TROOP-POSTURE SEQUENCES FOR A 155 MM HOWITZER CREW: A PILOT STUDY.
Abstract
The field study investigated an artillery crew's posture sequence under simulated artillery fire. The results relate their posture (e.g., standing or prone) to time after the initial warning. A method of analyzing the crew's exposed area is presented. Conclusions: If troops have even a few seconds of warning, they can improve their defensive postures greatly. When prepared foxholes are available, defensive posture will be quite different with four seconds' warning than with two seconds' warning. (Author)
