Device-based Training of Armor Crewmen
Author: Gary A. Moody
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History

Pages : 142
Book Description
Using the Abrams Tank Crewman One-Step Unit Training as a case study, this study identifies alternative approaches for individual training and analyzes their cost implications. It suggests that although the current course's content and length is consistent with job requirements in the initial duty assignment, more efficient training techniques can be used in resident instruction. The analysis shows that many armor-specific tasks currently taught using tanks can be taught using training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS). In addition, the amount of computer-based training (CBT) can be increased in basic training. Expanded use of TADSS to replace training on vehicles can provide substantial savings in operating and support costs, but the level of costs and savings depends on how the devices and course changes are implemented. If new trainers and simulators must be developed and procured, savings will be cut. The study also found that savings differ across devices. Although substituting TADSS for tanks appears cost effective, the evidence for CBT is mixed.

Design Institutional and Unit Sustainment Training Programs for XM1 Armor Crewmen
Author: Charlotte H. Campbell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
In an effort to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency of initial and sustainment training of XM1 armor crewmen, the Army is exploring the use of simulators for driving and tank gunnery. Assessment of transfer of training to operational equipment and estimation of the predictive validity of proficiency on a simulator are addressed empirically by the Army's operational testing system for device evaluation. The purpose of this report is to present the products prepared in response to the Task 1 and Task 2 requirements for Mission-Based Simulation and Training Requirements to design institutional training for XM1 driving and gunnery, and unit sustainment training for XM1 gunnery. Specifically, three products are presented: Capabilities analyses for XM1 armor crewman training devices; Recommended training program for XM1 armor crewman institutional training; Recommended unit sustainment training program for XM1 gunnery. (Author).

Mission-Based Analyses of Armor Training Requirements. Volume 4. Crewman Tasks Performed During Tank Platoon Operations
Author: Richard E. O'Brien
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
A detailed analysis was conducted of armor operations to provide the basis for developing a set of platoon drills for combined individual and collective armor training. The analysis provided information on the stages of armor operations, the individual and collective tasks that are performed during each stage, training objectives for these tasks, leadership tasks that are performed during each stage, and the types of factors that affect armor operations during combat. Keywords: Armor; Tanks(Combat Vehicles); Army Training; Platoon Operations; Tank Crew; Platoon Drills; Crew Tasks; Tank Commander; and Mission Analysis.

A Progressive Resistance Weight Training Program Designed to Improve the Armor Crewman's Strength
Author: Bradley W. May
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The duties of a tank crewman are physically demanding. If a tank crewman is stronger, he will perform his job better, easier, quicker, and safer. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is the design of a weight training program to improve individual strength which will result in enhanced performance. While U.S. Army physical fitness manuals contain substantial information on weight training and principles of strength training, current doctrine does not address the specific needs of armor crewmen in the performance of their tasks. Because there is no standardized or sample weight training program, each soldier must design his own plan by selecting exercises from the manuals. The goal of my research is to bridge this gap by synthesizing this information into a prototype program.

Book Description
This report documents results of a research project entitled Future Individual Training Strategies. The overall project objectives are to identify and assess alternative training strategies that may be more efficient and affordable than current techniques for conducting Army individual training, with special attention given to resident training conducted in U.S. Army schools. Here the authors present results of one of three case studies of specialized skill training in an Army military specialty. Each case study examines current job requirements and training approaches, identifies alternative methods of conducting training consistent with new Army training concepts, and analyzes resources, costs, and potential consequences of changes in training strategy.
