Preliminary Review of the 63W10 Course at Aberdeen Proving Ground

Abstract

For this report, we observed training of 63W10 mechanics at the U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School and analyzed test scores for a sample of 16 classes. We also examined published data on performance deficiencies in U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) units. We found high failure rates for some tasks in the school and in the field. On the basis of our observations and analyses, we made 12 recommendations for improving wheel vehicle repairer training. One of them, improvement of classroom vugraph material, has already been implemented on the basis of a draft version of this report.
