What is the focus of Measures of Effectiveness (MOE)?

Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) are primarily focused on the outcomes that reflect the changes in system behavior, capability, or the operational environment resulting from the implementation of a specific course of action or system. MOEs provide a means to evaluate whether objectives are being met and how effectively a system is performing in its intended role. They help decision-makers assess the impact of actions and strategies on broader operational goals, such as achieving mission success, improving capabilities, or influencing the operational landscape.

While assessing task completion rates, equipment reliability, or troop morale and readiness are important metrics in their own rights, they do not encapsulate the comprehensive purpose of MOEs. Instead, MOEs look at the higher-level effects and changes that directly relate to mission objectives and operational effectiveness, making option C the most accurate representation of the focus of MOEs.
