Determination of combat job requirements for armored cavalry platoon personnel

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to formulate the job requirements of personnel assigned to armored cavalry platoons and find out the importance in combat of each job in order to know which skills should be emphasized during training. Field personnel rated prepared lists of platoon personnel job requirements for their importance in combat. Final lists included only the duties and skills the field personnel rated essential for combat or for basic performance of the job. The lists are felt to be useful for giving students a preview of their jobs, evaluating platoon efficiency, diagnosing and correcting deficiencies, and developing and standardizing proficiency tests for armor schools, training establishments, and armored cavalry units.
