Expert Infantryman Squad and Platoon Evaluation (EISPE) 2 Concept: Report of Exercise Observations

Abstract

The Expert Infantryman Squad and Platoon Evaluation (EISPE) concept was developed by the USAREUR 8th Infantry Division to build a tactically based, performance-oriented Expert Infantryman Badge test (EIB) within the context of a squad and platoon Army Training Test (ATT). The exercise discussed in this report was the second in a series conducted to test the feasibility of the EISPE concept. An earlier version of EISPE involving individual, squad and platoon events, was tested during January 1975 by a battalion selected from the 8th Infantry Division. During that exercise, however, neither individual (EIB) nor squad events were conducted within the context of a larger unit operations; i.e. , individual, squad, and platoon tests were conducted independent of one another.
