Common Battlefield Training for Airmen
Air Force members who do not routinely cross a defended perimeter when deployed may not have received sufficient training for doing so when they need to. The authors conducted surveys and interviews to determine the kinds of experiences airmen have had \"outside the wire,\" worked with subject-matter experts to categorize them and suggest training levels, and developed a series of recommendations for course content and further areas for study.

Common Battlefield Training for Airmen
Members of Air Force specialties that normally work inside the defended perimeter of a base or deployed location may sometimes have to cross that perimeter. What might seem fairly benign in some locations, such as Germany, would be hazardous in others, such as Iraq. And some initially deployed to a 'safe' location may be redeployed to a more hazardous one. While those who routinely go 'outside the wire'receive appropriate training, the others historically have not. The Air Force is thus seeking to establish common battlefield airman training (CBAT) and asked RAND Project Air Force to examine the content and resources both for this course and a companion course for non-ground combat personnel. RAND conducted surveys and interviews to determine the kinds of experiences airmen have had 'outside the wire' and worked with subject-matter experts to categorize them and suggest appropriate types and amounts of training for them. This report presents the results of these activities.

In this monograph, we evaluated the current CBAT course outline, comparing it to the training outlines for other courses, and concluded that CBAT will resemble an abridged version of the SF training program. On that assumption, we built a strawman CBAT POI and used it with the RAND Schoolhouse Model to estimate the resources required for a CBAT course. This is not a complete picture of the resources needed for all CBAT elements because we were not able to calculate the cost of facilities or consumables. We have, however, provided estimates for facilities and consumables to help the user calculate
