This article presents an overview of a contemporary research protocol conducted at the Marine Corps Weapons Training Battalion, Quantico, VA. The study was a comprehensive collaborative research initiative that evaluated a variety of environmental, auditory, and vestibular factors among Marines enrolled in the Breacher Training Course. The length of each course is 2 weeks and involves multiple exposures to blast overpressure and physical shock from ingress strategies used during the training. Observational data were collected pretraining, during training, and posttraining between September and June 2007. There was no change in the way the Marines conducted their training, and all data were collected based on the actual training scenario. The primary objective of this research protocol was to determine if Marines in the Breacher Training Course were at risk of injury during standard training practices. The principal conclusions were that hearing loss was statistically and clinically significant whereas the vestibular findings were overall unremarkable.
本文概述了在弗吉尼亚州匡蒂科海军陆战队武器训练营开展的一项当代研究方案。该研究是一项全面的合作研究计划，评估了参加破障训练课程的海军陆战队队员面临的各种环境、听觉和前庭因素。每门课程为期2周，训练期间会多次接触到爆破超压以及训练中进入策略所产生的身体冲击。2007年9月至6月期间，在训练前、训练期间和训练后收集了观察数据。海军陆战队的训练方式没有变化，所有数据都是根据实际训练场景收集的。该研究方案的主要目的是确定参加破障训练课程的海军陆战队队员在标准训练操作过程中是否有受伤风险。主要结论是，听力损失在统计学和临床上都具有显著意义，而前庭检查结果总体上并不明显。
