Abstract
To determine the relation between device- and tank-based gunnery performance in the U.S. Army National Guard, two groups of 29 armor crews were tested on the Conduct-of-Fire Trainer (COFT) 1 day before undergoing live-fire Table VIII evalu- ation. A significant (p I .05) positive linear relation between COlT and Table VIII scores was found for Group 1 (i.e., the normative group) and confirmed for Group 2 (i.e., the cross-validation group), with the Group 1 predictive model accounting for more than half of the variance in the live-fire scores of both groups. An easy-to-use tool was then developed from pooled group data to help unit trainers accurately predict the probability of successful first-run Table VIII qualification for individual tank crews. Additional research needed to maximize the payoff from prediction tool usage is discussed.
