Infantry Situation Awareness. Papers from the 1998 Infantry Situation Awareness Workshop

Abstract

This volume contains papers developed from the Infantry Situation Awareness Workshop, held at Fort Benning, Georgia, 29-30 September 1998. It consists of 16 chapters representing the views of key program participants on Infantry situation awareness (SA) issues. Specifically, five questions were addressed: (1) What the most critical Infantry SA requirements; (2) what new training techniques and requirements are needed; (3) what pitfalls should the Army try to avoid in its drive to enhance SA; (4) how can SA be measured in Infantry soldiers and teams; and (5) what the most critical Training, leader, and Soldier SA research issues that the Army should address in the next five years. These questions were addressed at four levels of echelon: individual combatants and squads; platoons, companies, and battalions; infantry brigades; and future Infantry teams. Implications for future Infantry SA research and development are discussed.
