| This report summarizes a study program initiated to develop training requirements for complex strategic command-control systems. Such systems make demands on Naval officers which are somewhat different from other aspects of Naval service, and their exploration is important if the full potentiality of modern technology as applied to command-control is to be exploited. The study itself was concerned with the application of quantitative methods to development of such training requirements. ... |

|
| This report presents data from written questionnaires completed by 272 trainees representing five first-cycle training companies in the 63rdInfantry Regiment. Major findings of the survey are given. In the body of the report these findings are elaborated and considered within the context of the new soldier's first Army training. The findings are interpreted as evidence of problems which are essentially organizational rather than individual. These problems are seen as arising ... |
