Identification of Knowledge and Skills and Investigation of Thought Processing

At the request of the U. S. Army Infantry School (USAIS), Work Unit CAMBCOM conducted research that identified the knowledge, skills, and investigated the thought processing of battalion commanders in six types of maneuver battalion. USAIS will use this work to validate that portion of the Infantry Officers Advanced Course that deals with the battalion commander, to serve as a basis for the development of student performance objectives of the USAIS, and to revise USAIS student literature where appropriate. The detailed results of this research are reported in this document.
