In response to requests from other members of the Army community for performance degradation data, the U.S Army Chemical School has now recognized the need to synthesize the results from these tests into a single range of degradation values to make the results more useful. This research is concerned with the development of a methodology for obtaining a single range of estimates for the expected percent difference in performance of a task in chemical warfare conditions. The methodology incorporates all of the information available on human performance of combat tasks in a chemical environment, including the subjective judgments of military experts. |
