Book Synopsis Assessing the Impact of Mental Category on Simulated Tank Gunnery Performance by : Scott E. Graham
Download or read book Assessing the Impact of Mental Category on Simulated Tank Gunnery Performance written by Scott E. Graham and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research evaluated the effects of mental ability on the gunnery performance of 19K One Station Unit Training (OSUT) soldiers. Five hundred forty-seven soldiers were given a 35-engagement tank gunnery test on the high- fidelity Institutional-Conduct of Fire Trainer (I-COFT). The I-COFT test included offensive and defensive engagements fired in normal and degraded operational modes. The primary analysis compared speed and accuracy performance as a function of mental category as derived from General Technical (GT) scores. The test scores were also used a parameter estimates in a soldier performance model based on Lanchester-type combat attrition models. OSUT soldiers with higher mental ability were faster and more accurate on the I-COFT test than were soldiers with lower mental ability. Mental category I & II soldiers hit 14% more targets than category IV soldiers and were 2 seconds faster. The effects of mental ability were relatively the same for both normal and degraded mode exercises. Analyses based on the soldier performance model indicated that category IV soldiers performed at 73% of category I & II soldiers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine the relationship between scores on a device-based test of gunnery proficiency and live-fire Tank Table VIII scores, a pooled sample of 73 Army National Guard (ARNG) tank crews (i.e., 24 from Smith and Hagman (1992) and 49 from this investigation) completed a 1-hour gunnery proficiency test on the Mobile Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (M-COFT) and then fired Table VIII the next day as part of annual training. For this pooled sample, a significant correlation was found between M-COFT test and Table VIII scores (r = .67, p
Book Synopsis Predicting Table VIII Tank Gunnery Scores from a Test of GUARDFIST I Proficiency and Training Matrix Advancement by :
Download or read book Predicting Table VIII Tank Gunnery Scores from a Test of GUARDFIST I Proficiency and Training Matrix Advancement written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes two investigations of the relationship between performance on the Guard Unit Armory Device Full-Crew Interactive Simulation Trainer-Armor (GUARDFIST I) and live-fire tank gunnery performance. In the first investigation, 19 Army National Guard (ARNG) M1 tank crews completed a GUARDFIST I-based test of gunnery proficiency and then fired tank gunnery Table VIII during annual training. Results showed that crew performance on the GUARDFIST I test was unrelated to performance on Table VIII. The second investigation examined the relationship between aggregate measures of GUARDFIST I training (maximum training matrix advancement and total training time) and Table VIII scores collected 6 months later on eight ARNG M1 tank crews. Results showed that total training time was unrelated to Table VIII scores, but that maximum training matrix advancement was strongly predictive of subsequent Table VIII performance. Findings suggest that brief, one-shot tests of proficiency on GUARDFIST I have limited predictive utility, but that aggregate measures of gunnery proficiency on GUARDFIST I can be used to predict live-fire tank gunnery performance. A larger sample size is needed to substantiate the validity of this predictive relationship. Reserve component, Tank gunnery, Training devices, GUARDFIST I, Armor training, Performance prediction.
Book Synopsis Enhancing the Efficiency of Tank Gunnery Evaluation by : Joseph D. Hagman
Download or read book Enhancing the Efficiency of Tank Gunnery Evaluation written by Joseph D. Hagman and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Based on the analysis of gunnery scores fired by 171 M1A2 tank crews, an easy-to-use strategy was developed for predicting which crews will, and will not, first-run qualify on Tank Table VIII before all of the typically required ten engagements have been fired. Scores are added as each engagement is fired and the resulting sum is compared to tabular formatted cutoff scores established to support accurate qualification predictions. Adherence to this strategy will help Active Army armor unit commanders to maximize the efficiency of tank gunnery evaluation by reducing the number of first-run engagements fired, as well as the range time and operational tempo (OPTEMPO) resources spent in doing so, by roughly 20% without sacrificing the purpose and intent of the crew-level gunnery certification process."--DTIC.
Book Synopsis Prediction of Job Performance by : Robert Vineberg
Download or read book Prediction of Job Performance written by Robert Vineberg and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature pertaining to prediction of enlisted military job performance, 1952-1980, was reviewed. The review excluded studies in which training performance or reenlistment is the criterion. Aptitude was the most frequently used predictor and supervisor ratings the most frequent criterion. Relationships among classes of criteria and between predictors and criteria were examined. Major classes of criteria were job proficiency, job performance, and suitability to military service. The following conclusions are supported by the review: (1) For the great majority of jobs, job knowledge tests appear to provide the most practical method of objective measurement; (2) Because job sample tests are very expensive to construct and administer, their use is not practical unless the job is extremely costly or critical; and (3) Use of supervisors' ratings as the only measure of job performance should be restricted to jobs for which motivation, social skill, and response to situational requirements are the only attributes worth measuring. Two promising approaches to improved prediction are the selective use of miniaturized training and assessment centers and the use of self-paced training performance as a predictor. The review includes abstracts of the studies that were reviewed.
Book Synopsis Job Samples as Tank Gunnery Performance Predictors by :
Download or read book Job Samples as Tank Gunnery Performance Predictors written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was conducted to develop and evaluate job samples as predictors of tank gunnery performance. In Phase I of the research two potentially useful job sample predictors were identified and validated. Phase II results provided cross-validation of these predictors. Subjects in Phases I & II consisted of recent Armor OSUT graduates. Approximately one-half the subjects in Phase III were administered the job sample tests during their eight week of training while the remaining one-half were tested at the Fort Knox Reception Station, i.e., prior to training. Phase III results demonstrated that feedback had no effect on job sample-tank gunnery relationships; however, level of prior training did have an effect. Eight week personnel performed at a higher level than Reception Station personnel on most job sample tasks. Results suggest that the job samples evaluated here offer promise in predicting performance after initial training and may be adaptable for use with the operational unit assignment process. (Author).

Book Synopsis Assessing the Impact of Psychomotor and Leadership Selection Tests on the Excellence in Armor Program by : Scott E. Graham
Download or read book Assessing the Impact of Psychomotor and Leadership Selection Tests on the Excellence in Armor Program written by Scott E. Graham and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Skills Selection and Sustainment (S3) program, this research evaluated the potential effectiveness of spatial, psychomotor, and leadership scales as additional selection criteria for the Excellence in Armor (EIA) program. The S3 predictor tests were administered to 1,642 One Station Unit Training (OSUT) soldiers at the Fort Knox reception station. In addition, 479 19K (M1 tank crewmen) OSUT soldiers were given an engagement tank gunnery test on the high-fidelity Institutional Conduct of Fire Trainer (I-COFT). The I-COFT test included offensive and defensive engagements fired in normal and degraded operational modes. The primary analysis evaluated I-COFT speed and accuracy as a function of S3 spatial/psychomotor scores. The S3 spatial/psychomotor tests were a strong predictor of simulated tank gunnery performance, yielding a correlation of .54 with I-COFT speed/accuracy. The 2-1/2-month interval between the predictor and criterion tests suggests that the relationship should remain stable over time, and the relationship shrank only slightly when the EIA soldiers were given additional training. The results indicate that including the S3 tests in the EIA selection process would result in EIA graduates with stronger gunnery skills.

Book Synopsis Combining Results of Independent Research in Tank Crewman Performance by : Barbara A. Black
Download or read book Combining Results of Independent Research in Tank Crewman Performance written by Barbara A. Black and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of any combat weapon system is in large measure a function of the level of performance of the soldier operator. The US Army is interested in ensuring maximum effectiveness of the new M1 tank system by optimally selecting and training Ml crewmen. To support the Army's effort in maximizing system effectiveness from the personnel selection aspect, the Army Research Institute has conducted extensive research in the area of tank crewman performance prediction during the past several years. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the results of this research in order to determine by job content area, for both trainees and job incumbents, whether quantifiable aptitudes are related to tank gunnery performance.
Book Synopsis Predicting Performance of M1 Gunners by :

Book excerpt: This research was designed to evaluate a battery of M1 gunner performance prediction tests. Specifically, the work sought to (1) determine the relationship between hands-on job sample tests and computerized counterparts, (2) ascertain how these relate to Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery- based ability measures, and (3) determine how the tests relate to tank gunnery measures. Data were obtained for 123 M1 tank gunners from 4 battalions. Composite scores were derived for five hands-on predictor tasks: (1) tank engagement, (2) snakeboard tracking, (3) computer panel enter/check data, (4) computer tank engagement, and (5) computer tracking. Data were also obtained on a motivation inventory, the Armed Forces Qualification Test, and the Pattern Analysis subtest of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, Forms 6/7. Criterion data included supervisor ratings and Table VIII annual gunnery scores. Results for the target engagement test suggested that this task might be successfully computerized. Performance on M1 Computer Panel Tests was found to relate to the Armed Forces Qualification Test. While no relationships for supervisor ratings and Table VIII day scores and predictor tests were observed, some hands-on measures were seen to correlate with Table VIII night scores.
