An Evaluation of the Aviation Resource Management Survey (ARMS) checklist. Volume 2. Appendix C (ARMS Checklist Data Base)
Abstract
One of the way that the Army helps reserve Component training managers conduct training efficiently is through Aviation Resource Management Survey (ARMS) evaluation team visits. The research reported in this document was performed to help the First U.S. Army Deputy chief of Staff for Training evaluate and revise the First Army ARMS Checklist. Aviation personnel from first Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve aviation support facilities and aviation units rated the Detectability, Importance, and Criticality of the items contained in the ARMS checklist as applied to a facility and to a unit. The results indicate that, on the average, the Detectability and Importance of the deficiencies described in the checklist items were rated as moderate to high, while the Criticality was rated as low. The rating distributions and the verbal scale anchors suggest that different criteria may be appropriate for determining if an item is low or high on each of the three scales. A procedure for using the Detectability, Importance, and Criticality information for revising the ARMS Checklist was developed. Recommendations are provided for improving both the checklist and content and the evaluation procedures. In addition, an Arms Checklist data base was developed to help Army managers organize, interpret, and summarize the results of ARMS visits.
