THE EFFECTS OF A 'QUICK KILL' UPON TRAINEE CONFIDENCE AND ATTITUDES.

Abstract

This study was designed to determine the effects of 'Quick Kill' training on the confidence of basic combat trainees and on their attitudes toward various phases of basic rifle marksmanship (BRM), and to learn drill sergeants' opinions of Quick Kill. Groups having Quick Kill in their BRM training were compared to those who did not have it. Trainees were administered pre- and post-training questionnaires on attitudes toward BRM and Quick Kill training, and toward firing the service weapon. Subjects were 824 basic trainees at five different U.S. Army training centers. (Author)
