As an alternative to developing exclusionary performance-based selection standards, the approach of this study was to modify the demands of shipboard damage-control tasks by using mechanical aids. Tasks selected included a mannequin drag (maximum distance in 30 s) and a CO2 bottle extinguisher carry (measured in seconds). A tether device and a shoulder strap were developed to improve performance on the respective tasks. Subjects were 24 women and 23 men stationed onboard the USS Emory S. Land (AS-39). Results indicated that average mannequin drag distance was 8.1 m for women and 25.2 m for men.
