Assessment of Military Crew/Team Effectiveness and Cohesion in Standard Military Crew/Team Tasks

Abstract

This report describes research conducted to evaluate the new Initial Entry Training (IET) Program of Instruction (POI) delivered to drill sergeants, company cadre, and battalion cadre. The new POI was designed to prepare recipients for the situations they face in recruit training, and to promote positive leadership. Results indicated that the new POI had very little impact on the attitudes and performance of those who took the course. The effects of the new POI on the trainers was also negligible. Confounding factors in the comparisons of those who had been trained under the new POI and those who had not call into question the validity and reliability of the findings. Keywords: Army training.
