Development of an Individual Extension Training System for Managing and Conducting Training in the Army Unit

Abstract

The work reported here was accomplished during the first year of a contract to develop a performance-based system for the conduct of individual training and evaluation in Army combat units. The work was conducted in concurrently running development and research phases. The development phase (1) determined the current approach to the conduct of individual skill training and evaluation by the subordinate units of an Army combat division; (2) determined the resources (time, material, personnel) available to a division for such training and evaluation; (3) developed a model for accomplishing the Army's training objectives under real-world resource constraints; (4) designed a prototype system for accomplishing training and evaluation for a representative sample of job tasks for the Light Weapons Infantryman (MOS 11B) and the Indirect Fire Infantryman (MOS 11C) at EPMS Skill Levels 1 and 2; and (5) developed and pilot tested instructional, evaluation, management, and record keeping techniques and materials to support the system in a subsequent field test.
