Analysis of Tank Crew Performance Requirements for Multiple-Target Engagements

Abstract

This report presents the results of a task analysis of the performances required of a tank crew in accomplishing the revised Tank Crew Qualification Course set up by 7th Army Training Command at Crafenwoehr. This course was recently revised to increase the threat representation of the qualification course. As a first step in the development of such a program, an analysis of the performance requirements of the revised Table VIII was conducted. The critical characteristic of Table VIII is multi-target engagements. This firing table is defined by USAREUR Reg 350-704 (Draft of 10 May 1976 is the current basis of analysis). The training to be designed is to qualify crews on this table. Table VIII stresses both speed and accuracy of target engagement, but does not prescribe method (except for safety and minimal administrative requirements). It is thus a performance, rather than process specification.
