Trainer's Guide for the Device-Based, Time-Compressed Army National Guard Tank Gunnery Training Strategy

Abstract

This report is a guide for trainers in Army National Guard (ARNG) armor units for a device-based gunnery training strategy. The purpose of the strategy is to reduce or compress the time required to prepare for tank crew gunnery qualifications (i.e., Table VIII). The strategy compresses the required training time by (a) limiting training to those skills and knowledges needed for successful Table VIII performance, (b) focusing training on Table VIII engagements that are most difficult to ARNG crews to perform, and (c) allocating device training time to crews that need it most and away from crews that are demonstrably proficient on the training device. The strategy is designed to be implemented at the local level with either the Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (COFT) or the Guard Unit Armory Device Full-Crew Interactive Simulation Trainer, Armor (GUARDFIST I).
