Armor and Cavalry National Guard Training Constraints.

Abstract

This report describes the conduct and results of part of a project to develop training plans for Armor and Cavalry Reserve Components which use the M48A5 tank. The purpose of the present report is work to identify the constraints that might affect designing and delivering training for Armor and Cavalry National Guard units. Survey data suggests several implications--which will be used later in the project--when new training is designed for Armor and Cavalry National Guard units: (1) Efforts to improve precision in defining, measuring, and reporting 'qualification' should continue; (2) Consideration should be given to having at least one tank at each armory; (3) New training for the M48A5 should: (a) Be deliverable, as much as possible, at armories, (b) Capatalize on similarities between M48A5 tasks and M48A1/A2 tasks, (c) incorporate increased use of subcaliber devices at armories, and (d) Not include central roles for TASO and Mobile Training Teams in delivering instructions.
