Effects of Apache Helicopter Crew and Unit Training on Combat Mission Effectiveness

This paper reports preliminary findings from an investigation of the relationship between training programs for AH-64 (Apache) helicopter pilots and combat mission effectiveness. Data collection and analyses are still in progress. Two key questions are being addressed in this research: (1) How can Apache aircrew and unit training be designed to improve overall combat mission effectiveness?; and (2) Is it possible to train to the levels of proficiency needed in combat? One reason for seeking answers to these questions is to better understand operational capabilities and limitations under different training programs. This was the primary research interest. Another important use for answers to these questions would be a basis for making cost/benefit tradeoff analyses (not a focus of the present research). The research goal was to causally link important features of training programs to overall mission effectiveness. (KR).
