Implementation and Evaluation of the Tank Crew Training Program for USAREUR Units
Abstract
A previously-developed Tank Crew Gunnery Training Program for USAREUR units was tried out in a USAREUR armor battalion four weeks prior to tank gunnery qualification firing at the Baumholder Training Area. Tank crews in the test battalion trained exclusively on the prototype program. A second battalion, selected for comparison purposes, was trained 'conventionally' by following their established training program. The training for both battalions was closely monitored. Both battalions later performed on Tank Crew Gunnery Table VI at Baumholder, and performance data were collected. The prototype program was successfully implemented, requiring only minor modifications. Training on the prototype program was found to be as effective as conventional training in terms of meeting the Baumholder Training Area performance standards on Table VI.
