Navy Recruit Training Optimization, Post 1980: Training System Design and A Plan for Implementation.

This report concludes phases two and three of a three phase project conducted under TAEG's Recruit Training Optimization project. It provides a curriculum design, a description of the optimal curriculum with guidelines for training, and a plan for implementation. Phase one effort was reported by TAEG Report number 34. Essentially the design utilizes a systems approach to provide a four phase modularized curriculum addressing administrative processing and training preparedness, military training, Navy training and detachment and transfer training. A unique adaptive screening and training procedure is included in the initial phase. The curriculum provides for training evolutions to be accomplished within a framework approximating fleet daily routine with specific attention directed toward promoting understanding of the place and function of the individual within the overall Navy system. Emphasis is placed upon developing individual preparedness and responsibility in meeting Navy standards as a prerequisite for a variety of follow-on training and duty assignments. (Author)
