• Background
• Concept
• Tasks, Conditions, and Standards
• Measures
• Metrics
UNTL BACKGROUND• 1995 - CNO (and other Service Chiefs)
decision to participate, with Joint Staff, in METLs development– Designated NDC (NWDC) as Executive Agent
• 1997 - Universal Naval Task List 1.0 published – as Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard instruction
• 2002 – UNTL 2.0 and CFFC becomes Exec for NMETLs across FFC Claimancy
• 30 Jan 2007 UNTL 3.0 – DRRS covers nearly all operations required for mission success
UJTL/ UNTL TERMS• UJTL - Universal Joint Task List - the
comprehensive list (library) of tasks at the Strategic and Operational and Joint Tactical levels of war plus the service/agency task lists.
• NTTL - Naval Tactical Task List - the comprehensive list (library) of Naval tasks at the Tactical level of war
• UNTL - Universal Naval Task List
UNTL= (MCTL + NTTL)
UJTL = (SN, ST, OP, TA) + UNTL (NTA + MCT)

Universal Naval Task List (UNTL)
Universal Naval Task List (UNTL)
• Common language describes what must be done.
• Identifies the level of war where tasks will be done.
• Lists conditions to describe physical, military, and civil environment in which tasks are performed.
• Lists sample measures and criteria that define standards associated with task performance.
WE CAN ADD TASKS, CONDITIONS, & MEASURES TO THEWE CAN ADD TASKS, CONDITIONS, & MEASURES TO THEUNTLUNTL
UJTL/ UNTL TERMS• Mission - The action required and the purpose.
• Essential - Absolutely necessary; indispensable; critical.
• Task - A discrete event or action, not specific to a single unit, weapon system, or individual that enables a mission or function to be accomplished.
• Mission Essential Task List (METL) - A list of tasks considered essential to the accomplishment of the mission. A METL includes associated conditions and standards and may identify command-linked and supporting tasks.
NMET framework
Perform this task….
…. Under these conditions….
….To this standard.
UNTL Task Library Guidelines• Activities visible outside the command• Doctrinally based- should be able to find same words in
Doctrine/ developing concepts (e.g. “maritime domain awareness” from National Maritime Security Strategy.)
• Discrete events• Don’t define who/ how/ or a system• Don’t describe environmental issues (physical, military,
or civil conditions)• Don’t duplicate an existing task• “Universal”• Feedback to Navy UNTL/NMETLs link at
www.nwdc.navy.mil
CONDITIONS• Conditions are variables of the operational environment or
situation that may affect performance: physical, military or civil.
– Environment is the immediate situation or circumstance in which tasks must be performed (e.g., air temperature)
– Conditions impact the ability to perform a task (e.g., information exchange problems impact the ability to share information with allied/ coalition partners - unrestricted, restricted, highly restricted)
ExampleExample
• Reference Number and Title– C 1.3.1.3.1 Air Temperature
• Definition– Atmospheric temperature at ground level (degrees Fahrenheit)
• Descriptors– Hot (>850F); Temperate (400-850F); Cold (100-390F); Very cold (<100F).
• Definition– Minimum acceptable proficiency required in the
performance of a particular task under a specified set of conditions
• Components– Consists of measure and criterion:
– Measures: Provide basis for describing levels of performance (i.e., miles/hour, percentage, incidents)
– Criterion: Defines acceptable level of performance (i.e., 10 miles/hour, 40%)
• Authority– Defined by multiple sources
STANDARDS
NMET EXAMPLE
PERFORM TASK OF: Interdict Enemy Operational Forces/Targets NTA 3.2.6- to conduct air operations to destroy, neutralize, or delay the enemy’s military potential.
UNDER CONDITIONS OF:• Negligible Light (overcast night)(C 1.3.2.1) - light available to illuminate objects from natural or manmade sources.• Moderate Personnel Fatigue (C 2.2.4.6) - degree to which personnel, due to lack of rest, are experiencing fatigue • Moderate Collateral Damage Potential (C 2.6.7) - degree to which civilian population and structures (and friendly forces) are close to targets
TO A STANDARD OF: 3 Hours to drop ordnance on target after initiation of task 100 Percent of missions flown achieve desired target damage <5 Percent of engagements resulting in collateral damage
• Distinguish among varying levels of task performance
• Allow commanders to establish standards consistent with their mission requirements
• Provide basis for assessment (e.g., readiness assessment)
Task Criterion Measure
NTA 3.2.2 Attack Enemy 90 Percent of targets
Land Targets destroyed
MEASURES
• VALIDITY – Ability of a measure to capture desired performance.– Should support mission success factors.Should support mission success factors.– Measures will drive performance.Measures will drive performance.
• FEASIBILITY – Reasonable ability to collect data in support of the measure.– Should consider, manpower, money, existing Should consider, manpower, money, existing
databases, and technologydatabases, and technology..
• RELIABLE – Ability of the measure to tell the same story each time data is collected.– Need to be able to compare apples to applesNeed to be able to compare apples to apples..
• REPEATABLE – Ability to collect data for the measure each training cycle.– Need a steady source of data.Need a steady source of data.
MEASURES
MEASURES - PERFORMANCE DIMENSIONS
– Time to Perform
– Rate of Movement
– Accuracy
– Completeness
– Durability/ Reliability
– Power
– Cost
– Range/ Mobility
– Lead Time
– Delay Times
– Effectiveness
– Coordination

MISSION
Where do “Metrics” come in?• Performance to NMETL standards must be evaluated
by collecting data against the “Measures” of performance. That is only one set of “metrics” required in a data collection plan. We also need “Conditions” data to understand how to compare the observed performance to the set standard.
• Other places where “Metrics” are needed include – Assessment- Across the force, where are our (community)
strengths/ weaknesses in DOTMLP-F? – Operations Analysis- What other options are available and
how should we value mission task contributions?– Validation- Is the chosen COA producing the desired
outcomes? (Helps to answer “How do we know we’re winning?”)
• Based on Commander’s Intent & Joint/ Navy Doctrine

SUMMARY
• UJTL-UNTL A new “Language”
• Mission Analysis yields Mission Essential Task
List (METL)
• Tasks, Conditions and Standards
• Standards include Measures and Criteria
• Metrics are required above NMETL standards
• NWTS process is a “universal” continuous
improvement model
