The US Army Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC) Training Effectiveness Analysis (TEA) System studies assume that measured soldier job performance is a function of the interaction of five factors: the soldier, the trainer, the training subsystem, the hardware subsystem, and the training environment. Examples of how this assumption guides TEA studies and contributes to the analysis of Army training effectiveness are provided.
In the future the Human Factors specialist can expect to plan and conduct economic analysis-oriented training studies called cost and training effectiveness analyses (CTEA). This paper enumerates basic CTEA principles and describes a basic rifle marksmanship training study to illustrate their application.
