“…In these instances, Soldiers are required to infer the behavior of other individuals in a variety of operational contexts (day/night, cold/hot ambient temperatures, desolate/busy market places). However, if one is purposely concealing his/her behavior, a Soldier will be required to detect and interpret various nonverbal behaviors/cues (Yager, Strong, Roan, Matsumoto, & Metcalf, 2009;Rosenthal, et al, 2009) and/or use effective judgment (Foldes, Ferro, Vasilopulous, Cullen, Wisecarver, & Beal, 2010). Inferring causality in ambiguous situations is possible, but not foolproof; predicting the future with perfect accuracy is never possible (Taleb, 2007).…”

“…Taking this information and reviewing it along with ARI research already being conducted will greatly inform training on EOF procedures. Two lines of ARI research that could benefit training on EOF procedures involves interpreting non-verbal behavior and cues (Yager, Strong, Roan, Matsumoto, & Metcalf, 2009) and "military judgment proficiency" (MJP) or situational judgments (Foldes, et al, 2010).…”

“…Previous ARI research has demonstrated the importance of NVB in the OE (Yager, Strong, Roan, Matsumoto, & Metcalf, 2009;Rosenthal, et al, 2009). Yager et al, found that facial expressions that were consistent in terms of predicting behavior across cultures, while "emblematic gestures" or deliberate acts, were often carried out unconsciously, and often to conceal deceptive emotional states.…”

“…Nonverbal Behavior (NVB) Impact. Yager, et al, 2009 andRosenthal, et al, 2009 demonstrated that several forms of detection (change, aggression, and deception) are important skills to develop related to NVB. NVB is particularly important for EOF situations, because those cues can inform Soldiers of whether a potential threat is present.…”

The purpose of this report is to explore previous models of Escalation of Force (EOF) and provide a revised model based on pre-decisional cognitive factors that influence Soldiers' decisions prior to engagement in escalation procedures. Previous models were largely reactive, assuming that Soldiers' ability to make decisions was constant across situations (e.g., regardless of cognitive workload or other operational conditions). The proposed pre-decisional space model takes a cognitive-perceptual perspective and focuses on factors that influence information processing. This information processing leads to judgments and decisions occurring prior to engagement in escalation procedures. Further, two previous U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) avenues of research, specifically training on nonverbal behavior and on military judgment proficiency, are recommended as viable approaches to assess the validity of the predecisional space model and as effective approaches for enhancing Soldier capabilities in EOF situations. 15. SUBJECT TERMS Escalation of Force (EOF), Rules of Engagement (ROE), threat detection, irregular warfare SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF 19.
