Development of a Methodology for Measuring Transfer of Training Effects for Tactical Training Systems

Abstract

A methodology for the measurement of transfer of training between a battle simulation (Dunn-Kempf) and a tactical field exercise (REALTRAIN) was developed. The methodology is based on evaluation of tactical performance in company level combined arms exercises (offensive mission) in both training environments. This report documents the development, tryout, and refinement of a tactical performance evaluation instrument and discusses the development and use of an evaluator training program. Attached to the report is research plan for determining the reliability of measurement for the instrument developed during this study and for conducting a transfer of training experiment between Dunn- Kempf training exercises and REALTRAIN field exercises. The report and the performance evaluation instrument have application for evaluating the effectiveness of tactical training for Company/Team leaders.
