Guidelines for Preparing Armor Platoon Drills and Tactical Leadership Exercises. Volume 1

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to adapt drill development guidelines so that they would be suitable for use by armor units, to incorporate tactical platoon leader training into these guidelines, and to implement the revised methodology for drill development by preparing a set of drills for tank platoons and leadership exercises for tank platoon leaders. A review was conducted of the drill development guidelines prepared by ARI and by TRADOC. The need for modified and new guidelines for armor training was determined. Supplemental guidelines were prepared including guidelines for the preparation of tactical leadership exercises for platoon leaders, and the guidelines were implemented in the preparation of a prototype battle exercise comprised of tank platoon drills and platoon leader exercises. In addition, assistance was provided to the ARI Field Unit at Fort Knox and to the Directorate of Training Development of the U.S. Army Armor School in the preparation of armor platoon drills based on the Division 86 concept.
