Performance of Basic Infantry Tasks

Abstract

Objective empirical data reflecting a Marine's ability to perform basic infantry tasks are rare. Data from the Marine Corps Job Performance Measurement Project are used to describe the performance levels of infantrymen. Performance strengths and weaknesses are identified, and measures reflecting how recently Marines have performed infantry tasks are noted. Results of the interaction of the performance outcomes and the recency of task performance have potential implications for training in infantry tasks. (SDW)
