Research on Training Management Techniques for USAREUR: Phase 1, Design and Tryout
Abstract
The objective of this project is to develop a training management approach that will enable USAREUR commanders to sustain unit and individual combat skills at the levels necessary to accomplish their assigned missions, while continuing to meet the day-to-day demands on their battalions. The approach was to first develop a conceptual framework for the accomplishment of sustainment training and to develop on a preliminary basis the training management techniques necessary to implement that concept. The primary thrust of this management concept is to expand the application of performance standards to all areas of training management and focus the battalion staff on evaluating to standards on planned periodic schedules. As such the model deals primarily with the battalion as the quality control agent rather than with training techniques per se. The proposed techniques were tried out during the course of a year in one USAREUR infantry battalion. This report describes the results of the development try-out phase and makes recommendations for actions that can be taken to improve the overall USAREUR training environment.
