This report describes Tactical Team Resource Management (T2RM) behaviors exhibited by Special Operations Forces MC-I 30P aircrews (aircraft commander, copilot, left navigator, right navigator, flight engineer, loadmaster, and communication specialist) as they planned and executed a simulated combat mission during annual simulator refresher training Five crew process elements (situational awareness; function allocation; time management; tactics employment and communication) and several indices if mission performance were recorded for five specific mission phases (mission planning, low-level operations, airdrop, air refueling, and infiltration/exfiltration). Team process overall was highly related to mission performance (r = .86). All of the crew process elements except communication were also predictive of overall crew performance. The relative predictive value of the specific process elements varied across the five mission phases, but the predictive value of communication was consistently low. Several structural and crew demographic variables were also explored with crew size, focus, and squadron affiliation appearing to have large effects. We summarize our main findings within the context of past cockpit resource management (CRM) research and MC-13P operations. We conclude the report with several recommendations for the conduct of ORM training based on our findings and observations.
