How to Develop Task Summaries for Soldier's Manuals. Volume 1. Technical Report

Abstract

Soldier's Manuals (SM) are the basic written instructions for performance of critical tasks in most Army jobs. SM are intended as a sufficient (one-stop) learning guide for those tasks, and are a key element of the Enlisted Personnel Management System (EPMS). Since they first appeared in 1976, SM have demonstrated great promise, but various kinds of problems have also become apparent, as might be expected in so vast a system. The major research objective is a system for improving task performance instructions (TPI) in SM. A related objective is a developer's guide for implementing that system.
