A Device/Aid-Based Strategy for Training M1 Tank Gunnery in the Army National Guard

Abstract

Training devices and aids can help overcome constraints to on-tank gunnery training in the Army National Guard. This report describes a strategy for using devices and aids to train gunnery. The training strategy is divided into five components, each of which refers to a general problem in training: (1) Identification/organization of training objectives. Training objectives for the device/aid-based training strategy were derived from on-tank exercises described by the Tank Combat Tables, Fm 17-12-1 (Department of the Army, 1988b). (2) Assignment of training devices/aids to the objectives. Training devices and aids were assigned to the four phases of training by matching performance requirements of the combat tables to the capabilities of the training devices/ aids. (3) Allocation of training time to the devices/aids. (4) Specification of instructional content. (5) Overall management of training on devices and aids.
