Combat Leaders' Guide: Rifle Platoon and Squad
Abstract
The modern combat leader must make many complex decisions under conditions of great stress. However, while the leader's job has increased in level of difficulty, there are no effective, standardized job performance aids to assist the leader in accomplishing his job. The Combat Leader's Guide project was initiated to produce a modular job performance aid system for combat leaders to use during periods of high stress in continuous combat. The Combat Leaders' Guide is designed to (1) be fully usable under combat conditions; (2) have a standardized format; (3) be a modular, highly flexible system; (4) provide fast information retrieval; (5) be easily personalized to individual need, job assignment, mission requirements, equipment availability, and area of operations by adding or removing modules; (6) be easily of adverse weather and low light; and (7) utilize as many government standard components as possible. The Combat Leaders' Guide, of which this is the original edition, will have as complementary material an authorizing guide, a final report detailing the history of the project and user reaction to the Guide, and an updated version, the Combat Leaders' Guide: Platoon Leader, Platoon Sergeant, and Squad Leader.
