A Life-Cycle Approach to Implementing and Evaluating Army Training Programs

Abstract

The Life Cycle Evaluation concept was developed to provide a systematic approach to implementation and use issues for Army training programs. Two areas are focused on. First, a systematic approach to implementation is required so that the new program is integrated aggressively into the user's organization. Second, after implementation a careful evaluation must be conducted on how the program has changed (during implementation) and its actual (in the field), as opposed to potential (during R/D), effectiveness. In this paper the Life Cycle approach is illustrated by examples taken from the evaluation of the Army's MILES-TES program.
