Cost of Achieving Squad Overmatch by Training Resilience and Situational Awareness Skills that Optimize Human Performance and Discourage PTS and Suicide

Abstract

In an effort to enhance Soldier performance, the FY15 Army Study Program awarded the Armys Maneuver Center of Excellence and The MITRE Corporation funds to conduct a study on squad training in Programs of Instruction and Programs of Record. This report summarizes the study teams process and recommendations for inserting human performance enhancement skills (resilience,performance enhancement, and advanced situational awareness) into existing Army programs. Ultimately, this should improve institutional and operational training and develop more adaptive, resilient, and lethal squads. Using a cost-benefit analysis approach, the team identified and evaluated several courses of action for enhancing Programs of Instruction and Home Station Unit Training.
