Development of Unit Training and Evaluation Techniques for Combat-Ready Helicopter Pilots: Task 1. Development of an Instruction Program for Individual and Unit Training with Combat-Ready Pilots.

摘要

The attainment and maintenance of combat readiness must be a, if not the, primary responsibility of every field unit commander. To carry out that responsibility, commanders of units with combat missions need training and evaluation techniques that will train pilots who already know how to fly to accomplish the requirements of a specific mission in a battlefield environment as part of the combined arms team. In order to provide the required techniques and procedures noted above, it is first necessary to derive an effective and efficient approach to their development. That approach should result in the availability of techniques and procedures that will facilitate the attainment of the highest level of combat readiness in the largest number of operational units in the shortest amount of time. This report describes the research effort directed at the derivation of an approach to the development of training and evaluation technques and procedures for combat-readiness training that will meet the above noted requirements. It also describes the effort directed at the partial development of two training modules consistent with that approach. (Author)
