Design of Battle Simulations for Command and Staff Training

Abstract

This report summarizes findings from 10 years of research at the Army Research Institute Fort Leavenworth Field Unit on command and staff training with automated battle simulations. Topics include design issues related to training objectives, performance measurement, simulation requirements, user interfaces, and workload estimation. This assessment of lessons learned provides guidance to developers of the next generation of battle simulations. Keywords: Army training, Command and Control, Computers, Systems, Battles, Simulation, Operations research, Computerized simulation.
