Tank Crewman (M60A1) Readiness Tests.

Abstract : This document provides tests and administrative guidance for evaluating M60A1 tank crewman job readiness. General procedures, time estimates, and support equipment for using the tests in a unit setting are given first. Remaining sections of the report give detailed test administration and scoring procedures for the crew positions, driver, loader, gunner, and tank commander. The tests cover knowledge and skill aspects of the important crewman tasks: those tasks that are most relevant to crew gunnery proficiency. The tests are designed for use by the unit commander in diagnosing crewmen abilities in conducting before-operations checks, disassembling and assembling weapons, and driving, loading, and shooting in a tactical setting. When used with the three companion documents, Tank Crewman (M60A1) Training Modules, Tank Crew (M60A1) Performance Exercise, and Program Management for a Tank Crewman Skills Training Program, the readiness tests provide an integrated 'train-up' package for annual gunnery evaluation.
