Book Description
Using the Abrams Tank Crewman One-Step Unit Training as a case study, this study identifies alternative approaches for individual training and analyzes their cost implications. It suggests that although the current course's content and length is consistent with job requirements in the initial duty assignment, more efficient training techniques can be used in resident instruction. The analysis shows that many armor-specific tasks currently taught using tanks can be taught using training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS). In addition, the amount of computer-based training (CBT) can be increased in basic training. Expanded use of TADSS to replace training on vehicles can provide substantial savings in operating and support costs, but the level of costs and savings depends on how the devices and course changes are implemented. If new trainers and simulators must be developed and procured, savings will be cut. The study also found that savings differ across devices. Although substituting TADSS for tanks appears cost effective, the evidence for CBT is mixed.

Book Description
This report documents results of a research project entitled Future Individual Training Strategies. The overall project objectives are to identify and assess alternative training strategies that may be more efficient and affordable than current techniques for conducting Army individual training, with special attention given to resident training conducted in U.S. Army schools. Here the authors present results of one of three case studies of specialized skill training in an Army military specialty. Each case study examines current job requirements and training approaches, identifies alternative methods of conducting training consistent with new Army training concepts, and analyzes resources, costs, and potential consequences of changes in training strategy.

A Strategy for Efficient Device-based Tank Gunnery Training in the Army National Guard
Author: Joseph D. Hagman
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Tank gunnery
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
"A strategy is proposed for minimizing the device-based training time required to prepare armor crews of the U.S. Army National Guard for on-tank training and live-fire gunnery qualification. Using two devices (i.e., the Conduct-of-Fire Tramer (COFT) and Abrans Full-Crew Interactive Simulation Trainer (AFIST), efficiency is achieved by training only gunnery engagements subjected to later live-fire evaluation, focusing on those engagements not performed to standard, and allocating training time to crews that need it most, as determined through pretesting. Guidance is provided to support strategy implementation at the company level and the conduct of research needed for future strategy refinement."--DTIC.

Design Institutional and Unit Sustainment Training Programs for XM1 Armor Crewmen
Author: Charlotte H. Campbell
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
In an effort to reduce the costs and increase the efficiency of initial and sustainment training of XM1 armor crewmen, the Army is exploring the use of simulators for driving and tank gunnery. Assessment of transfer of training to operational equipment and estimation of the predictive validity of proficiency on a simulator are addressed empirically by the Army's operational testing system for device evaluation. The purpose of this report is to present the products prepared in response to the Task 1 and Task 2 requirements for Mission-Based Simulation and Training Requirements to design institutional training for XM1 driving and gunnery, and unit sustainment training for XM1 gunnery. Specifically, three products are presented: Capabilities analyses for XM1 armor crewman training devices; Recommended training program for XM1 armor crewman institutional training; Recommended unit sustainment training program for XM1 gunnery.

Trainer's Guide for the Device-Based, Time-Compressed Army National Guard Tank Gunnery Training Strategy
Author:
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
This report is a guide for trainers in Army National Guard (ARNG) armor units for a device-based gunnery training strategy. The purpose of the strategy is to reduce or compress the time required to prepare for tank crew gunnery qualifications (i.e., Table VIII). The strategy compresses the required training time by (a) limiting training to those skills and knowledges needed for successful Table VIII performance, (b) focusing training on Table VIII engagements that are most difficult to ARNG crews to perform, and (c) allocating device training time to crews that need it most and away from crews that are demonstrably proficient on the training device. The strategy is designed to be implemented at the local level with either the Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (COFT) or the Guard Unit Armory Device Full-Crew Interactive Simulation Trainer, Armor (GUARDFIST I). Reserve component, Table VIII, Tank gunnery, Army National Guard, Armor training, Training strategy.
