Army Doctrine
“Leaders must engage and communicate via multiple means
(face-to-face, print media, broadcast media, social media, and
other emerging collaboration technologies) to influence the
perceptions, attitudes, sentiments, and behaviors of key actors
and agencies. Leaders establish themes and messages and may
personally engage key players to ensure the themes and
messages are transmitted and received as intended.” – ADP 6-22

"The Army Warrant Officer (WO) is a self–aware and adaptive technical expert, combat leader, trainer, and
advisor. Through progressive levels of expertise in assignments, training, and education, the WO
administers, manages, maintains, operates, and integrates Army systems and equipment across the full
spectrum of Army operations. Warrant officers are competent and confident warriors, innovative integrators
of emerging technologies, dynamic teachers, and developers of specialized teams of soldiers. They support
a wide range of Army missions throughout their career. Warrant officers in the Army are accessed with
specific levels of technical ability. They refine their technical expertise and develop their leadership and
management skills through tiered progressive assignments and education."(DA Pamphlet 600-3, p. 3-9)

Define Human Systems Integration
Human Systems Integration (HSI) is the relationship between
humans and their environment and how systems are designed
and used relative to that relationship. Human Systems
Integration includes humans, in their different roles in the
system (as operator, maintainer, trainer, designer, etc.).
Systems including hardware, software and processes
(including the acquisition process and the design process),
and the integration of all of these elements to optimize
performance.

Goal of Human Systems Integration
The principle goal is to ensure a safe and effective
relationship between the human and the system that meets
the mission. This systems integration includes; the integrated
and comprehensive analysis, design and assessment of
requirements, concepts and resources for system manpower,
personnel, training, safety and occupational health,
habitability, personnel survivability, and human factors
engineering.

Human Systems Integration
Human Systems Integration, includes several different major
domains, human factors engineering, manpower, personal,
training, habitability and personnel Survivability. However the
quality of Human Systems integration effects all aspects of the
DoD’s ability to perform its mission.

Human Systems Integration
Human Systems Integration is an important aspect of the design
process. Human Systems Integration should be a part of the design
of system from the beginning of the acquisition process. The
human is a part of all DoD systems to one extent or another, as a
result the integration of the system with its human elements will
affect every aspect of the system including its: management,
architectures, logistics, supportability, cost (acquisition and
operations and maintenance costs), readiness, effectiveness,
reliability and disposal.

Human Systems Integration
The capabilities of the human in DoD systems should be part of
the earliest Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and development of
capabilities documents (ICD and CCD). The development of any
systems concept of operations is highly dependent on the role of
the operator in the capabilities and operation of the system.

Human Systems Integration
As a result of contributions from the different domain areas of
system manpower, personnel, training, safety and
occupational health, habitability, personnel survivability, and
human factors engineering, human systems integration
requires complex trade space analysis. These analyses can be
added by modeling and simulation.
