“…It was determined that the existing most common sources of sappers' personal fears sappers have different frequency and intensity of manifestation depending on the prevalence of certain accentuative differences. That is, the sources of personal fears and accentuative differences of sappers are closely related, which has been confirmed in a number of studies (Anglin et al, 2017;Hjeltnes et al, 2015;Yen, 2020).…”

The purpose of this study is to reveal the features of psychomotor training of a sapper, the development of the necessary sensory-intuitive skills to regulate their actions and deeds while performing tasks in the minefield. Material and methods. Three series of psychological experiments were conducted. The importance of psychomotor training in the context of reducing the level of anxiety and personal fears of sappers was revealed. The research was integrated into the process of training in the discipline “Blasting”. The study did not change the structure of the discipline, as it was only related to the content. The collected and analyzed data were used for the quantitative method. Results. It was determined that the most talented servicemen, with well-developed coordination of movements, mental stability, ability to regulate personal fears, make quick decisions, work alone for a long time, stay calm in tense situations, should be involved in the sappers’ activities. Conclusions. Our psychological training “Minefield” promotes the development of professionally necessary qualities among military sappers, provides the development of psychomotor and sensory-intuitive skills to regulate movements and actions during combat missions. Improves constructive attitudes in the unit of sappers, friendliness, reflexive listening, kindness, leadership and patience.

“…Cognitive readiness refers to the mental preparation of military personnel with military KSAs to perform in military operations (Crameri et al, 2021). Situation awareness, memory, transfer, meta-cognition, automaticity, problem-solving, decision-making, mental flexibility, creativity, leadership, and emotion are considered components related to cognitive readiness that needs to be established to deal with the COE involving multi-domain operations for processing information, making quick and accurate decisions in the complex operating environment of military operations (Crameri et al, 2021;Preddy et al, 2019;Anglin et al, 2017). The characteristics of the complex operating environment (COE) are dynamic, complex, and unpredictable require military personnel who are cognitively ready to sustain competence to execute the military mission.…”

The concept of cognitive readiness is related to the mental preparation of military personnel with knowledge, skill, and abilities (KSAs) to perform in a military operation that requires military personnel to think and react. The purpose of this article is to highlight the issue and consideration concept of cognitive readiness for the Malaysian Army (MA). The MA realizes the challenges in ensuring military personnel at each level (strategic, operational, and tactical) are cognitively ready for military operations involving multi-domination operations. To address this issue and consideration, the MA has to provide a strategy related to implementing the science of training related to factors that influence the transfer of training and its effect on cognitive readiness. Moreover, future research in this area should focus on developing theoretical and conceptual frameworks of cognitive readiness, which can explore and analyze factors that contribute to enhancing military personnel readiness in the MA.

“…Mission readiness refers to the degree a Solider or a military unit is capable of accomplishing their assigned mission. Anglin, Novell, Murphy, and Goodwin (2017) have found that WQS have significant correlations with basic marksmanship knowledge, handgun familiarity, initiative, and large animal hunting experience. However, no research has been done to confirm that WQS can indeed be a suitable indication of Soldiers' marksmanship mission readiness (MMR), or the degree to which WQS performance is representative of Soldiers' ability to successfully perform dynamic and complex marksmanship tasks.…”

The U.S. military uses performance in standardized weapons qualification tests as one benchmark of mission readiness. However, validity concerns have risen about the current qualification model in regards to its suitability to measure marksmanship ability in realistic, battlefield conditions as well as its relevance with recent weapon technological advancements. The present analysis provides an initial look at the relationship between performance in a standard weapons qualification test (qualification score) and performance attributes of marksmanship recorded prior to a field training mission. Marksmanship performance was measured using a simulator and a combined static-dynamic methodology capable of assessing the entire marksmanship process of moving, locating, positioning, and engaging targets. Results indicate that qualification scores in the current qualification model are a poor predictor of slow, untimed static marksmanship and a good predictor of high-paced dynamic marksmanship timing and mobility performance attributes during a rested state, prior to embarking on a mission.
