THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREW DRILLS FOR ARMOR WEAPON SYSTEMS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Requirement:

To maximize the combat potential of Armor weapon systems through re-search on the design and development of new training concepts and prototypetraining programs for gunnery and maintenance tasks in armor systems.

Procedure:

The primary objective of the research was to design a crew drills train-ing approach for armor weapon systems that would incorporate the concept ofdry-fire training in a low cost environment. A secondary objective was todevelop a set of tank gunnery crew drills for the Ml General Abrams, M60A3,and M6OAl(AOS) armor weapon systems to demonstrate the feasibility of the

training approach.

Armor training literature was obtained and reviewed to identify the cur- Nrent approach to crew drills training. A dry-fire crew drills training con- '2.cept was then developed to include guidelines for program management, task .'I

performance and evaluation, and quality control.

A set of prototype crew drills for three armor weapon systems were sub-sequently developed following this design blueprint. Tank gunnery require-ments considered representative of the domain were selected and analyzed toidentify individual task performance by crew position and phase of target en-gagement. Individual task performance rated critical to crew drills perfor-mance were then specified for evaluation.

Findings:

A crew drills training approach was designed and developed for dry-firetraining tank gunnery requirements in a low cost environment. This approachadheres to the training management guidelines and performance oriented ap-proach adopted by the Army, but does so from a prescriptive rather than de-scriptive viewpoint.

Separate sets of prototype tank gunnery crew drills were developed forthree armor weapon systems to demonstrate the feasibility of the trainingdesign. These companion documents are presented in Appendix A, Crew Drillsfor Ml General Abrams Tank Gunnery; Appendix B, Crew Drills for M60A3 TankGuney and Appendix C, Crew Drills for M6OAl(AOS) Tank Gunnery.

Utilization of Findings:

The crew drills training approach developed by ARI has been adopted bythe Directorate of Training Developments (DTD), U.S. Army Armor School(USAARMS), for training both tank and track vehicle commander collectivetasks. The separate sets of gunnery crew drills developed for the Ml Abrams,M6OA3, and the M6OAl(AOS) have been modified slightly to meet TRADOC re-quirements, and are contained in FM 17-13-1 (Tank Commander's Guide for theMl Abrams), FM 17-13-2 (Tank Comuander's Guide for the M48/M60 series Tank),and FM 17-13-3 (Tank Commander's Guide for the M60A3 Tank).

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND

In a joint review of the Ml Transition Training that was conducted duringOperational Testing (OT-II) at Fort Bliss, Texas, Directorate of Training De-velopments (DTD) personnel, US Army Armor School, and ARI attempted to identifycritical issues pertinent to effective training delivery for the Ml GeneralAbrams tank. At this tfie a training paradigm was conceptualized to representthe current training structure for Armor. As shown in Figure 1, this paradigmcontains six hierarchical levels of training and eight subsequent interfaceproblem areas. Transition from one level of training to another is dependenton the successful completion of each subordinate level. For illustrative pur-poses, performance gates (labelled 1-8) are depicted at each interface.

From an analysis of this training structure an immediate need for inter-facing Ml individual skills training and tank gunnery crew drills (Gate 1) wasidentified. Generally, it was agreed that even though individual tank crew

integrated into an Armor training structure remained to be specified. In es-V. sence, insufficient attention has been given to team building exercises where

crew members could weld their individual skills to a collective effort that is *both effective and efficient.

To respond to this problem, the Weapons System Training Team within theFort Knox Field Unit of the US Army Research Institute for the Behavioral andSocial Sciences (ARI) initiated a program of research to design and develop -crew drills for Armor that would incorporate a dry-fire training concept andenable tank crews to exercise their tank gunnery skills in a low cost environ-

* ment. This research was included as part of an ongoing research effort con-cerned with developing, through analytic and field research, tank crew and in-dividual training methods that are effective and efficient.

* PURPOSE OF RESEARCH

This report describes a research attempt to bridge the gap between indi-vidual and tank gunnery crew drills training by the design and development ofcrew drills for armor weapon systems training. Impetus for the research efforthas come from DTD, USAARMS, and is based on DTD's continuing efforts to providequality crew drills training programs for sustainment of collective skills.2If proven effective, the proposed crew drills would provide a model for con-ducting collective training in Armor units. It would insure that each crew-member has the individual and collective skills required to function as partof a tank crew. It also would provide training managers with the diagnostictools necessary to identify both individual and crew deficiencies.

PROCEDURE

n~m OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of the research was to design crew drills for Armor

weapon systems that would incorporate the concept of dry-fire training in a .low-cost environment. A secondary objective was to develop a set of prototypecrew drills for Ml, M60A3 and M6OAl(AOS) armor weapon systems to demonstrate

* the feasibility of the crew drills approach.

METHOD

To accomplish the research objectives, separate but sequential researchand development efforts were undertaken. First, a five-step approach was con-ceptualized for designing crew drills. The first step obtained and reviewed

* fe xmiigtedouet o eemn teeitngtann dcrnwas armor training literature directly related to tank crew drills training.I

dry-fire'crew drills training approach was formulated. To complement the ap-4/ proach, guidelines for program management, task performance and evaluation,

and quality control measures were addressed. Also included in this effort wasthe development of a training conditions matrix and a training record thatwould promote the development of crew drill proficiency at increasing levels

~ ~* of task difficulty. The specific details involved in carrying out each ofthese steps are described in Part I.

Prototype tank gunnery crew drills for the Ml, M60A3, and M60AI(AOS) tankswere developed to accomplish the second objective. For each separate system,armor literature relevant to the operation of each tank was obtained and re-viewed along with available crew drills training documentation. Informationgathered from these materials were then used to determine the subset of tankgunnery crew drills necessary and sufficient to represent each domain. Subse-quently, individual task performances were identified by crew position andtarget engagement phases for each crew drill and content-validated using sub- -a

ject matter experts (SMEs). By analyzing task performance across crew posi-tions, individual tasks considered critical to each gunnery performance wereidentified for the purposes of crew drills evaluation. The particulars in-

volved in carrying out each of these steps are more fully described in Part II.

PART I: DEVELOPMENT OF A CREW DRILLS TRAINING APPROACH

LITERATURE REVIEW

To become familiar with the current training approach recommended for crewdrills training, Training Circulars for the M48A5, M60, M60Al, and M6OAl(AOS)tanks (TC 17-15-11), M60A2 (TC 17-15-12), M60A3 (TC 17-15-13), and Ml tank (TC17-15-14 DRAFT) were obtained and reviewed. Aside from the technical differ-

ences due to weapon capabilities of each system, the training circulars werefound quite similar in design. Part One listed the task, to include conditionsand standards, and training references. Part Two identified training and eval-uation guidelines. Part Three detailed the performance steps the crew wouldfollow in carrying out the task. The crew drills training approach recommendedfor each weapon' system was identical. Crew level training was to be conductedby the tank commanders, with the platoon leader or sergeant serving as super-visors/evaluator. Crew drills training was to be conducted like all otherunit training, and accomplished collectively by having each crewman perform hisindividual tqsks simultaneously-with the others to accomplish the intended teameffort.

The results of this literature review can-be summarized in three state-ments. First, the training management functions necessary to conduct an effi-cient crew drills training program-were undefined. Platoon leaders and ser-geants were tasked to function as supervisors and evaluators based solely ontheir previous related experience. Thc assumption being made is that the ex-perience and knowledge platoon leaders and sergeants have gained in conductingprevious unit training qualifies them to function effectively as training mana-gers. What we know about the current level of crew turbulence in armor units(Eaton & Neff, 1978) indicates that this is not the case. In fact, effectivemanagement techniques need to be developed for the collective training sub-system to significantly minimize the training time normally lost while tank

- crews attemp.t to "get their act together."

In addition to a lack of training management guidelines, formal guidanceon how to conduct crew drills training was descriptive. That is, it told you

*' what to do but not how to do it. Tank commanders were instructed to train in-

dividual tasks using-performance-oriented concepts and to train collectively

by allowing each crewman to perform his tasks simultaneously with the others.Again, it's assumed that platoon leaders and tank commanders are qualified bytheir position to perform each of the individual training tasks. Most Armorunits are affected by personnel turbulence to varying degrees. As such, somesoldiers are assigned as tank commanders with little or no previous training.Others are assigned as tank commanders even though their primary MOS is notArmor. Still others are transferred to a new or different tank weapon systemin which they are at best, only minimally qualified. To combat this problem,even for those few tank commanders who have the relevant experience and train-

* ing, a prescriptive method of conducting crew drills training needs to be de-veloped. S

A final result of the literature review was the restrictive approach toevaluating individual and crew performance. Platoon leaders and sergeants weredirected to measure achievement by observing both the product (time, targethit/miss) and process (performance steps) of crew performance. Unfortunately,the product and process measures are applicable only for evaluating "live fire"performance. As noted in the current tables of allowance, main gun ammunitionfor live-fire performance is not allocated for crew drills training. Crewdrills training has to be accomplished with ammunition from gunnery qualifica-tion, Army Training and Evaluation Program CARTEP) live-fire exercises, orthrough the use of subcaliber devices. For all practical purposes, most gun-nery crew drills are trained and evaluated on the basis of "dry-fire" or "sub-

%1.. caliber fire," neither of which are addressed in the current crew drills train-ing circulars. In summary, the evaluation criteria are inadequate for conduct-ing crew drills training. Both dry-fire and subcaliber firing conditions andstandards, training and evaluation guidelines, and performance steps need tobe developed for each existing crew drill exercise.

TRAINING APPROACH

The performance oriented training approach adopted by the US Army in re-cent years remains the training approach recommended in the proposed crewdrills. Soldiers are trained based on precisely stated performance objectivesthat clearly specify what they must be capable of doing in their assigned oranticipated job. Lectures, discussions, and conferences are held to a minimumwhile the majority of training is focused on the conduct of practical exercises.

% Such a "hands-on" approach to training is considered mandatory if those beingtrained are to become experienced at performing their assigned tasks under the

5.' conditions and standards expected on the job.

In the current crew drills literature, the implementation of a performanceoriented training approach resides in the hands of local commanders as trainingmanagers. Their experience plus training know-how determines whether crewdrills training eventually succeeds or fails. In some situations these factors eare sufficient. However, without training guidance, such training can becomeinstructor dependent. In other words, how well an individual performs is de-pendent on who trained.

and efficient training delivery. At the onset, tank crews, as well as indi-vidual crewmembers, are expected to meet their individual knowledge and skillrequirements before participating in gunnery crew drills training. This re-quirement serves dual purposes. First, it eliminates the misuse of limitedtraining time and resources by providing only the type of training that should

* be taking place. Second, since crewmember(s) do not have to sit around while -

other(s) are being trained to perform prerequisite tasks, it maintains the* motivation to learn.

As mentioned later in this report, the key to the success of the pro-posed crew drills approach depends on whether the platoon leader carries out

* his assigned training responsibilities. In the proposed crew drills approachthe platoon leader must be capable of performing each individual task calledfor in a given crew performance. Once these capabilities are acquired, he mustthen insure that each of his tank commanders know how to perform these tasksby conducting crew drill training. This "train the trainer" approach to crewdrills is unique in that each tank commander is rotated through each of thefour crew positions during a crew drill. This insures that each tank commander"knows what he's talking about" before he begins to train his own tank crew.It also prepares tank commanders to follow the recommended training approachby having them experience it first hand. As an added benefit, any technicalor training-related problems encountered during the "train the trainer" sessionare resolved by the platoon training team as a whole, rather than by individualtank commanders during the conduct of crew training.

During this preliminary training session, the platoon leader provides de-tailed guidauice for preparation of training at the tank crew level. Afterdescribing how to set up a target condition for a crew drill performance, thecrew of tank commanders are instructed to enter the tank and establish the con-ditions specified for both the firing vehicle and their assigned crew stations.Safety regulations for tank operation are subsequently reviewed and the crewis given the green light to conduct training. .

Acting as the tank commander, the platoon leader reminds the other tankcommanders to follow the crew drills training approach being rehearsed in thistraining session. He then informs the crew of the training activity and thestandard of performance specified for the crew drill. How the training is totake place, how long, and how they will be evaluated at the end of training

4 are also explained.

During the actual presentation of training, the platoon leader "walks"each crewmember (tank commander) through his tasks as detailed by the crewdrill procedures. He critiques each task activity as it is performed, and thenprovides whatever instruction is necessary to improve the quality of that per-formance. Crewmembers not directly participating in training at any given timeare instructed to review their individual task requirements.

In summary, the training approach presented in the proposed crew drillsis performance oriented and structured to provide the type of training essen-tial for effective and efficient performance. It is performance oriented inthat soldiers are trained to perform their tasks "hands-on" to the conditions

and standards specified for the job. It is structured in that, (a) personnelresponsible for training delivery are required to demonstrate their ability toperform the tasks for which they will be conducting training, (b) detailed

,~. ~.guidance is provided for setting up the conditions for training, introducingthe training to the tank crewmembers, and for conducting the training, and (c)performance diagrams detailing the task procedures performed by each crewmemberare provided to carry out each of the crew drills.

GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Program management techniques are major influences on the efficiency of

training. This fact has been recognized by the Army and has been addressed inI"Training Management: An Overview," (TC 21-5-1), a Training Management Digest

'S. publication which has been incorporated into a revised edition of "MilitaryTraining Management" (FM 21-5). This Army FM provides commanders/training man-agers and their staffs with an overview of a ten-step model for developing an

* effective training program.

The proposed crew drills approach is in keeping with this policy of train-ing management, but is prescriptive rather than descriptive. That is, it at-tempts to more fully define the duties and responsibilities of each member ofthe training staff in carrying out his individual and collective efforts. Atthe highest level of command, the battalion commander retains the final author-ity and responsibility for the overall training subsystem. He continues to

provide the mission type training guidance to accomplish the broader commandmissions, allocates training resources, and monitors and evaluates the effec-tiveness and efficiency of the training subsystem. However, the primary focus

of the crew drills training effort begins at the tank crew level with eachhigher level of command assuming greater overall responsibility for the train-ing. Guidelines for establishing individual responsibilities in the proposedcrew drills are described below.

Tank Crewmembers. Each crewmember is given the primary responsibility foracquiring the knowledges and skills necessary to perform his individual job.They must obtain whatever self-instruction is needed to develop and maintaintheir individual skills proficiency so that intended team efforts can beachieved.

Tank Commander. Tank commanders are given the primary responsibility forimplementing tank gunnery crew drills within their own tank crews. They mustinstruct each crewmember in his individual procedures, and then train them asa team to perform the crew task requirements. Whatever remedial training isnecessary to ensure training success must be provided.

" V Pldtoon Sergeant. Platoon sergeants are given the major responsibilityfor carrying out all administrative and technical matters relating to crewdrills implementation. In particular, they must ensure that individual tankcrews are trained and evaluated as scheduled, and that the equipment, materials,and facilities necessary to implement both are available when needed. Assenior tank commanders, they must provide their platoon leader with the knowl-edges and skills needed for effective operation and maintenance of the armorweapon system.

% . . . .

Page 18: .- Research Vi Product

Platoon Leader. Platoon leaders are given direct responsibility, astraining managers, to conduct, evaluate, and manage the overall training sub-system. Their most important function, and the key to the success of the pro-posed crew drills, is to train their individual tank commanders in how to pre-pare and conduct crew drills training. They must ensure that each tank comn-mander is capable of performing both their individual and crew tasks and canimplement the recommended training approach.

Company Commander. The company commander is given command responsibilityfor the total training and evaluation effort within the framework of the unit's

* assigned mission requirements. In particular, he must determine the unit'scurrent level of individual and crew tank gunnery proficiency to include sched-uling the required pre- and post-testing and obtaining the necessary evaluation

* resources. He also must quality control the total training effort by evalu-ating training success and adjusting training as necessary to meet both indi-vidual. and unit readiness standards.

GUIDELINES FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

4.. The evaluation guidelines specified in the Army's present approach to crewSw drills training states that "each crew member must perform all actions as out-* lined in the recommended performance steps within the specified time." The

"specified time" being referred to is presented in the performance standards

prepared for each crew drill. For each tank gunnery requirement, the perform-ance standard specifies that the tank crew must, (a) open fire within so manyseconds after a target appears, and (b) obtain a hit within the total numberof seconds specified for the engagement. If a tank crew fails to meet the per-formance standards, the test evaluator(s) is to, (a) explain the weak areas tothe crewmember(s), (b) have the crewmember(s) practice at their own pace, and

A (c) have the crewmember(s) repeat the drill when they are ready.

Unlike these guidelines for evaluation, the proposed crew drills recon-mends both a formal and informal approach. The formal approach recommends theuse of the Tank Crew Gunnery Skills Test (TCGST) to diagnostically assess in-dividual gunnery performance. The TCGST should be administered to every crew-member who newly joins a tank crew to ensure that each has the prerequisiteknowledges and skills to perform his individual job tasks proficiently. Thecrew drill diagnostic tests should be administered annually to determine eachtank crews overall gunnery proficiency.

The informal evaluation approach focuses on the certification of crewdrill performance by the platoon leader and platoon sergeant. Detailed guide-lines for certification are the same as those for training and are identifiedseparately for each crew drill. In setting up the certification or appraisal,the platoon leader and platoon sergeant should: (a) obtain the support speci-fied for training, (b) establish the conditions identified for training, and -

(c) take up designated positions on the tank where they can best observe the* .* wls performance. To conduct the appraisal they should use the same detailed

procedures guide developed for training, paying particular attention during thecrew performance to the task behaviors rated critical (marked with a 0on thecrew drill Procedures Guide). At least three performance trials are recommended

'I 7

wY4-

in appraising a tank crew's performance of a crew drill followed by a critique.An appraisal is considered successful when, (a) all of the actions specifiedon the performance checklist are performed correctly, and (b) the crew com-pletes the crew drill requirement within the time specified for the engagement.In critiquing the crew's performance, the platoon leader should begin with a

review of each individual crewmember's performance, followed by a review ofthe tank crew's overall performance. Tank crews passing the appraisal (GO)Ishould be certified on their Crew Drills Training Record, while those that fail(NO-GO) should be instructed to practice the crew drill until the identifiedindividual and/or crew training deficiencies are removed. This failure should

be noted on their Training Record until they become crew drill certified.

GUIDELINES FOR QUALITY CONTROLThe purpose of quality controlling a training subsystem is to provide

commanders/training managers with the information necessary to prepare or re-vise future training plans. If neglected, or poorly done, the total trainingsubsystem becomes static and eventually incapable of meeting the needs of theunit or the individuals for whom it was designed.

In the present approach to crew drills training, guidelines for establish-ing quality control measure are undefined. Although commanders/training mana-gers are usually cognizant of the need for such measures, the guidance neededto implement a quality control program is not available.

In the proposed crew drills, specific guidelines are established for boththe company commander and the platoon leader. For the company commander, afive-step procedure is recommended for monitoring training program success.Specifically, company commanders should, (a) randomly select at least two tankcrews from the company, (b) pick out both individual and crew performance tasksfor verification, (c) conduct the evaluation, (d) verify the results with pre-viously obtained evaluation reports, and (e) if grossly different, introducewhatever corrective actions are deemed necessary. Company commanders shouldcontinue to stay abreast of the total crew drills training effort by develop-ing a company training record similar to the Crew Drills Training Record fortank crews.

* *. At the platoon leader level, a similar training program monitoring process

is provided to help platoon leaders continuously update the achievement oftheir individual tank crews. It is recommended that platoon leaders, (a) ran-domly select tank crews to verify adherence to the training approach, (b) con-duct regular meetings with various crewmembers to determine their attitudes

toward training and what improvements, if any, they feel would contribute to abetter quality program, and (c) submit regular progress reports to the companyIcommander informing him of the platoon's training status. Like the companycommaander, platoon leaders should construct a training record to assist themin their quality control efforts.

To become familiar with the capabilities of the Ml, M60A3 and M6OAl(AOS)%tank weapon systems, a review of the available technical documentation was con-ducted. The Operators Manual for the three tanks (TM 9-2350-255-10-1, TM 9- N2350-253-10, TM 9-2350-215-10) provides tank crewmembers with the necessaryinformation to operate the tank under usual and unusual conditions, check itfor proper operation and keep it serviceable, and to prepare each crew stationfor operation. The Tank Gunnery Field Manual for each tank (FM 17-12-1, FM17-12-2, FM 17-12-;3) provides tank crewmembers with the gunnery doctrine and

techniques unique to the weapon system. Included in each FM are the Tank CrewI

Gunnery Skills Test, Gunnery Firing Tables, and Firing Table Score Sheets. TheCrew Drills Training Circulars reviewed earlier during the development of thecollective training model, provide the training objectives, training/evaluation.guidelines, and recommended performance steps unique to each weapon system.They provide a series of tank gunnery and mobility drills designed to enable a

tank crew to destroy enemy targets and survive on a modern battlefield. .

In addition to these sources, SMEs from the Weapon's Department, US ArmyArmor School were contacted frequently to discuss problems not fully explainedor understood from the documentation.

IDENTIFICATION OF GUNNERY DOMAINS

In reviewing the technical and gunnery literature, it became apparent thatthe domain of possible gunnery tasks for the Ml and M60A3 could not be speci-fied as it could for the M60Al(AOS) (Kraemer and Boldovici, 1975). A shortcut approach needed to be taken that would generate the same results. Working

4:within this framework, a matrix of engagement conditions by level of conditions%

4 possible was identified for each tank weapon system (see Table 1). A greaternumber of engagement possibilities exists for the Ml Abrams tank versus theIM60A3 or M6OAl(AOS). The same holds true for the M60A3 versus the M6OAl(AOS).For both tanks, the increase is due to the enhanced capabilities of the firecontrol system.

Within each domain of possible engagements there exists several systemsperformance requirements fundamental to all tank weapons. The first of theseis to engage main gun targets from the gunner's station. A secondary require-ment is to engage coax or caliber .50 targets from the gunner and tank com-mander's stations respectively. A third is to engage targets at night usingdirect or indirect methods of fire. A fourth and final requirement is to en-

gage targets under degraded conditions, such as a primary sight failure.

5''In addition to these requirements there are several combinations of threatand Army vehicle modes that combine to define tank crew performance. As shownin Table 1, single, multiple or simultaneous targets can be engaged by a tankcrew. Targets can be moving or stationary and, depending on the weapon system,can be engaged while the gun platform is stationary, moving, or from a brief

Using these data sources a tentative list of tank gunnery requirementswas identified for each weapon system domain. The next step was to selectthose which were considered most representative.

SELECTION OF TANK GUNNERY CREW DRILLSU.

Table 2 identifies the sets of gunnery crew drills selected by ARI andj

DTD personnel to be representative of Ml, M60A3 and M60Al(AOS) gunnery domains.Thirteen crew drills were chosen for the M60Al(AOS) while 11 were selected forboth the M1 and M60A3 tanks. On examination it will be noticed that severalcrew drills were excluded from one or another of the domains. The reasons forthe M1 crew drill exclusions are several. The two indirect fire engagements

were excluded since the Ml has neither an azimuth indicator nor an elevationI

quadrant for range card firing. Second, the Ml has a thermal imaging systemwhich is used instead of or as a replacement for an inoperable periscope. Assuch, the telescope would only be used in an extremely degraded condition.The rationale for excluding the simultaneous engagement for both the Ml andM60A3 tanks is based at. respective gunnery doctrine. The reason given is thatthe task is extremely difficult to perform and would best be accomplished froma short halt.

Further examination of the M60A3 crew drills will show that the multiplemoving target engagement from a moving tank was excluded. The latest M60A3gunnery doctrine (FM 17-12-3) recommends that the crew come to a short halt toengage moving targets. Also, excluded from the M60A3 crew drills, as well asthe M60Al(AOS) crew drills are the two loader engagements. Neither of thesecrew drills are possible given the present weapon capabilities of each system.

IDENTIFICATION OF GUNNERY TASK REQUIREMENTS

Having selected the engagements to be included in the crew drills program,the next step was to identify the gunnery task requirements or activities per-formed by the individual crewmember. This was accomplished by breaking downthe engagement into discrete phases, and then listing whatever activities wererequired to perform them.

Five (5) phases were identified during target engagements. The firstphase identified was target acquisition. In this phase tank crewmembers searchthe terrain to detect targets and then report the target by alerting the crew.During this analysis several ancillary decisions were made. It was decided to,(a) restrict engagements conducted from a stationary tank to a turret-downposition, (b) limit target acquisition to the tank commander, and (c) identifyactivities that could be omitted from an engagement by an asterisk (*). Theresults of these decisions and analysis of the target acquisition phase areshown in the prototype crew drill presented in Appendix A.

The second phase identified was fire preparation. In this phase the tankcommnander issues a fire command while (a) the gunner issues driving commands(if required) and readies the fire controls, (b) the loader arms the weapon,

and (c) the driver maintains or moves the tank into firing position. (SeeAppendix A.)

The third target engagement phase identified was first round firing.During this phase, (a) the tank commander determines range or verifies that therange obtained was acceptable and commands "FIRE," while (b) the gunner layson target, tracks (if required), ranges (if possible) and actually fires theweapon, (c) the loader obtains a second round for firing or gets into positionto do so, and (d) the driver steers toward the target and/or maintains a steadyplatform for firing. (See Appendix A.)

The fourth phase identified in an engagement was the fire adjustmentphase. Here the tank commander round senses and then issues a subsequent firecommand to either continue, modify, or end the engagement. The remainder ofthe crew round senses (if possible) and responds to the subsequent fire command.

X In conducting this analysis, another decision was made that affects overallcrew drill development. With more than one option available to the tank com-mander, the decision was made to identify each possibility and allow the tankcommander the option to exercise any or all of them during a crew drill per-

* ~. formance. Since the option selected had a direct impact on subsequent crew-member performances, each crewmember was instructed to perform specific activi-

* .'.ties that preceded or followed this phase. A brief inspection of the crew* drill presented in Appendix A should help clarify this decision.

The fifth phiase identified in an engagement, if necessary, was secondround firing. Here the tank commander and crew repeat many of the activitiesidentified for firing the first round. The (a) tank commander determines,verifies or issues range and deflection corrections and commands "FIRE," Mbthe gunner relays, relases or applies range corrections, and fires, (c) theloader reloads, rearms and prepares for a third round firing, and (d) thedriver continues to drive or maintain engine control. (See Appendix A.)

The sixth and last phase identified in an engagement was the post actionphase. For single engagements the tank commander would announce "CEASE FIRE"and the crew would return the fire control system to its original status. Hadthe crew fired from a hull-down position, it would return to the turret-downor alternate firing position, as required based on target destruction. Iffiring on the move or from a short halt the crew would either (a) continue tomove (target destroyed), (b) seek a hull-down position (target miss), or (c)resume moving straight ahead or to a hull-down position. For multiple engage-

ments the crew would repeat the engagement from either an alternate firingposition (if stationary) or on the move (if moving).

After the performance requirements were identified for the selected en-gagements as described, they were presented to weapon system SMEs for contentvalidation. Changes and modifications were subsequently made as a result ofthese reviews until they were finally agreed upon by ARI and DTD personnel.

IDENTIFICATION OF CRITICAL TASKS

V The task requirements identified above provided the document by which agroup of SMEs were asked to rate task criticality. In doing so they were in-structed that tasks were to be rated critical to crew drill performance ifthey (a) could be observed and measured by an evaluator and (b) if failure to

Page 25: .- Research Vi Product

J" '04perform the task correctly could result in a failure to meet the time and ac-curacy standards established for the crew drill. After rating each crew drill,the SMEs were asked to get together and resolve whatever disagreements theyhad among them.

The results of this effort were considered acceptable until later fieldevaluation could be conducted to determine its validity. Additional effortswere taken by ARI, however, to maintain consistency among tasks rated as criti-cal to crew drills performance. A task which was not rated critical in one crewdrill but was rated critical in a similar crew drill was changed to critical.

PREPARATION OF TRAINING CONDITIONS MATRIX

As mentioned earlier in describing the proposed crew drills approach, thetank commander is provided with a list of equipment conditions by crew stationand crew drill. The purpose of such a conditions matrix was to standardizethe gunnery engagement procedures across tank crews for both training and eval-

.. % uation.

' The conditions matrix presented herein was prepared primarily as a by-product of the task detailing accomplished earlier. Specific assumptions weremade regarding the status of the vehicle and equipment operated by the tankcrew. For example, when the tank was stationary it was assumed that it wouldbe in a turret-down defensive posture. As such, the tank commander and loaderhatches would be open while they both attempted to locate possible targets.For the other crewmembers it was assumed the engine would be operating whilethe gunner would be maintaining the fire control system.

Given this scenario, further equipment status conditions evolved for each,~. ,,crew station. This included which weapons were armed or safed for firing,

what ammunition was loaded, if any, whether the turret was operating in poweror manual mode, the position of the turret lock, transmission shift control,

etc. A complete listing of the conditions that were determined to affect crewdrill performance is presented in Appendix A as Table A-2.

DEVELOPMENT OF CREW DRILLS TRAINING RECORD

In keeping with the guidelines recommended for quality controlling the

~1crew drills training program, a training record was developed for certifyingsuccessful performance. This training record or form would be completed bythe platoon leader/sergeant to indicate when an individual tank crew lastqualified or failed to perform a particular crew drill. Maintenance of thetraining record was the responsibility of each tank crew.

In developing the training record it became apparent that with minor modi-fication the training record should be expanded to include the development of

crew drills proficiency at increased levels of task difficulty. In other words,a tank crew should be required to perform each of the crew drills under a setof conditions that more closely paralleled the real-world requirements of com-bat. At the first level of task difficulty, the crew drills would be performedwith the hatches open and without protective masks. At the next level, the

14

~4

% % %

Page 26: .- Research Vi Product

L

crew would have to wear protective masks while keeping the hatches open. Thiswould continue until both hatches are closed and protective masks are worn.d

* From there tank crews would be tasked to perform the crew drill under degradedconditions, i.e., computer inoperable, turret power control failure, sightfailure, etc.

%7 i The results of this layering of task difficulty are tank crews proficient*i tank gunnery; proficient in the sense that they can perform each of thetank gunnery engagements under conditions that more closely represent battle-field conditions. By providing the means for this to take place, the training

- record becomes an immediate indicator of unit readiness. Whether it proves tobe this useful depends entirely on the quality control program established by .

- the unit commander.

DOCUMENTATION OF CREW DRILLS MATERIALSj

*Several activities were conducted to document the crew drills materials.The first was to design a format that would present the individual crewmemberactivities in a form that the tank commander could use for training and the

platoon leader for evaluation. For training purposes, several methods wereexplored with mixed results. Initially, a flow chart was developed whichlinked individual crewmember activities together on a time line coincidentwith tank commander activities. This approach had a certain amount of cogni-

I. tive appeal, but overwhelmed most of the SMEs who were asked to review itduring the content-validation effort mentioned above. A second method was de-veloped based on SME recommendations which eliminated the flow chart and merelylisted the activities as presented in the first approach. This method was ac-cepted by the SMEs.

.4 The second activity undertaken was to determine the design for crew drills

.4.. evaluation. Initially, it was decided to list each of the critical crewmember4% tasks identified earlier in the form of a pass-fail checklist. Next to each- task rating column would be a listing of the Soldier's Manual (SM) task number.

When crewmembers were found deficient at a given task they could be referredto the appropriate SM for remediation. This was developed and presented to "

* SMEs for review and comment. Most of the SMEs approved of the reference tothe SM, but felt that it would be an "over kill" if presented to tank commandersas part of the crew drills. They also indicated a need to know the specific

4~4 tasks that they would be evaluated on during crew drills evaluation.

Considering the results of the SME review, a second effort was made toproduce a crew drills evaluation form useable to both tank commander and pla-toon leader. After experimenting with several alternatives, it was decided tolocate a box (13) next to each of the crewmember activities identified as es-sential to crew drill accomplishment. This would satisfy two purposes. First,it would insure that both the trainers and evaluators were working from thesame "sheet of music." Second, it would eliminate the need to add an additionallayer of evaluation forms to an already over-burdened system. Feedback fromSMEs who have asked to review the drills indicated that both purposes were met,and that the crew drills should be acceptable to other tank commanders.

.--

The final activity in documenting the crew drills was to present them insuch a manner that they would be useable for both tank delivered training andevaluation. Several approaches were tried involving print reduction, type ofpaper, and paper size. On the basis of these tryouts it was decided that crewdrills should be presented on the front and back of a single 8 1/2 x 11 inchsheet of paper with minimum reduction, where necessary. When presented to tankcrews for use on board tanks they should be inclosed in a protective plasticcover or laminated to prevent damage.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

The goal of the research was to bridge the gap between individual and tankgunnery crew drills training. To achieve this goal, two major research objec-

tives were formulated. The primary objective was to design a crew drillstraining approach that would incorporate the concept of dry-fire training in alow cost environment. The secondary objective was to develop a set of proto-

type tank gunnery crew drills training programs that could be used to deter-mine the feasibility of the collective training design. Both of these researchobjectives have been achieved with the drills described in this report.

APPENDIX A. CREW DRILLS FOR Ml GENEML AMMWS TANK GUNNERYi

4. TANK GUNNERY CREW DRILLS TRAINING

INTRODUCTION: The key to successful team performance is practice. For example,the top teams in professional sports are those that continuously practice thejbasic things that make them successful. When they work out, their practicesessions are serious and dedicated to being the best both individually and asa team. They're willing to pay the price so they accept the hard work and thetime it takes to get it right. When game time comes around they're ready.They not only know their individual assignments, but they have acquired the

team skills and timing necessary to win. 1The tank gunnery crew drills are the basic things that your tank crew must

practice to be successful in combat. They are the gunnery engagement proceduresthat your tank crew will most likely perform on the next battlefield and mustexecute perfectly to win and survive. When the flag drops your tank crew willhave to out-maneuver and outshoot an enemy superior in number and capable ofblowing you away. If your tank crew hesitates in putting steel on target im-mediately, almost automatically, they will not survive. To be ready for combatyou and your MIl tank crew must be totally committed to going the whole nine

* yards. Under your leadership, they must be willing to practice until everyonehas acquired both the individual and team gunnery skilIls to win.

There is no other answer!

CHARACTERISTICS: There are 11 crew drills considered fundamental to Nl Abrams2tank gunnery. Each crew drill has a procedures guide which identifies the per-formance steps crewmembers must make during each phase of an engagement. Italso identifies the more critical gunnery steps that can be observed to check-out individual crewmember performance. These tank gunnery crew drills are de-signed specifically for open hatch operations during daylight and without theuse of live ammunition. More realistic battlefield conditions that can beexercised when dry-firing each crew drill are outlined in Table A-1. Specific .equipment conditions that must be established prior to crew drills trainingare presented in Table A-2.

RESPONSIBILITIES: You, the tank commander, are the primary trainer for crewdrills. It is your responsibility to provide each crewmember with the trainingrequired to successfully perform each of the engagements. Every opportunity,scheduled and unscheduled, must be seized to train your crew. Platoon leaders/sergeants should be looked to for training assistance. However, it is yourtank crew and how well they perform in combat will depend entirely on how wellyou prepared them during training.

TRAINING APPROACR: To accomplish crew drill training, the following approach* is recommended:

1. Introduce the Crew Drill. State the task to be trained and the perform-ance standards specified in FM 17-12-1. Point out the importance of conductingthe crew drill, why it is being trained using dry-fire methods, and how it re-lates to gunnery performance expected on the battlefield.

2. Demonstrate. Talk each crewmember through the tank gunnery procedureusing the procedures guide. Show them where their individual performances con-tribute collectively to the success or failure of the gunnery engagement.Using the asterisked (*) items, show them how a performance step might be in-

-- cluded during an engagement.

3. Get Set-up. Instruct your crew to enter the tank. When ready, conducta prepare-to-fire check. Next, select the battlefield condition to be trained(Table A-1), and set-up the equipment (Table A-2). For the purpose of dry-firetraining, tell the loader to leave the breech open for loading a "second" round,and to assume a battlesight condition. Tell the gunner to simulate the actualfiring of a live main gun round and to announce a round sensing.

4. Practice. Issue an appropriate fire command to begin the engagement.Proceed gradually, reviewing each crewmember' s individual task performance.When an error is noted that can be easily fixed, provide immediate hands-oninstruction. Otherwise, notify him of the deficiency and arrange for remedialtraining. If more timing and coordination is required between two crewmembers,arrange the time to let them practice. Repeat the engagement as often asnecessary to meet the crew drill standards.

5. Train For Combat. Increase the difficulty of the task by practicingit under the remaining battlefield conditions identified in Table A-1. Closethe hatches, put on protective masks, use manual controls, simulate a three-man crew, and practice what is required when there are weapon system failures.

6. Get Certified. Once your tank crew has mastered a given crew drillacross all battlefield conditions, contact your platoon leader or sergeant andask him to certify your tank's readiness. H-ave him review your performanceand record your progress on Table A-1.

APPENDIX B. CREW DRILLS FOR M60A3 TANK GUNNERY

Tank Gunnery Crew Drills Training

INTRODUCTION: The key to successful team performance is practice. Considerthe top teams in professional sports. They are continuously practicing thebasic plays that make them a winner. When they practice, their workouts aretaken seriously and they dedicate themselves to improving both individuallyand as a team. They are willing to pay the price. They accept the hard workand the time it takes to get it right. When game time comes around they areready. They are confident that they can perform their individual assignmentsand have acquired the team skills and timing necessary for them to win.

Crew Drills are a set of standardized procedures that a tank crew mustperform to be successful on or off the battlefield. In tank gunnery, thesecrew drills represent the most basic of all possible target engagements. Theoutcome of these engagements will depend almost entirely on which tank crewcan put steel on target the fastest and with the least amount of gunnery error.To be this good demands crew drill practice, and the tank crew that dedicatesitself to doing whatever it takes to acquire the individual and team gunneryskills will win.

CHARACTERISTICS: There are 11 crew drills considered fundamental to M60A3 tankgunnery. Each crew drill has a procedures guide which identifies the perform-

"-1 ance steps all crewmembers must make during each phase of an engagement. Italso identifies the more critical gunnery steps that can be observed to check-

V out individual crewmember performance. These tank gunnery crew drills are de-signed specifically for open hatch operations during daylight and without theuse of live ammunition. More realistic battlefield conditions that can beexercised when dry-firing each crew drill are outlined in Table B-1. Specificequipment conditions that must be established prior to crew drills trainingare presented in Table B-2.

RESPONSIBILITIES: You, the tank commander, are the primary trainer for crewdrills. It is your responsibility to provide each crewmember with the trainingrequired to successfully perform each of the engagements. Every opportunity,scheduled and unscheduled, must be seized to train your crew. Platoon leaders/ . -

sergeants should be looked to for training assistance. However, it is yourtank crew and how well they perform in combat will depend entirely on how wellyou prepared them during training.

Arr rr rVNWr 7- 777777 .-

TRAINING APPROACH: To accomplish crew drill training, the following approachis recommended:

1. Introduce the Crew Drill. State the task to be trained and the perform-ance standards specified in FM 17-12-3. Point out the importance of conductingthe crew drill, why it is being trained using dry-fire methods, and how it re-lates to gunnery performance expected on the battlefield.

2. Demonstrate. Talk each crewmember through the tank gunnery procedure

using the procedures guide. Show them where their individual performances con-tribute collectively to the success or failure of the gunnery engagement.Using the asterisked (*) items, show them how a performance step might be in-cluded during an engagement.

- 3. Get Set-up. Instruct your crew to enter the tank. When ready, conduct

a prepare-to-fire check. Next, select the battlefield condition to be trained(Table B-1), and set-up the equipment (Table B-2). For the purpose of dry-fire

's .training, tell the loader to leave the breech open for loading a "second" round,and to assume a battlesight condition. Tell the gunner to simulate the actual

'.8. firing of a live main gun round and to announce a round sensing.

4. Practice. Issue an appropriate fire command to begin the engagement.- Proceed gradually, reviewing each crewmember's individual task performance.

When an error is noted that can be easily fixed, provide immediate hands-oninstruction. Otherwise, notify him of the deficiency and arrange for remedialtraining. If more timing and coordination is required between two crewmembers,arrange the time to let them practice. Repeat the engagement as often asnecessary to meet the crew drill standards.

5. Train For Combat. Increase the difficulty of the task by practicingit under the remaining battlefield conditions identified in Table B-I. Closethe hatches, put on protective masks, use manual controls, simulate a three-man crew, and practice what is required when there are weapon system failures.

6. Get Certified. Once your tank crew has mastered a given crew drillacross all battlefield conditions, contact your platoon leader or sergeant and

- ask him to certify your tank's readiness. Have him review your performance

and record your progress on Table B-I.

APPENDIX C. CREW DRILLS FOR M6OAl(AOS) TANK GUNNERY

TANK GUNNERY GREW DRILLS TRAINING

INTRODUCTION: The key to successful team performance is practice. For example,the top teams in professional sports are those that continuously practice thebasic things that make them successful. When they work out, their practicesessions are serious and dedicated to being the best both individually and asa team. They're willing to pay the price so they accept the hard work and thetime it takes to get it right. When game time comes around they're ready.They not only know their individual assignments, but they have acquired theteam skills and timing necessary to win. .-

The tank gunnery crew drills are the basic things that your tank crew mustpractice to be successful in combat. They are the gunnery engagement proceduresthat your tank crew will most likely perform on the next battlefield and mustexecute perfectly to win and survive. When the flag drops your tank crew willhave to out-maneuver and outshoot an enemy superior in number and capable ofblowing you away. If your tank crew hesitates in putting steel on target im-mediately, almost automatically, they will not survive. To be ready for combatteyou and your Al tank crew must be totally committed to going the whole nineyards. Under your leadership, they must be willing to practice until everyonehas acquired both the individual and team gunnery skills to win.

There is no other answer!

CHARACTERISTICS: There are 13 crew drills considered fundamental to M6OAl (AOS)gunnery. Each crew drill has a procedures guide which identifies the performancesteps crewmembers must make during each phase of an engagement. It also iden-tifies the more critical gunnery steps that can be observed to checkout individ-ual crewmember performance. These tank gunnery crew drills are designed

A specifically for open hatch operations during daylight and without the use oflive ammunition. More realistic battlefield conditions that can be exercised

-a when dry-firing each crew drill are outlined in Table C-1. Specific equipmentconditions that must be established prior to crew drills training are presentedin Table C-2.

RESPONSIBILITIES: You, the tank commander, are the primary trainer for crewdrills. It is your responsibility to provide each crewmember with the trainingrequired to successfully perform each of the engagements. Every opportunity,scheduled and unscheduled, must be seized to train your crew. Platoon leaders!sergeants should be looked to for training assistance. However, it is yourtank crew and how well they perform in combat will depend entirely on how wellyou prepared them during training.

Page 79: .- Research Vi Product

TRAINING APPROACH: To accomplish crew drill training, the following approachis recommended:

1. Introduce the Crew Drill. State the task to be trained and the perform-ance standards specified In FM 17-12-2. Point out the importance of conductingthe crew drill, why it is being trained using dry-f ire methods, and how it re-lates to gunnery performance expected on the battlefield.

2. Demonstrate. Talk each crewmember through the tank gunnery procedureusing the procedures guide. Show them where their individual performances con-tribute collectively to the success or failure of the gunnery engagement.Using the asterisked (*) items, show them how a performance step might be in-cluded during an engagement.

3. Get Set-up. Instruct your crew to enter the tank. When ready. conducta prepare-to-fire check. Next, select the battlefield condition to be trained(Table C-1), and set-up the equipment (Table C-2). For the purpose of dry-firetraining, tell the loader to leave the breech open for loading a "second" round.and to assume a battlesight condition. Tell the gunner to simulate the actualfiring of a live main gun round and to announce a round sensing.

4. Practice. Issue an appropriate fire coammand to begin the engagement.Proceed gradually, reviewing each crewmember's individual task performance.When an error is noted that can be easily fixed, provide immediate hands-oninstruction. Otherwise, notify him of the deficiency and arrange for remedialtraining. If more timing and coordination is required between two crewmembers..arrange the time to let them practice. 'Repeat the engagement as often asnecessary to meet the crew drill standards.

5. 'Train For Combat. Increase the difficulty of the task by practicingit under the remaining battlefield conditions identified in Table C-1. Closethe hatches, put an protective masks, use manual controls, simulate a three-man crew, and practice what is required when there are weapon system failures.

6. Get Certified. Once your tank crew has mastered a given crew drillacross all battlefield conditions, contact your platoon leader or sergeant andask him to certify your tank' s readiness. Rave him review your performanceand record your progress on Table C-i.
