Task Analysis for MOS 63B; Preliminary Assessment for Protocol Development

Abstract

The overall purpose of this project was to identify and describe the 10 most physically demanding critical tasks and task elements performed by soldiers in 63B MOS, Light Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, so they could be simulated in the United States Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) study, Job Performance and Injury Rates of MOS 63B, Light Wheel Vehicle Mechanic as a Function of Physical Fitness'. In order to accomplish this, the project focused on four main goals: (1) To identify all applicable performance standards, criteria and requirements for the 63B critical tasks. (2) To identify the tasks entailing the highest injury risk based on instructor subject matter expert (SME) opinion and ratings and published critical task documents. (3) To perform detailed task analyses of the high-risk tasks and task elements identified by the subject matter experts. (4) To develop accurate simulations of high-risk task elements based on the task analyses and expert ergonomists' evaluations,
