Fort Gordon Field Unit, Fort Gordon, Georgia, 1987-1994
Abstract
The Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) established a Field Unit at Fort Gordon in March 1987. The Field Unit was established to support the U.S. Army Signal Center and School and Fort Gordon at the suggestion of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel. The need for the Field Unit was identified during a 1986 Signal Functional Area Review in which several manpower, personnel, and training research issues arose. The Signal Corps is the Army's third largest branch. The Army's Long Range Training Plan, at that time, emphasized the requirement to exploit the use of technology in all training activities and systems and increase reliance upon simulation, simulators, and training devices to develop proficiency. The ARI Fort Gordon Field Unit, therefore, had the mission of conducting research to support the development of technology based improvements to Army communications and electronics education and training. A secondary mission was to perform research to address manpower and personnel concerns associated with the design of new Signal systems and the restructuring of existing Military Occupational Specialties.
