Abstract : The Infantry Fighting Vehicle-M2 is scheduled for introduction into the inventory during FY 1982. The U.S. Army Infantry School prepared a three week add n course to 11B OSUT to qualify IFV crewmen as 11M10. This course required validation prior to implementation. The validation method used involved on site observation involving Training Program Evaluation (TPE) of two course tryouts. Separate reviews of the Lesson Outlines and course tests were performed. The proposed course was found to meet the objectives of 11M training but seven major recommendations for course improvement were made. Numerous observations and suggestions on conduct of training, Lesson Outlines and Testing are included.
