Performance Effectiveness in Combat Job Specialties: Additional Studies

Abstract

The major finding of this study is that different aspects of performance (as measured by confidence estimates, hands-on performance tests, and SQT scores) could be predicted to a limited degree from a relatively small number of variables. These variables primarily reflect a soldier's specific experience in his crew position. However, significant predictions could only be made for individual tasks; predictions varied for different tasks in any given crew position. Thus, the relationship between a soldier's day-to-day activities and his performance on projected combat tasks, while somewhat more systematic than previously found, is still complex and is task- and soldier-specific.
