Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the 'Simulation-Based Multiechelon Training Program for Armor Units - Battalion Exercise Expansion (SIMUTA-B)' Project, a follow-on effort to the 'Simulation-Based Multiechelon Training Program for Armor Units (SIMUTA)' Project. The purposes of the project were to: (a) implement and validate the structured simulation-based training development methodology derived during the SIMUTA Project, (b) expand the U.S. Army Armor Center's Virtual Training Program (VTP) exercise library, and (c) revise portions of the VTP's original training support package. The report first describes the VTP initiative and identifies the SIMUTA-B Project objectives. It then describes the project's design phase, formative evaluation effort, and development phase. The design phase section covers the processes of identifying training objectives and composing the mission scenario. The formative evaluation section identifies the evaluation strategy and methodology, and the product testing schedule. The development section provides highlights of development activities and accomplishments. The final section presents lessons learned for use in future development efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides an historical account and analysis of the U.S. Army Research Institute's (ARI) research and development (R & D) efforts on structured simulation-based training (SST). These R & D efforts have led to the development of 30 research reports, 14 conference papers, and over 200 training support packages (TSPs). The developed TSPs focused on optimizing the simulation-based training opportunities for armor and mechanized infantry platoons and companies, and their battalion and brigade staffs. The TSPs have also been developed for representatives of a battalion's or a brigade's combat support and combat service support elements. This report's findings indicate that the developed TSPs would, if utilized properly, help the U.S. Army more fully exploit its advanced simulation-training systems. In addition, 43 lessons learned have been derived from these SST projects. The present report provides a central information source on ARI's SST efforts, and has important implications for future SST research and development efforts."--Stinet.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research product presents a procedure that can be followed to develop small group focused training exercises. It is a specific application of the methodology contained in the Guide to Development of Structured Simulation-Based Training, published by API in 1997. Both that guide and this product are based on work performed under the aspices of the Army Research Institute (ARI) and the Force XXI Training Program. The development effort entitled Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (known as COBRAS), resulted in construction of trainign support packages (TSPs) for large scale exercises and for small group vignettes. This product contains examples and explanations that specifically address the construction and evaluation of small group structured exercises. It addresses the use of simulation (live, virtual, and constructive) and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the uses of simulation for small group exercises."--P.i.

Book excerpt: "In 1994 the U.S. Army embarked on a widespread training effort known as the Force XXI Training Program to meet the challenges of decreasing resources and increasing performance expectations. In mid-year, a Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) and the U.S. Army Armor Center and Fort Knox (MG Larry Jordan, Commanding General) that established the virtual brigade training program (VBTP). As part of the VBTP, the ARI Armored Forces Research Unit at Fort Knox, the Directorate of Training and Doctrine Development-Force XXI, and Fort Knox joined forces to sponsor and conduct research and development of simulation-based training for the conventional mounted brigade staff. The work was performed under a project called Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (COBRAS)."--DTIC.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) and the Force XXI Training Program have sponsored the development of a structured simulation-based training program for selected staffs of conventional mounted brigades. The development effort, entitled the Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (and known as COBRAS) resulted in construction of training support packages (TSPs) for large-scale exercises and for small-group vignettes. Development of the scenario and all TSP materials followed the guidance found in the Methodology for the Development of Structured Simulation-Based Training, published by ARI in 1995. This report documents an expanded methodology, based on experience in the COBRAS program. The expansion is contained in the Guide for Development of Structured Simulation-Based Training. The Guide contains additional examples and warnings, and more in-depth coverage of TSP construction and formative evaluations. This report discusses the activities in the methodology."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM) is developing the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) to support maneuver training for platoon and company units. The CCTT is the first part of the Combined Anms Tactical Training (CATT) system providing operational training for combined arms foroes on a virtual battlefield. The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) also is developing structured CCTT training support packages TSPs) for required mission and task training. Successfiil structured training in the Virtual Training program (VTP) with Simulation Networking (SIMNET) established a model for similar CaT training. This report examines integrated system management needed to implement suceessfull training with the CCTT and its TSPs. While CCTT development has focused on simulation requirements, and TSP development has focused on training requirements, total system management has been a secondary consideration. Conceived in a Total Quality Management (TQM) framework, the report proposes processes designed to sustain and improve the training effectiveness of the CCTT thronghout system life. The emphasis is on continuous monitoring of training proces and products to provide management feedback, and establishing process action teams to define and solve system problems. The report identifies some training process indicators, and possible management Support tools."--DTIC.

This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critical link between psychology and the military is imprtant to recruiting, training, socializing, assigning, employing, deploying, motivating, rewarding, maintaining, managing, integrating, retaining, transitioning, supporting, counseling, and healing military members. These areas are hardly distinct, and the chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Military Psychology have contents that cross these boundaries. Collectively, the topics covered in this volume describe the myriad ways in which modern psychology influences warfare and vice versa. The extensive topics included come from within the areas of clinical, industrial/organizational, experimental, engineering, and social psychology. The contributors are top international experts in military psychology -- some uniformed soldiers, others academics and clinicians, and others civilian employees of the military or other government agencies. They address important areas in which the science and practice of psychology supports military personnel in their varied and complex missions. Among the topics addressed here are suitability for service, leadership, decision making, training, terrorism, socio-cultural competencies, diversity and cohesion, morale, quality-of-life, ethical challenges, and mental health and fitness. The focus is the ways in which psychology promotes the decisive human dimension of military effectiveness. Collectively, the 25 topical chapters of this handbook provide an overview of modern military psychology and its tremendous influence on the military and society as a whole.

Book excerpt: "This research and development effort, called Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation III (COBRAS III), designed simulation -based, structured training for the staffs of the conventionally-equipped brigade combat team (BCT). The effort included designing a progressive approach to presenting and utilizing training objectives. The resulting product was a set of "performance objectives" that provides techniques and procedures for command and staff performance. The performance objectives resulted from and support the purpose of the training, which is to facilitate BCT preparation for combat training center rotations and deployment. The performance objective concept was an extension of the task analysis work conducted during the two proceedings projects. -- COBRAS I and COBRAS II."--DTIC.
