When the Standards in Training Commission (STRAC) Weapons Program Review determined that the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) training strategy needed validation, the Individual and Unit Training Division (IUTD), Directorate of Training and Doctrine (DOTD), U.S. Army Field Artillery School (USAFAS), requested that the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) perform a survey of MLRS training in Continental United States (CONUS) units. Structured interview guides and supplementary questionnaires were used to collect data on training programs now in use; unit conditions affecting training management and unit performance; unit performance on tasks; troop and command satisfaction with Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) training-support products; and tips for trainers an training managers, based on field reports and observations of what works. Data collected from 225 personnel in 98 interviews at five CONUS Forces Command (FORS posts where MLRS units are assigned. The units visited included two MLRS battalions and three separate batteries. Data were collected from personnel at all echelons-from MLRS firing section through battalion or division artillery.

The present document contains appendixes to this report, including the data collection instruments and the interview data. The interview statements are organized into files that support the findings presented in ARI Research Report 1614, by topic, post, and echelon.
