FOREWORD
Over nearly twenty years, one of the products most requested from the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) has been a pocket-sized job performance aid called the Combat Leaders' Guide (CLG). The ARI Infantry Forces Research Unit created the first edition of the CLG in 1985, followed in 1987, 1991, 1994 and 1997 by updated versions. The CLG has been formally printed and reprinted by ARI and by the U.S. Army National Guard.
The Combat Leaders' Guide: Leader IHandbool< 2003 is the latest version of a prototype memory jogger to be used by trained Soldiers. The CLG is designed to assist in recall of the steps or procedures of selected common tasks. It was made to fit in a Soldier's cargo pocket. It is printed on water-resistant paper and is durable under most environmental conditions. The CLG supports unit readiness by providing leaders with doctrinally correct tactical and technical information in a quick, easy to access format.
The current product includes some new and some updated tasks. Earlier editions of the CLG have been distributed to thousands of Soldiers throughout the world, and it is in use in both Active and Reserve Component tactical units during deployments, at home station, and at the Combat Training Centers. It is also available at the ARI Website, www.ari.army.mil.

COMBAT LEADERS' GUIDE: LEADER HANDBOOK 2003
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Research Requirement:
In 1985 the Training Technology Agency at the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), requested that the Infantry Forces Research Unit of the U. S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) develop a pocket- sized job performance aid to be used by trained military personnel under periods of fatigue and stress. The CLG was to be a reminder, a memory jogger to help them recall previously learned material. The resulting Combat Leaders' Guide (CLG) was developed, printed and reprinted many times. This report describes the history of the CLG, and describes and provides a copy of the most recently updated version.
Procedure:
Copies of the most recently published 1997 version of the CLG were taken to selected personnel at the Fort Benning U.S. Army Infantry School for their detailed review. Suggested changes were incorporated into the new guide, and a few new items were added. Field Manuals and other training documents were examined for potential new materials.
Findings:
The 2003 version of the CLG is, in many ways, identical to previous editions. Each reproduction tends to correct errors or incorporate changes to terminology from previous versions. In this version, some areas (e.g., the Operation Order) have been expanded for clarity. Others (e.g., the chart on fluid replacement during continuous operations) are entirely new. Basically, however, the CLG is as originally designed - a useful memory jogger for the trained Soldier.
Utilization of Findings:
A limited number of hard copy CLGs has been printed, and they will be distributed. There are many individuals and units that have asked to be added to a distribution list for copies of the CLG if ever it were to be reprinted in large numbers. The 2003 CLG will be sent to them. The present paper, with the CLG at Appendix A, will help others go to the web site so they can download and print their own copies.

Combat Leaders' Guide (CLG): Leader Handbook 2003
Introduction
In 1985, the Training Technology Agency at the U.S. Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) provided the initial funding for a prototype job performance aid modeled after the British Aide Memoir. The Infantry Forces Research Unit of the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) at Fort Benning, GA developed the resulting product, entitled the Combat Leaders' Guide (CLG). The intent of the undertaking was to make available a standardized job performance aid for previously trained Soldiers to use as a memory jogger. It was not designed as a training aid.
The contents of the CLG are the performance steps of basic tasks on which an individual has previously been trained but on which refreshers or reminders may be needed. Some steps may have been forgotten. Even simple tasks, when not performed on a regular basis, are potentially subject to proceduraLdecay, especially over time. Also, performance may be degraded when a Soldier is fatigued, or under the stress of combat, or combat-like training. The CLG offers reminder materials in an easy-to-read, simple, quick reference format. The CLG is a generic guide that requires little updating, and is appropriate for Soldiers of any military occupational specialty or branch.
Although useful for leaders at any rank, the CLG is designed specifically for the small unit leader at squad or platoon level. Most tactics, techniques, and procedures learned in training are not included in the CLG, and only tasks that are not time sensitive are included. If the task must be memorized like a drill, and performed immediately, without time to look it up in a book, it is not included in the CLG. The CLG is a compilation of useful reminders and checklists, and can also be used as a classroom guide to assist an instructor in performance of teaching responsibilities.
Original Prototype CLG
In 1985, ARI printed the original brown-covered CLG, Combat Leaders' Guide: Rifle Platoon and Squad (Winn, Evensen, & Salter, 1987b) as a test product. The CLG was based on an extensive front-end analysis of basic military tasks and missions. A list of over 450 combat tasks was examined to see if they would benefit from a job aid. From the original list, 195 tasks were formatted for the first CLG. The tasks were rewritten in simple terms, and placed in checklist or worksheet format for easy comprehension. The tasks were printed on waterproof paper, and the book included a calculator, and a pencil to be used in completing CLG checklists. Plastic pockets were included so new materials could be added to the Guide, and a clear plastic grid square was provided to assist in map reading. The follow-on Authoring Guide (Winn & Evensen, 1988) documented the clear decision rules used for task and format selection.
The authoring guide was intended to assist future developers in building new CLGs, or adding special materials tailored to their specific organizations, or unit missions.
Nearly 1300 copies of the first prototype CLG were distributed along with feedback questionnaires to officers and noncommissioned officers of all ranks from both the Active and Reserve Components (AC and RC). Additional review copies were provided to retired officers and training developers from various TRADOC schools. Some units used the CLGs as job aids during field exercises. Analyses and summaries from the returned questionnaires (nearly 50%) were reported in Evensen, Winn, and Salter (1988). The approval rate was very high and many of the original recipients requested additional copies (Salter, 1988).
In 1987, a gray covered Combat Leaders Guide - Platoon Leaders, Platoon Sergeants and Squad Leaders (Winn, Evensen, & Salter, 1987a) was printed. It incorporated many of the suggestions received on the first CLG, to include the recommendation that the original brown cover was too heavy. The new gray book was encased in a flexible plastic cover rather than the rigid plastic of the original. The solar powered calculator and the mechanical pencil, included with the first CLG, were also removed from this second version. The page numbering system was revised and made more user-friendly. The new book immediately received accolades, and a large number of requests came to ARI for some of the 2500 copies printed. Feedback from Soldiers suggested that a great part of the CLG's appeal was its compact size, with information in an easy to read quick reference modular format.
The CLG was beginning to enjoy such wide exposure that requests for the product came in from AC units in Korea and Germany. The RC units that received some of the original CLG shared them, and spread the information to other units and other states. The job aid was seen as particularly useful for National Guardsmen who, although well trained, have less practice time than AC units. Several military schools and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs also asked for copies to be used as job aids to support initial military training. Although ARI's intent had been to develop a prototype product, the prototype was so successful that it became an end itself. In 1990, the CLG was reprinted, as the previous supply had been totally exhausted. The second printing was again 2500 copies.
However, despite its obvious success, ARI was forced to cancel the CLG project after the second printing due to lack of sponsorship and funding. TRADOC was not willing to adopt the Guide as part of the doctrinal literature program. The unusual format Gob aid, not a training aid and therefore without tasks, conditions and standards) and the fact that the materials in the CLG were derived from materials already in the doctrinal literature program became a issue. The generic nature of the book and its high unit cost (over $10.00 per CLG) created an insurmountable problem. Although most military personnel liked the CLG, and recognized the need for it, no branch school was willing to become the proponent and assume the costs of updating and printing. From the time of the first CLG through the 1990 reprint of the 1987 version, ARI tried without success to find another agency to sponsor, fund, revise and publish the CLG.
The Impact of Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm
As more and more units, both AC and RC, began to deploy in the late summer of 1990 for Operation Desert Shield, ARI received an increasing number of requests for the CLG. Units requested multiple copies of the CLG, for leaders at all levels. Immediate requests came from Forts Stewart and Riley, and from units at Fort Benning. Georgia and the Mississippi Army National Guard (ARNG) called up in support of Desert Shield requested large quantities of CLGs to assist in support of their train-ups. Requests also came from Individual Ready Reserve units located at Fort Knox and from selected RC units called up for Desert Storm. Many of these units were specialty units (Military Police, Transportation, etc.) that knew they needed refreshers and job aids on basic tasks. After responding to these new requests, and to those from units already in Saudi Arabia, the ARI supply of CLGs was completely exhausted.
In response to the need articulated by the requests that continued to come in, ARI developed a new version of the CLG, and pre-tested it with surveys administered to Soldiers from the Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana ARNG during their mobilization training at the National Training Center (NTC). After they returned from the NTC, Soldiers from the Georgia Army National Guard were interviewed in small focus groups about the CLG and its potential uses. The new edition, revised and updated, was entitled Combat Leaders'Guide: Leader Handbook {SaWer, 1993a). This book had fewer pages, and in response to Soldier requests, was fastened with circular rings to hold the pages together, replacing the screws of the original two versions. Incorporating user feedback and suggestions, some content was changed to make the book more useful. A few items inappropriate for the primary audience of platoon leaders and below were deleted; some additional material was incorporated. The revised materials, as suggested by the Soldiers of the Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana ARNG, were evaluated by senior personnel from the Infantry School and from the Ranger Training Brigade at Fort Benning, GA. (See Salter, 1993b.) The new CLG, produced due to the demands of Operation Desert Storm, was given a tan cover to distinguish it from the two previous brown and gray versions. The original printing was for 5200 copies.
The U.S. Army National Guard Printing
The CLG was proving so useful to the ARNG that in late 1993 the office of Fort Benning's Special Assistant to the Commanding General, Army National Guard quickly reprinted the CLG: Leader Handbook. The primary audiences for this reprint were the ARNG Infantry battalions, although state Officer Candidate Schools received many copies to be used in support of officer training. The CLG was instantly successful, even as printed on plain paper. Almost immediately it was reprinted for the ARNG on the special CLG paper, and continued to receive extensive distribution. As word spread that the Fort Benning ARNG office and ARI had copies, requests came in from worldwide locations, from both reserve and active duty units. The ARNG printing totaled over 20,000 copies, all funded by the ARNG.
When the supplies of the 1993 CLG were depleted, the CLG was once again updated and revised, with the assistance of the local ARNG office personnel. Personnel from throughout Fort Benning, especially within the Infantry School, reviewed this version for accuracy and content. The new version, Combat Leaders' Guide: Leader Handbook 1994 (Salter, 1994) was a success. There were very few modifications to the earlier versions of the CLG although new materials were added to reflect changes in the kinds of operations in which Soldiers were participating. The new sections on Risk Assessment, Rules of Engagement, and Peacekeeping, encompassed stability operations and security operations. The 1994 CLG, again printed by the ARNG, was given a forest green cover. This version was reprinted, on plain paper, and distributed until supplies were again exhausted. The total number printed is unknown, but supplies were rapidly exhausted.
In 1997, the Fort Benning ARNG office and ARI together developed another updated version of the CLG. As before, Soldiers from throughout Fort Benning participated in the editing and correction process, to ensure accuracy and completeness. Very few changes were made, although some tenninology and weapons capabilities were upgraded. Some charts and diagrams were edited for clarity, and some pages re-ordered to make the book more useful. The Combat Leaders' Guide (CLG): Leader Handbook 1997 (Salter & Martin, 1997) was printed in hard copy, first on regular paper with a camouflage-type green and black cover and then on the special paper. The title and date show the continuity with the four previous books and the Fort Benning ARNG office provided funding.
Only a small number of CLGs were printed due to the high cost, but for the first time, the 1997 version of the CLG was made available on the Internet at the ARI Web Site, www.ari.armv.mil. According to ARI personnel who tracked Internet interest, the CLG had become the most often downloaded item on the ARI page. Several Soldiers called ARI with the intent of creating new CLGs, or recreating and then printing the existing one. According to comments from individual Soldiers, this proved too daunting a task, and little success was achieved. Throughout the next several years, all callers were referred to the Internet version, with suggestions as to how to download it, laminate selected pages, etc., to make it more user-friendly. Local reproduction was encouraged, and many units were provided the "how to print" information so that if successful at receiving funding, they could duplicate the CLG. (As far as is known, only the NTC was able to print its own CLGs; in the late 1980s they printed 1000 for internal use by the resident Opposing Force unit.)
Description of the 2003 Update ofttie CLG
Although requests for the CLG continued from 1997 on, in late 2002, ARI again began to receive a higher volume of messages asking for CLGs. Many were from individuals and units preparing for deployment. Fortunately, ARI was able to receive some funding to update and print the CLG to respond to the increasingly frequent appeals. Many requests came from units on peacekeeping missions; others began to
come in when operations started in Afghanistan and then Iraq. Review copies of the 1997 CLG were provided to personnel in the U.S. Army Infantry School, primarily to Soldiers in the Combined Arms and Tactics Department. They provided changes and suggestions for updates, always mindful of changing Army missions. The CLG received a careful edit, and was reviewed in detail by several former service members. Thus, in early 2003, the CLG again received an update, and a final printing of approximately 1800 copies.
A copy of The Combat Leaders' Guide: Leader Handbook 2003 is provided at Appendix A. It will also be made available for download from the ARI website, www.ari.armv.mil. In its original hard copy, it is about 4" by 5 %", small enough to fit in the uniform cargo pocket. It has limited numbers of words per page, in relatively large black print. The tasks are presented usually in checklists or in stepwise sequence. There are a few charts and diagrams. The tasks described in the CLG are organized into sections, and provide simplified forms of materials found in the Soldier's Manuals. Although there is a table of contents and all pages are numbered, users can tab or reorder the pages based on their mission or specific job.
The pages of the original hard copy are made from water and tear resistant latex covered paper. The 2003 version of the CLG uses a commercially available paper called Rite in the Rain Writing Paper, available through Government sources and from its distributor at www.RiteintheRain.com. The CLG has holes punched at the top end of each page, and %" metal rings are inserted so the user can open and fold the book completely open upon itself. The rings also permit addition and deletion of pages to suit the user's needs. New pages can be created if needed, then laminated and inserted. As with previous versions, a clear pocket is included for insertion of new materials. There is also a plastic grid square with 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 gridlines. The square is used as an aid in map reading, or can be used as a straight edge. The inside back cover reproduces a Call for Fire Card; the inside front cover also contains a centimeter and an inch ruler. The 2003 CLG has,114 pages of text (printed front and back). In a departure from tradition, the 2003 CLG is printed on tan paper with tan covers.
Status of the Combat Leaders' Guide
The CLG product provides a trained leader with the steps required to perform many common leader tasks in a quick reference, easy to read format. More than 50,000 CLGs have been distributed to Soldiers for use at home station, during deployments, and for use in field exercises, unit evaluations, and at each of the Combat Training Centers. The CLG has gone on stability and support operations, and has gone to war with Soldiers. Users have been supportive of and responsive to the CLG as evidenced by the continuing individual and unit requests received by ARI.
The potential drawbacks to the CLG remain much the same as they were in 1985. There will always be a certain amount of disagreement on the CLG's contents and the emphasis given to each subdivision within the Guide. General concurrence with a specific section often corresponds to the individual reviewer's current job
description or subject matter expertise. Tiiis issue has been resolved somewhat by limiting the substance of the CLG to a wide range of basic core skills and tasks. Where the audience for specific content would appear to be limited, it has been removed. The intent was always to provide a generic job aid that requires little updating, one that can be used by any Soldier in any job.
While the CLG has found devoted users across all ranks and functional areas, the intended primary target audience for the CLG is probably the company level leader and below, especially the platoon leader, the platoon sergeant and the squad leader. Battalion level Soldiers have other sources of information and staffs have ready access to job-specific manuals and publications. Instructors at any level may use the materials, however, as a hip-pocket job performance aid or as reference in a classroom setting. The CLG is easily adaptable, and can be used by personnel from combat arms, combat support, and combat service support units.
The CLG is still, after nearly 20 years, designated a prototype item, and although it is totally based on doctrinal materials, it Is not a part of the doctrinal literature program. Local reproduction has always been both authorized and encouraged as the CLG is very expensive to produce, and will therefore always be in very limited distribution. Although there is are no fomrial requirements for job perfomance aids for small unit leaders, requests persist for copies of the CLG from individuals and from units. The Combat Leaders' Guide obviously responds to a Soldier need.

INTRODUCTION
The Combat Leaders' Gtdde is both an extract of ctoctrlnat pubiicatior» and a con^ilation of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). It is principally designed as a pocket reference and memory-jogger.
Some TTPs you have learned in training do not appear tiere. The material in this job aid comes from the doctrinal literature program.
Laminate pages to be written on; remove, reorganize or tab pages based on your mission; insert other job wds, TTPs or standing operating procedures (SOPs) as needed.
