Does the Army have Standardized Training. A Comparison of Physical Fitness Test Scores for Five Basic Combat Training Companies.

Abstract

The US Army has been seeking to train its units to the highest level of operational proficiency and standardized on that level. The paper examines the standardization of training using a statistical analysis of physical fitness test scores for five basic combat training companies. The multiple t Test and Snedicor's Analysis of Variance techniques were used. The results showed a significant difference at both the .05 and .01 levels thus indicating that training within the Army is not standard. (Modified author abstract)
