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.

Download or read book The COBRAS Synthetic Theater of War Exercise Trial written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report details the design and development process for the Synthetic Theater of War (STOW) exercise produced in the COBRAS III project. The exercise was to serve as the vehicle for three primary research areas: training support package and resource requirements, technology and infrastructure requirements, and potential for training value. The multiechelon training audience of the Brigade Combat Team included the brigade commander and staff, the commander and staff of one battalion task force (TF), and the line company commanders, first sergeants, fire support team leaders, and scout platoon of that TF. The STOW environment linked constructive simulation (the Brigade/Battalion Battle Simulation BBS and Modular Semi-Automated Forces ModSAF) and virtual simulation (Simulation Networking SIMNET) and reconfigurable simulators). The trial implementation in February - March 1998 involved members of TF 1-101, 3rd Brigade, and 42nd Infantry Division of the New York National Guard, along with supporting participants from the Force XXI Training Program, contracted logistics support (CLS) staffs, and the COBRAS Team. Training support was found to be manageable but resource-intensive. Technology and infrastructure findings were mixed: the systems promise exciting training opportunities, but there were many suggestions for improvement from participants. From the unit members' point of view, the exercise provided valuable training, and there was strong support for continued STOW and reconfigurable simulator development and use."--Stinet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report describes the Structured Training for Units in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (STRUCCTT) Project. The purposes of this project were to: (a) design and develop a basic core set of exercises to support initial Close Combat Tactical Trainer (user testing and future fielding, and (b) develop an exercise framework within which future exercises can fit as part of a contextually complete family of exercises. This report first describes the background of this initiative (the use of structured simulation-based training in CCTT) and identifies the objectives laid out for project completion. It then discusses the project's design, development, and formative evaluation processes. The design section describes the processes and procedures involved in creation of the exercise mission scenarios and training objectives. The development section highlights the processes that comprise and contribute to the creation of completed exercises, to include training support packages and demonstrations of performance. The formative evaluation section describes the project evaluation strategy and methodology, and the processes by which exercise testing and modification were conducted. Following this section, the lessons learned section presents issues which framed the project's progress and development, and which may provide insight and directions for additional developmental work. A final concluding section discusses the ramifications of this project, with recommendations for future development efforts."--Stinet.

Download or read book Development of a Refined Staff Group Trainer written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This Staff Group Trainer (SGT) project was a research and development effort sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences in coordination with the Force XXI Training Program. As a follow-on effort to the previous SGT project, the goal was to refine a brigade-level staff training program to more effectively and efficiently coordinate the activities within and between the individual staff sections in the brigade command post. The program was designed to deliver training to newly formed, inexperienced staffs conducting the staff functions that support the military decision-making process within the execution phase of the brigade area defense mission. Program design and development were based upon lessons learned from the previous SGT effort, structured design methodology, instructional systems design techniques, adult learning principles, as well as team and mental model research. The refined training program further demonstrated the capability of structured, computer-driven, collective staff training. It advanced the techniques for development of structured staff training and integration of technology into the training process. The program incorporated innovative features including automated performance measures and structured feedback. This report provides details on the SGT background, design concept, technology development process, training support package development process, formative evaluation techniques, lessons learned, and conclusions."--Stinet.

Download or read book A Procedure for Development of Structured Vignette Training Exercises for Small Groups written by Charlotte H. Campbell and published by . 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: "The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), in coordination with the Directorate of Training and Doctrine Development-Force XXI and Fort Knox, sponsored this research and development effort to design simulation based training for selected members of conventional mounted brigade staff. Initial analysis of performance requirements in existing documentation revealed that the performance specifications were not sufficiently detailed for brigade battle staffs. Therefore, a systematic performance analysis was conducted. Brigade staff actions were role played by military subject matter experts (SME). Performance requirements were analyzed for three missions (movement to contact, area defense, and deliberate attack). After each role play session, SMEs responded to questionnaires regarding their actions and were interviewed extensively by training analysts Once the information was gathered, it was refined into task statements. The outcome of this process is a list of tasks that identify both individual and interactive performance requirements. The Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (COBRAS) Brigade Staff Tasks are intended to be used as coaching guides for training observers and as job aids for the training participants."--DTIC.
