“…To this end, we developed a field-ready Raven operator assessment tool appropriate for use by newly trained MTs. The development of such tools is consistent with the recognition that the distillation of expert knowledge into practical jobs aid can substantially aid training effectiveness and Soldier skill development (Evans, Blizzard, Jones, & Ryan, 2011;James & Dyer, 2010;Katz & Grubb, 2003;Schultz & Wagner, 1981). The assessment tool developed here specifically emphasizes three broad aspects of a Raven mission: Crew Operations, Vehicle Operator skills, and Mission Operator skills.…”

The success of home-unit Raven programs and Raven operational employment depends on effective and efficient Master Trainers (MTs). To this end, the present work presents the development of a fieldready Raven operator assessment tool in a standard Trained-Needs Practice-Untrained (TPU) format. This tool enhances the ability of newly trained Raven MTs to accurately evaluate the Raven operators under their guidance. Evaluation by noncommissioned officers (NCOs) in the Raven MT course indicated near-uniform agreement that the items on the assessment tool were both clearly stated and relevant for the evaluation of Raven operators. More importantly, the vast majority of respondents also indicated that they would use the assessment tool at their home units as an aid for training development and evaluation. 15.

“…Job aids have a rich history of organizational application, particularly in the military (see Department of the Army, 1999; Schultz & Wagner, 1981;Swezey, 1987). One of their foremost advantages is their ability to reduce the need for human retention of complex procedures and references (Department of the Army, 1999;Swezey, 1987).…”

“…Job performance aids have a rich history of organizational application, especially in the military (see Schultz & Wagner, 1981;Swezey, 1987; U.S. Department of the Army, 1999). In fact, earlier JRTC investigations have found support for the efficacy of job aids that were developed to improve troop leading procedures, information management, and casualty evacuation (Evans & Baus, 2006;Evans, Coerper, & Johnson, 2009;Evans, Reese, & Weldon, 2007).…”

The present investigation sought to quantify small unit tactical site exploitation (TSE) practices at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) and to determine the extent to which an existing job performance aid, the TSE Smart Card, might improve unit TSE performance. Unit TSE practices were measured by trainers/mentors using the TSE Checklist, a tool developed especially for the investigation. Over the course of nine unit rotations at JRTC, 518 checklists were collected and analyzed. The TSE Smart Card was found to positively influence unit performance in the areas of TSE background, planning, execution, and follow-up. Unit strengths and weaknesses in TSE operations were identified. Overall, units that rehearsed their TSE plans were significantly more likely to take advantage of TSE opportunities, to conduct TSE operations in a timely manner, and to orchestrate TSE in accordance with the combat situation.
