Armor/Anti-Armor Team Tactical Performance

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out to determine the effectiveness of REALTRAIN engagement simulation training and to identify tactical team performances associated with mission accomplishment. Eight armor/anti-armor units received a pretraining tactical test, 5 days of tactical training using either REALTRAIN or conventional methods, and a postttraining test. REALTRAIN units were more likely to accomplish their mission. Successful units displayed sound tactical behavior in planning the attack, initial deployment, use of cover and concealment, surveillance, and use of firepower, regardless of type of unit or mission.
