Appendix A

Test Administrative Guides and Criterion Scoring Checklists for the GST

The GST is an evaluation tool with which the unit can determine readiness to move toward crew tasks and conduct live-fire gunnery to meet prescribed training levels. It is used to evaluate the crew member's ability to perform gunnery-related skills. It does not replace tasks in the soldier's manuals.

Administrative Procedures

As a minimum, the appropriate tasks of the GST must be administered--

  • Semiannually.
  • When crew members change positions.
  • Before gunnery qualification, unless the crew members qualified in their current vehicle position within the past three months.

The GST is administered using tasks, conditions, and standards, as well as training evaluation guidelines and performance checklists. At no time will tasks be deleted from the GST; however, the commander may add tasks for a more comprehensive evaluation.

All members of the scout squad should take the test. The commander and gunner must achieve a GO on all tasks (appropriate for their weapon systems).

The GST should also be used as a diagnostic tool to determine the level and effectiveness of cross-training throughout the section.

Prerequisites

Preliminary gunnery training must be conducted before administering the GST.

Evaluation Procedures

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS

The evaluator logs each crew member in on a roster at all stations and provides him with all materials and equipment displayed in the manner outlined in this guide. The evaluator must use the criterion checklist for each task. He informs the crew member of his performance on the task and directs him either to move to the next station or to further training. Only one crew member may be tested at a time, unless stated otherwise in the guideline.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR PERSONNEL RECIEVING A NO-GO

If the crew member does not achieve the standard indicated on the checklist, he receives a NO-GO. When a crew member receives a NO-GO, he must be critiqued, to include an explanation of his mistakes and what he must do to correct them. The crew member will not be retested until his immediate supervisor has initialed the scoresheet indicating that the individual has been retrained and is ready to retest. If a crew member receives an additional NO-GO on the same task, he must return to be retested on another date.

Evaluation Criteria

Either internal or external evaluators may evaluate the test; external evaluation is recommended.

The individuals performing the test must complete all actions outlined in the performance checklist within a specified time limit to achieve a GO for the task.

At the conclusion of each task, if the individual failed to meet the prescribed standards, he will be critiqued on those areas that caused him to fail the task and be directed to retake the test at a later date.

Scoring

Personnel receive either a GO or NO-GO on each task. NO-GOs are scored for--

  • Failing to complete the task.
  • Incorrectly performing task steps (or performing steps out of sequence).
  • Failing to meet time standards.

Performance Checklists

The performance checklist for all stations must be updated when new soldier's manuals and technical manuals are issued, to ensure standardization in training and testing.
