his chapter summarizes the significant findings and analysis according to the thematic approach of the study. It presents corresponding conclusions that serve as the basis for the recommendations.
5.1. Summary
In this research, survey, interview and document analysis were the tools used in measuring the level of the combat engineering capability of NCEBde in terms of Mobility, Countermobility, Survivability, and General engineering which comprised the four functions of combat engineering.
5.1.1. Combat Engineering Capability of the NCEBde
In the survey, four (4) sets of questions were asked to the target respondents of NCEBde and TNCEO for each function of combat engineering to measure this capability of the brigade. It sought to solicit …show more content…
The mean score represents the general capability as determined from the developmental pre-set criteria.
In terms of mobility, the overall mean score for the level of capability of the NCEBde was 3.04 and a standard deviation of .56 with an equivalent score on a 10-scale rating of 7.61 interpreted qualitatively as Capable.
This was generally concurred with the response from the interviews of key informants who were considered technically knowledgeable in their field and have first hand information on the different issues concerning the inquired capabilities. They, however, disagreed on the adequacy of mobility equipment available for NCEBde as they considered them insufficient for combat support purposes. These were further supported by the available data corroborating their …show more content…
However, they were also one in saying that there is just no adequate equipment in the inventory that is available for the combat engineering mission.
5.1.2. Differences in perception of Combat Engineering Capability of NCEBde
The differences in the perception of NCEBde personnel according to rank, age and unit assignment were considered relevant to the factors affecting the Combat Engineering Capability of the brigade. The differences in perception of capability, according to rank, age and unit assignment were assessed using the One Way Analysis of Variance (One Way ANOVA) with Bonferroni as an accompanying post hoc test carried out to determine the direction of significant differences.
Difference in perception according to rank. The general perception of the combat engineering capability of NCEBde personnel according to rank was computed with the following mean scores of 2.89 for Officers, 3.22 for Enlisted Personnel, to test at 4.22 with a .000 significant values.
There were observed differences in how Officers and Enlisted Personnel perceive the NCEBde capability except for the General Engineering capability. The computed means show that Enlisted Personnel significantly gave higher ratings of capability as compared to
