A Device-Based, Time-Compressed Strategy for Army National Guard Tank Gunnery Training

Abstract

This report describes a training strategy to reduce or compress the time needed to prepare for tank crew qualification on Table VIII through use of the Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (COFT) and Guard Unit Armory Device Full-Crew Interactive Simulation Trainer, Armor (GUARDFIST I). To compress time, the authors recommend that training, (a) be focused on only those gunnery skills needed for Table VIII qualification, (b) be given only to crews with demonstrated performance deficiency, and (c) be devoted to those Table VIII engagements found to be most difficult. The strategy is designed specifically for use by armor units of the U.S. Army National Guard. Reserve component, Armor training, Tank gunnery, Table VIII
