Briefing on Performance and Proficiency Testing of Organizational Track Vehicle Mechanics and Maintenance Sergeants,
Abstract
The performance of organizational track vehicle mechanics (TVMs) in four types of tasks-testing, troubleshooting, adjusting, and inspecting-was tested by an eight-hour test of 30 individual exercises. Army organizational maintenance Sergeants and Senior Track Vehicle Mechanics with less than one year, one-five years, and over five years on the job were also tested to determine how proficiency changes with experience. Results of tests indicate that mechanics trained in the TVM course were superior to the on-the-job trained men. Findings also indicate very little gain in proficiency with increased years of experience on the job.
