Methods of Evaluating Tank Platoon Battle Run Performance

Abstract

This report describes the development of methods for the assessment of tank platoon battle run performance. The aims of this first phase were to generate objective performance measures, to explore alternative data collection procedures, and to specify scoring and interpretation procedures. Performance measures were developed for 54 different performance constructs in the offensive battle run and 43 different performance constructs in the defensive battle run. Video taping of battle runs was explored as an alternative to traditional data collection procedures. The report concludes with a discussion of the procedures involved in using photomap board-gaming simulations to generate performance standards in terms of which to score and interpret platoon proficiency.
