An Application of Tactical Engagement Simulation for Unit Proficiency Measurement

July 1979
Summary
The need for methods of measuring team and unit proficiency, and the lack of knowledge in this area are widely recognized. Team performance measurement difficulties are fundamental problems in unit proficiency diagnosis and training evaluation, in both military and civilian settings. Existing Army combat unit performance measurement techniques depend largely on judgmental data. A tactical training system, called tactical engagement simulation (ES), uses objective, accurate casualty assessment that offers a potential means of measuring team performance in combat training. Objective casualty assessment provides the primary measures of team proficiency, such as casualty exchange ratios and mission accomplishment. This report reviews application of ES to unit measurement, with emphasis on lessons learned while validating ES procedures for armer units and while developing ES for armored cavalry units.
