Abstract
Without a data base, unit commanders and training managers
in the U.S. Army are left to plan their training based on
what they perceive as their unit's weaknesses while analysis
agencies are helpless to assist in providing meaningful
direction to training efforts. With a data base drawn from
ARTEP or SQT type evaluations, analysis agencies could model
both the hardware parameters associated with equipment and
the human parameters associated with unit or individual performance.
Such modelling efforts could provide results which
would be helpful in measuring the cost effectiveness tradeoffs
associated with various levels of unit or individual
training. The purpose of this study is to explore what data should
be collected during Army training exercises in order to
facilitate analysis through combat models. More specifically,
this thesis will examine a Mechanized Infantry Platoon and
Squad in the Active Defense and recommend measures of perform.
ance which are representative of the various functional
areas which make up the Active Defense. Data representative
of these measures of performance could then theoretically be
used to accomplish analysis of training alternatives as
previously discussed.
