A COMPUTER ASSISTED GAME FOR TRAINING ARMY CORPS COMMUNICATORS.
Abstract
The thesis presents a computer assisted game, based on a current map board exercise, designed to train army officers in the capabilities, organization, and deployment techniques of the signal battalion. A team of players using the game directed a simulated signal battalion in a European tactical environment experiencing equipment failures, vehicle failures, and site attacks. The decisions made by the players were similar to those in combat and were entered by means of a remote computer terminal. These decisions included installing and deleting communications systems, connecting and disconnecting equipment, moving vehicles, and establishing communications sites. The computer, acting in the roles of battalion communications personnel, nature, and the enemy, informed the players of its actions by means of the same terminal. (Author)
