Task awareness, preparation and execution

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to design Combat Mindset as a communication process, starting from the perspective of Johnson communicational model (1946/1975). Under these conditions, distinguishing between the preverbal stage in the perceptive dimension (as apperceptive preparation for the battlefield) and in the communicative one, we have engaged in making a set of measurements of some mental parameters to identify the level of preparation in accordance with the context. After a series of coordinated experiments, aiming at measuring the mental processing of specific tasks conveyed in English by native and non-native speakers (Panal, 2023), respectively visualizing the activation of brain areas in the mental processing and execution of military commands (Sauciuc, 2023), through this paper we aimed to identify the differences between the preverbal and the verbal or actional stage of the communication act in an exam within the basic military training module in the “Henri Coandă” Air Force Academy, using an EEG headset and specialized software for the appropriate measurement of the indicators regarding the preparation of the mental state in the two phases of the experiment.
