprise-wide alignment and control
with systems of linked METLs.
• Understanding METLs can match commander demands
with available forces.

Futures
• JCIDS and DOD 5000 series call for “capabilities”
development
• Capabilities now expressed in a “Task-ConditionsStandards” format similar to METLs.
 Capabilities Development – for the Warfighter to execute
mission tasks; for the Trainer to conduct Warfighter
training; for the Test and Evaluation community to
conduct test and evaluation to JCIDS standards.

METLs Development
•
“METL” is new mission performance language
and alignment tool.
•
In DOD, new programs- JCIDS, DRRS,
Training- are employing METLs.
•
“Universal” Process can also be applied to
other federal, state and local government
agencies and installations as well as other
institutions and NGOs.
DRC Services
•
DRC has most knowledgeable and
experienced METL developers
•
Day-long seminars can enable your team to
develop into METL- practitioners
Week-long working groups can assemble your
METL
Other continuous improvement products can
be adapted to your needs

Future UTL for
government-wide applications
• Clausewitz: “War is the continuation of politics by other
means.”
• The Mission Analysis to METL framework can be applied in HLS
as well as Commerce, Treasury, HUD and EPA.
• Therefore, the goal should be to find ways to describe the
sections of the UJTL (Deploy and maneuver; Develop intel.;
Engage the enemy; Sustain; Communicate, Command &
Control; and Protect) in six more universally acceptable groups
that each of these naturally were developed from:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Movement
Learning about the situation
Engagement and employing our capabilities
Sustain
Communicate, direct, coordinate and plan
Protect

DOD Transformation modeled on JTS
process
• Transformation is a Process!
DOD Transformation can be conceptualized as
running on a four-phased “continuous improvement
engine” fueled by lessons learned (Figure). DOD
Transformation’s website describes it thusly:
“Transformation is foremost a continuing process
that does not have an end point. It is meant to
create or anticipate the future…. The overall
objective of these changes is simply – sustained
American competitive advantage in warfare.”
The Defense Readiness Reporting System and all
new joint capabilities require METLs or MET-like
descriptions for expressing mission performance
requirements. The Navy Warfare Training System
(NWTS) employs NMETLs as the basis for fleet
training programs. However, NMETLs are
considerately more applicable, comprehensive and
enlightening than just being used for Fleet training!

Immutable Nature of War vs
its Character and Conduct
• What plans would the historical Hannibal, Caesar or Napoleon
or a modern Nimitz or Burke make to move and maneuver,
gather Battlespace awareness, apply fighting power, sustain,
command and control, and protect their forces?
• When you break it down, their “tasks” were not much different
than what we must do today- just the systems, and our Tactics,
Techniques and Procedures (TTP) have changed to meet the
new threat or operating environment.
• In new DOD terminology, these six areas have been
characterized as the “Elements of Defense Transformation”
and they also represent the “Nature of War” based framework
of the Universal Joint Task List (UJTL).
• Tasks can be described to a “universal” understanding across
organizations and missions. Using conditions and standards,
we transform mere tasks into “METLs” to fit the circumstancesthe character and conduct of war.

• Defense Readiness Reporting System is MET based.
• Key to understanding readiness is good expression of
mission requirement through the MET construct.
• DRC’s knowledge in the mission analysis-to-METL
process is unmatched.

JCIDS
• Capabilities stated using “Tasks, Conditions, Standards”
language of the UJTL.
• Future force structure planning will incorporate METs to
define “capabilities”
• Using “Capability” as the means to accomplish a set of
tasks to standards under specified conditions.
• Now can conceive/design/build/test/man and equip future
force structure to meet the rising challenges and counter
enemy advances.
