Review of Current Aircrew Coordination Training Program and Master Plan for Program Enhancement: Aircrew Coordination Training Master Plan
Abstract
This report presents the results of reviewing the training and evaluation of aircrew and team coordination aspects of the Army's current Aircrew Coordination Training (ACT) program to develop a master plan of continuous improvement. Research source materials included policies, training courseware, evaluation guides, research papers and reports, and assessment summaries of operational trend data. Information was developed from interviews with team coordination subject matter experts and published information across the Department of Defense military services, commercial carriers, and academia. Interviews, reviews, and information results focused on ACT policy, training, evaluation and risk management, and future plans and research. The results of the review lead to the conclusion that the Army's ACT program effectiveness has greatly declined since 1995 due to limited funding and requires revitalization and enhancement. Because Army aviation reorganization and modernization initiatives impact all units and components, it is now more important than ever to develop an integrated strategy of corrective actions. The report includes a recommended Master Plan for ACT Enhancement in the form of a proactive, multi-phased course of continuous improvement to maximize Army aviation modernization investments and complement leadership training initiatives.
