Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive thinking is a key component of competency in battle command. Unfortunately, expertise in adaptive thinking is not easily acquired and training typically requires the presence of a live instructor. This report presents the first evaluations of Captains in Command, an instructor less program for training adaptive thinking skills in company-grade officers. Participants were 36 students enrolled in the Maneuver Captain's Career Course (MCCC) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. Students received instruction on adaptive thinking and themes of battlefield thinking. They then viewed a series of vignettes, which placed them in the role of a company commander faced with complex tactical problems. After each vignette, students were asked to identify the critical tactical information required before a sound decision could be made. Three-dimensional animated characters provided coaching and discussed the relevant information identified by expert tacticians. With Captains in Command training, students showed significant improvements in their ability to identify critical information. They were also able to identify significantly more information than untrained students regardless of prior deployment experience. When the efficacy of instructor less Captains in Command training was compared to instructor-facilitated Think Like a Commander (TLAC) training, there were no significant differences in students' performance at the end of the program.

Download or read book Training Critical Thinking Skills for Battlefield Situation Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In battlefield situation assessment, officers must interpret information that is incomplete, unreliable, and often conflicting and gather new information to improve their assessments and plans. In previous work, a framework for these cognitive activities was developed based on interviews with activity-duty command staff, and a training method was developed. That training helped officers to find and assess the reliability of hidden assumptions and to resolve conflicting evidence. Forty-three U.S. Army officers participated in an experimental training study with scenario-based tests. Trained officers generated more accurate arguments concerning a given assessment than did controls. Improvements in quality were related to the increased relevance of their judgments. In some problems, training countered a tendency to change hypotheses too readily; in other problems, training countered a tendency to hold on to a hypothesis too long. Training did not decrease confidence in evaluations, nor did it hypersensitize officers to information."--DTIC.
