An Analysis of the Divergence between Objective Data and Subjective Opinion of the Combat Effectiveness of Tracer Ammunition.
Abstract
An analysis was conducted of the subjective opinions and objective performance data gathered by this Laboratory in its program of research concerning the combat effectiveness of tracer ammunition. The purpose of the analysis was to formulate an explanation for the difference between the objective and subjective data. The explanation is presented in the form of three hypotheses, and data supporting each are analyzed. The difference in the data is attributed to an alleged discrepancy between infantry doctrine and the behavior of infantrymen under the stree of combat.
