Correlating Training Effort and Tactical Proficiency
Published Date: October 1, 2000
The purpose of this research memorandum is to attempt to correlate existing individual exercise training data that reflect warfighting proficiency to training effort expended. Our tasking was to use existing fleet data sources. Previous CNA studies have concentrated proficiency to training resources, but this effort required unique and extensive data collection and did not always reflect existing data sources. Our goal was to identify a similar connection based on existing fleet data sources. We analyzed unit training for three types of platforms for three mission areas: multi-crew support aircraft (P-3Cs) and their anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission; surface combatants and their naval surface fire support (NSFS) mission; and tactical aircraft (F/A-18s) and their strike warfare (STW) mission.
