Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force members who do not routinely cross a defended perimeter when deployed may not have received sufficient training for doing so when they need to. The authors conducted surveys and interviews to determine the kinds of experiences airmen have had "outside the wire," worked with subject-matter experts to categorize them and suggest training levels, and developed a series of recommendations for course content and further areas for study.

Book excerpt: Air Force senior leadership has recognized the need for all airmen to possess a set of skills that will enable them to survive and operate in an expeditionary environment. This monograph provides the results of three connected analyses toward proposed training changes to build the future expeditionary airman. The first analysis used as its starting point a proposed training curriculum for common battlefield airman training (CBAT) developed by the Air Force Directorate of Operations (AF/A3O) and the Air Education and Training Command, Technical Training Division (AETC/A3T) for airmen within seven Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) who operate outside the perimeter of an air base. These include combat controller technicians (combat control teams [CCTs]), pararescuemen (PJs), security forces (SF), terminal attack controllers, combat weathermen (battlefield weather teams [BWTs]), and specialties associated with explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE). In this analysis, the authors examined how CBAT affects the existing curriculum for these seven AFSCs. The second analysis used the results of the first to develop a CBAT plan of instruction (POI). Using this estimated POI, they computed CBAT resource requirements (e.g., training areas and devices, classrooms, and instructors) using the RAND Schoolhouse Model. The third analysis consisted of a survey of individuals in previously deployed, non-ground combat Air Force specialties to develop a list of incidents they faced in high-threat environments. Using these data, subject-matter experts were able to develop a list of training categories to prepare non-ground combat deployers for these situations.

Book excerpt: USAF par rescue and combat controllers routinely recover downed or injured military personnel and direct military aircraft in hostile or denied regions. Consequently, to be effective in these careers requires the ability to cope with severe stress. The USAF uses many strategies to ensure that battlefield airmen perform well under stress but one strategy, termed stress inoculation training, has not been fully incorporated as a training element.

Download or read book Analysis of Medical Events Among Battlefield Airmen Trainees written by M. Maupin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States Air Force Battlefield Airmen (BA) are an elite group of largely enlisted, male warfighters whose duties require a substantial degree of physical and mental strength, agility, stamina, and discipline. The numerous financial, material, and personnel resources required to train this group feed into a multi-location training pipeline, which can take up to 2 years per trainee to complete. The majority of those who enter the training program do not complete the program, and a subset of these noncompleters (about 15%) is related to medical events. Secondary data analyses were performed on existing training data to determine a timeline of medical events within the pipeline. Descriptive analyses were conducted to determine the number of individuals in pipelines, median pipeline length, graduation rates, number of medical events, and median day of medical event. For the 3-year period from 2008 to 2010, there were 2,837 BA who started training pipelines. Median pipeline length (in days) for graduates ranged from 105 to 708 and graduation rates ranged from 1% to 60%, depending on the career field. For nongraduates, medical events occurred as early as 5% of the way through the pipeline for one career field and as late as 30% for another career field. Medical events were characterized by examining data from the Military Health System Mart for clinic visits near the event dates and summarizing the types of medical diagnoses found. Of the 600 individuals with medical events in the 3-year period (21% of the total pipelines), 73% had corresponding medical events in the Military Health System Mart. The most common diagnosis categories were diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue and injury and poisoning. The largest subcategory within musculoskeletal diseases was disorders of the joint, most of which were joint pain of the lower leg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Laslie chronicles how the Air Force worked its way from the catastrophe of Vietnam through the triumph of the Gulf War, and beyond.” —Robert M. Farley, author of Grounded The U.S. Air Force’s poor performance in Operation Linebacker II and other missions during Vietnam was partly due to the fact that they had trained their pilots according to methods devised during World War II and the Korean War, when strategic bombers attacking targets were expected to take heavy losses. Warfare had changed by the 1960s, but the USAF had not adapted. Between 1972 and 1991, however, the Air Force dramatically changed its doctrines and began to overhaul the way it trained pilots through the introduction of a groundbreaking new training program called “Red Flag.” In The Air Force Way of War, Brian D. Laslie examines the revolution in pilot instruction that Red Flag brought about after Vietnam. The program’s new instruction methods were dubbed “realistic” because they prepared pilots for real-life situations better than the simple cockpit simulations of the past, and students gained proficiency on primary and secondary missions instead of superficially training for numerous possible scenarios. In addition to discussing the program’s methods, Laslie analyzes the way its graduates actually functioned in combat during the 1980s and ’90s in places such as Grenada, Panama, Libya, and Iraq. Military historians have traditionally emphasized the primacy of technological developments during this period and have overlooked the vital importance of advances in training, but Laslie’s unprecedented study of Red Flag addresses this oversight through its examination of the seminal program. “A refreshing look at the people and operational practices whose import far exceeds technological advances.” —The Strategy Bridgei

Book excerpt: Since 9/11, U.S. military forces have sought to adapt to an expanded battlefield -- one in which rear areas are no longer considered safe and secure. As a result, both the Navy and the Air Force determined that, in order to prepare to operate more effectively in combat, servicemembers in specific occupations required additional standardized combat skills training in such areas as land navigation, first aid, and weapons qualification. The Navy has developed and implemented the Expeditionary Combat Skills course for select Navy personnel. To provide similar training, the Air Force began planning its program. This report is an analysis of these programs. It also identifies lessons learned applicable to efforts to establish new training programs. Illus.
Download or read book Cross cultural Skills for Deployed Air Force Personnel written by Chaitra M. Hardison and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of its strong interest in providing airmen with the cross-cultural skills that have grown ever more essential to successful mission accomplishment in foreign environments, the Air Force asked RAND to provide a foundation for the design of a comprehensive Air Force program of cross-cultural training and education. RAND researchers responded by first creating a taxonomy covering all behaviors relevant to cross-cultural performance after the need for such a taxonomy became evident from a review of the literature on cross-cultural performance and discussions with Air Force personnel. From this taxonomy, the researchers developed a framework of 14 categories of cross-cultural behaviors--nine categories of enabling behaviors and five of goal-oriented behaviors. This framework was then used in designing a survey for 21,000 recently deployed airmen that asked them to rate the importance of the behaviors to their deployed performance and the helpfulness of training they had received in the behaviors (both over their careers and just prior to deployment). Respondents were also asked to indicate how much training they had received. Recommendations and suggestions for the design of a comprehensive program of cross-cultural training and education and for further research steps were made based on extensive analyses of the results, which included determining whether training needs differed by AFSC, grade (enlisted/officer), and deployment location.
