Book excerpt: There is a need to augment existing Army training approaches to address the differential rates and stages of learning evidenced among Soldiers. One way to easily modify existing training approaches is to make adjunct training aids available to trainers for use when appropriate. The fact that basic combat skills represent a heterogeneous skill set and are trained to Soldiers with large variability in skills and knowledge suggests that training aids may have a significant impact when used to train basic skills. This report describes a training-aid development process and provides a brief summary of training aids produced: a set of 200-meter zero targets, two aids to assist in the marksmanship zero process, material to reinforce and practice grid-coordinate skill, and a video capture and playback system. An assessment was conducted for each prototype training aid to determine its training value and to gain feedback for possible revisions. Each training aid contributed to enhanced Soldier performance. Details on the design, development, and assessment for each of the prototypes are provided in separate reports.

Book excerpt: The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could be used by Initial Entry Training (IET) companies to provide timely performance feedback to Soldiers. Training-aid development followed a five-phase process: Design, Development, Utilization, Assessment, and Revision. The training aid consisted of compact and light-weight cameras and projectors to record and playback training events. Drill Sergeants (DSs) from seven different IET companies recorded activities during over 30 training events. Users stated that the camera was useful for collective training events, but not for some of the desired activities during individual training events. Shortcomings included an inability to zoom-in to see close-up details, no means to playback the video in slow motion, and the requirement for an adequate light source to capture a viewable image. The projector was rarely used. In addition, the most prevalent response from DSs was that the rapid pace of the training schedule and the high Soldier-to-DS ratio made it unrealistic to attempt to provide immediate performance feedback to Soldiers. The video capture and playback system did not meet the purposes of an IET training environment, but the research led to an understanding of future requirements for such a system.

Book excerpt: "The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could be used by Initial Entry Training (IET) companies to assist Soldiers in improving map-reading skill proficiency. Training-aid development followed a five-phase process: Design, Development, Utilization, Assessment, and Revision. After developing two training aids, background information and hands-on practice, two IET companies completed the training-aid assessment process consisting of a test immediately following map-reading training, three weeks of using the aids, and a retention test. Low-performing Soldiers scored higher when they used the hands-on practice training aid and all Soldiers benefitted from the background-information training aid. Two separate packets were integrated into a single training packet that included both the background information and hands-on practice. Designing an adjunct training aid to be compatible with various levels of skill proficiency can be effective in improving training. The single pack will allow Soldiers to use the training aid without assistance and, because practice questions are of varying degrees of difficulty, will allow Soldiers at various skill levels to benefit"--DTIC.

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.

Book excerpt: In conventional warfare, support forces (SF) such as military police, engineers, and medical personnel normally operate behind the front lines of a battlefield. But in Iraq and Afghanistan -- both in U.S. Central Command's (CENTCOM) area of responsibility -- there is no clear distinction between front lines and rear areas, and SF are sometimes exposed to hostile fire without help from combat arms units. This report on combat skills training for SF assessed the extent to which: (1) Army and Marine Corps SF are completing required combat skills training; (2) the services and CENTCOM have information to validate completion of required training; and (3) the services have used lessons learned to adjust combat skills training for SF.

Download or read book Retention of Basic Combat Skills by Active Duty Personnel written by and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to obtain data on how well, at the end of each stage of training, the typical infantryman knows the essential combat skills, and on how much of each skill he retains at various intervals after basic combat training. A performance test, composed of subtests in 17 combat skills, was given to approximately 4500 active duty personnel; aptitude area scores were also collected on each man. Among the findings were: (1) In general, level of skill increased with length of service despite the fact that the average aptitude level of the men tested was lower at each successive training stage; (2) Failure of the trainees at every training level to pass more than 70% of the basic combat skills indicates the gap between goals specified by Army Training Program and Infantry experts and average trainee performance; and (3) Retention level was high for all subjects except: Range Estimation, Tactics, Signal Communications, Mine Warfare, Rocket Launcher, ML Rifle Skills, and First Aid. The fact that some combat skills are being learned more effectively at one post and some at another suggests that wider adoption of the most effective techniques might result in greater over-all achievement.
