Abstract

THE EFFECTS OF MOUT TACTICS ON LEADERSHIP ABILITY Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) is a major part of today’s military conflicts and is a major contributor to our success in many modern-day conflict locations, such as the Middle East. MOUT is simply how a military unit would traverse a town or village that have buildings in them, both effectively and with little casualties. Every military training program from the Navy SEALs to an Air Force ROTC detachment needs to go through this training. Locally, the biggest problem is the lack of MOUT-like training at Detachment 028 Embry-Riddle, Prescott Arizona. One way to overcome this short fall is to get a MOUT training Facility on campus and implement it into the detachments training program. The question then becomes if teaching cadets MOUT tactics would benefit them as they prepare to become officers in the Air Force? With this research we would be able to learn if teaching MOUT tactics benefits cadets’ Field Training performance, a deciding factor if a cadet is well prepared for active duty. We anticipate the data to show that implementing MOUT training will increase Field Training performance and ultimately produce better officers for the Air Force.
