Macro-Level Training Data: A Conceptual Model Relating Training Cost and Effectiveness Data to Training Policy Interests and Issues

Abstract

This paper is the first phase of an analytical effort to determine the types of data required to support the needs of OSD and the Services for formulating and supporting training policy decisions and to assess the adequacy of current training data bases. The conceptual model of the training system presented here is intended to provide a systematic description of some of the functional elements of the training system and to help define the types of data that are most useful for the operation and management of the training system. The Training Management Model (TMM) describes the operation of the military training system and specifies the major training effectiveness data that are needed from a macro-level management perspective. The TMM and its three functioning modules were used to define the categories or types of data that are required by macro-level training managers at the DoD and Service levels. The data requirements were integrated into a proposed set of strategies and options for the development of the needed macro-level training data bases.
