The Naval Submarine Medical Research Lab continues work with the Submarine Learning Center as part of Task Force EXCEL. The Task Force for Excellence through Commitment to Education and Learning (EXCEL) was established by the CNO as the catalyst for the Revolution in Training. In the process of defining individual human performance requirements for submarine tasks, the team conducts job analysis meetings focused on six rates. They define the human performance requirements by identifying specific job tasks and dividing them into specific behaviors and determining the knowledge, skills and abilities required to perform each. Once defined, these requirements are validated and prioritized by CFFC (Commander, Fleet Forces Command), or other equivalent decision-makers. One of our research psychologists participated as a Human Performance Professional in the Machinist Mate (Weapons) (SS) Scoping Meeting held at Naval Submarine School, Groton, CT. Additionally, our scientist participated in the Electronics Technician (SS) Job Task Analysis in Norfolk.
