47(6)
Based on a Review of the Scientific Literature, We Identified a Set of Five Principles for Designing Occupationally Relevant PTSs, Which the Air Force Adopted
47(1)
Guided by These Five Principles, PTSs for Each BA Specialty Were Designed to Approximate How CPTs Are Performed in a Mission Environment
48(1)
We Supported the Development of METs for Each PTS
