National Training Center Performance Trends for Mortar Fire Support: Relationship to Training Doctrine

Abstract

This report describes a methodological approach developed for the analysis of mortar performance trend data contained in the Fire Support Operating System section of Take Home Packages (THPs) from the National Training Center (NTC). The purpose of the analysis was to determine the efficacy and practicality of the methodology as a feedback mechanism. The methodology categorized the performance trend data so that unit strengths and deficiencies could be identified, and then these findings were linked to relevant Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP) tasks to assist training managers develop optimal training programs. A parallel study using a larger operating system was discussed. Keywords: National Training Center (NTC), Mortar fire support, Mortar Fire Operating System.
