- Title: Rethinking The Development of MCTs Summary: Mission Critical Team Institute researchers spent close to a year collaborating on how to rethink the front end of the MCT developmental pipeline. Our investigation focused on developing methodologies that can develop individuals to navigate rapidly emergent immersion events AND engage in a lifelong pursuit of happiness. Those who choose the hard path to serve their country should not have to sacrifice their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health in exchange. We can do better.

- Dissertation Mission Critical Teams: Towards the Creation of a University Assisted, Mission Critical Team Instructor Cadre Development Program Summary: Between 2008 and 2016, the Instructor Cadre’s from a number of Mission Critical Teams engaged in a collaborative inquiry process to examine ways to help Mission Critical Teams more fully engage as learning communities. Mission Critical Teams (MCT) are being defined a Small (4-12 agents) integrated groups of indigenously trained and educated experts that leverage tools and technology to resolve complex adaptive problems in an immersive, but constrained (five minutes or less), temporal environments, where the consequence of failure is death or catastrophic loss. The research resulted in a proposed method for more effectively reviewing a Mission Critical Event Lifecycle a plan for the creation of a University Assisted Mission Critical Team Instructor Cadre Development Program.
