DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR MEASURING INFANTRY PERFORMANCE IN MANEUVERABILITY

Abstract

This report describes the work performed to develop a reliable method for measuring soldier performance in the essential ingredients of this task under conditions considered representative of combat conditions. A proposed test course was established as a temporary facility and tested for reliability and sensitivity to differences in clothing and equipment using USAGETA Troops. It was determined that the events comprising the tested course provided a practical and useful basis for measuring the maneuverability of individual soldiers. A modified data collection system is recommended for an integrated field course to be evaluated as the next step in the research program.
