Implementation Test Report: Field Tryout of Close Air Support Battle Task Measurement System.

Abstract

The purpose of report is to describe the methodology and execution of the field verification test of the measurement system based on battle tasks for close air support in a Low Intensity Conflict, and to provide the results of that test. The increased emphasis on interservice operations make it both practical and worthwhile to develop an air-ground training and feedback system. Air-ground training and feedback system results, organized into a common database, would provide information that would facilitate training evaluation and development by both Army and Air force. The data collected using such a system could also provide a quantifiable basis for further training resource requirements. This study was designed to extend a previous analysis of the utilization of close air support in mid-intensity combat to the use of close air support in a low intensity conflict. Extending the previous analysis will maximize the commonality of low intensity and mid-intensity measurement systems, which should reduce development costs and result in a more usable product.
