Howitzer Fire Mission Workbook

Abstract

The workbook is a pocket-sized, performance-oriented training aid designed for field use. It contains four practice sessions that each take about one hour to complete. Each session consists of a number of dry-fire direct and indirect fire missions and two evaluation missions. The evaluation missions allow sections to keep track of their performance. The workbook can provide drill to gunners and assistant gunners and cross training for other howitzer section members. The training Technical Area of the Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) has pursued a program of research directed at developing data and technology to enhance and sustain the competence, motivation and performance of individuals and units. This research product was developed within a project designed to investigate contributions of individual proficiency and personnel turbulence to overall crew performance. The final objective of the research is to determine effective personnel assignment and training procedures for units in turbulent personnel environments.
