The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has identified a need for standardized measures to quantify mission-related performance when conducting research in the Special Operations community. Based on operator input, five measures of physical performance were selected to be evaluated. The five tests are: (1) maximal handgrip strength and endurance, (2) maximal number of pull-ups, (3) maximal number of repetitions during a timed step test, (4) manual dexterity, and (5) shooting skills. Measures 1-4 were evaluated during various training scenarios: winter and land warfare, high speed boat and Sea, Air, Land (SEAL) Delivery Vehicle (SDV) operations, and parachuting. The shooting skills test is currently being evaluated. A total of 30 operators volunteered to participate. Baseline measurements were established on all operators. Post- operation measurements were compared to baseline to quantify changes in performance.
