The Expert Infantryman Squad and Platoon Evaluation (EISPE) I Concept: Evaluations and Observations
Abstract
The Army Research Institute Field Unit in USAREUR was asked by the 8th Infantry Division to assist in assessing feasibility of a new concept in individual, squad, and platoon evaluation. This paper presents the ARI assessment of the field implementation of the Expert Infantryman, Squad, and Platoon Evaluation (EISPE) in Baumholder, Federal Republic of Germany, during 5- 13 January 1975. A summary of observations and recommendations is made by ARI's research and staff scientists during EISPE, as well as an assessment of the EISPE concept. This report consists of three major sections. This section describes the development of the basic EISPE concept and the ARI study of the field test in Baumholder. The second major section summarizes ARI's conclusions and recommendations about EISPE. The third section presents the detailed findings of the study, with discussion of the data, and specific recommendations about each area evaluated within the EISPE concept.
