This pilot study analyzed eight programs of instruction (POI) and
five common cores for past officer basic courses (OBC) and compared
them to the 1988 Military Qualification Standards II (MQS)
revision. The purpose of the study was to assess the applicability
of past POIs to current training design. Infantry and
Transportation branches were studied. POIs for the pre-war and
mid-war years from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam were collected
and an instrument devised to systematize their contents. The
results were analyzed for common and critical tasks for peace, war
and mobilization. Data as to course length, intent and
prerequisites were also collected. The study found that the
training record is being destroyed but what remains is applicable
to modern training design. OBC has historically been allocated
major resources and common cores were found for all periods.
Mobilization critical tasks were discovered, but combat and
peacetime critical tasks were not. Thirteen universal training
tasks were identified. The study concludes that the current MQS
list is adequate but some items should be considered for inclusion
or elimination. Further study is indicated into other branches, the
common cores, and training given in the combat theater. Changes to
the Concept Based Requirements System are recommended.
