STUDY OF THE PRESENT STATUS OF TRAINING AIDS AND DEVICES IN THE ARMY FIELD ARTILLERY TRAINING PROGRAM

Abstract

A study was made of the following artillery operations: (1) Conduct of observed fire, (2) Fire Direction Center, (3) Flash and sound ranging. The training device recommendations growing from this study have as their purpose the reduction of time and costs and the increase of training effectiveness. Five performance areas warranting device development were isolated. The objectives, skills and knowledges to be taught, responses to be elicited and scoring and validation requirements are listed for each device area. The Recommendations Section of this report contains a brief description of each of these device recommendations. The appendices contain detailed descriptions and rationale.
