Improved Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP) Methods for Unit Evaluation. Volume 4. Guidance for Planning and Conduct of Company-Level Field Exercises. Engagement Simulation Technical Area
Abstract
This document provides guidance for exercise planners and evaluator/ controller teams responsible for planning and conducting platoon and company tank/mechanized infantry field exercises. It contains a command planning guide that addresses basic ARTEP training/evaluation principles, choice of missions, scenario development, evaluator/controller selection and training, sequences of exercise events and monitoring of the evaluator/controller team. Also included is a Program of Instruction for evaluator/controller training. Fifteen separate lesson plans cover evaluator/controller duties, exercise planning, exercise control and communication, simulation, performance observation and evaluation, exercise rehearsal, terrain reconnaissance, conduct of critiques, and data analysis/report preparation. Each lesson includes example lesson narratives, graphics and trainee handouts. Another section of the document presents the rationale for the content of the command planning guidance and program of instruction. A final section describes the field testing and revision of earlier guidance that led to the guidance in the present document. Primary audiences for this document are researchers, TRADOC personnel responsible for tank/mechanized infantry collective training/evaluation and tank/mechanized infantry unit training managers seeking additional guidance in exercise planning and evaluator/controller training.
