Skills Maintenance and Reacquisition Training Research Program: Tactical Air Command Preliminary Evaluation.

Abstract : Contingency chi square analyses disclosed significant relationships between skill ratings and bomb scores. Multiple regression analyses of formation ratings indicated that position keeping and visual lookout were significant components of formation performance. The validity and generalizability of pop-up and low altitude tactical formation skill measurement techniques were investigated in a subsequent operational test using aircrew personnel of five fighter wings. Data from this evvaluation confirmed the findings of the earlier measurement development efforts. These results were interpreted as evidence of the validity of the skill measurement approach.
