A Technique for Refresher Training in the Naval Reserve

Abstract

Training to achieve readiness for mobilization in time of war or national emergency is the major peacetime task of the Naval Reserve. Since nearly all Naval Reserve personnel have served with active duty Navy forces, most have completed the initial formal training and/or on-the-job training associated with their respective designators, ratings, and billets. A primary objective of Naval Reserve training is the maintenance of these previously acquired proficiencies and skills. The Training Analysis and Evaluation Group reviewed a strategy based on the use of an operational scenario for refresher training which had been proposed for development and use in the Naval Reserve. Preliminary review established that its general application and use in Navy training was feasible. This study developed prototype scenario and training game materials in support of the proposed refresher training strategy. These prototype materials are for use in providing proficiency maintenance training in the Naval Reserve. The study also explored the use of microcomputers as a vehicle for presenting prototype materials.
