The METL concepts explained in these pages are collections of work performed both under contract for the U.S. Navy and other DRC mission essential task list development efforts.
The paper entitled “Seven Steps to NMETL Advocacy” should be your initial stop on your METL development journey. (to NMETL paper)
From it, you should comprehend:
METLs are the alignment “Holy Gail!”!
Welcome to NMETLS! What’s Your Mission?
Seven Steps to NMETL Advocacy1. Learn the Framework and the Language2. Drive for the Standard3. Appreciate Conditions4. Grasp “Universal”5. Adopt the Process6. Refine your “Coup d’oeil”7. Apply at every opportunity

The Navy Mission Essential Task List (NMETL) concept
• “NMETL” is very easy to say- but takes an “Intellectual Capital”
investment to comprehend.
• 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)
• 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.
• CNO’s Sea Enterprise message is another call for innovative
leadership into continuous improvement systems and best practices.

NMETLS align and focus all continuous
improvement processes
CONOPS and METLs
Both are products of Mission Analysis
•Going in with no CONOPS, NMETL helps frame it.
•Going in with CONOPS, NMETL helps improve it!
• 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
Page 9WWW.DRC.COM
Readiness
• DRRS is MET-based.
• METLs should help us get to “Metrics that matter!”
Page 10WWW.DRC.COM
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.
Page 11WWW.DRC.COM
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.
Page 12WWW.DRC.COM
Futures
• JCIDS and DOD 5000 series call for “capabilities” development
• Capabilities now expressed in a “Task-Conditions-Standards” 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.

UJTL
• DRC developed earliest versions of UJTL. Most UJTL guidance still in effect today!

UNTL Development and Applied Mission Analysis
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.
Representative Projects
• UNTL-UJTL developers and Navy Task list maintainers
• Navy Warfare Training System program support since inception
• CWC Warfare CDR NMETL development
• NASMP for Navy T/M/S
• CVBG CDR NMETL development
• Aviation T/M/S NMETL development
• JEOD JMETL development
UJTL/UNTL Developer• Universal Task List development and
Integration across federal, state, local and even, international organizations
• Strategic to Tactical experience
• Multi-agency and Departmental capabilities
• Proven Method for Identifying Mission-Essential Performance Requirements
• Integrated Methodology for Improving Mission Performance For Systems and Organizations
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
Page 15WWW.DRC.COM
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

“Sustained American Competitive Advantage in Warfare”
Capabilities-Based Four-Phased ModelRequirements-Plans-Execution-Assessment
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 circumstances- the character and conduct of war.

DRRS
• 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.
Page 22WWW.DRC.COM
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.

Mission and Means Framework (MMF)
• DRC experts understand how to implement the system of systems described by the MMF.
