Early Training Strategy Development for Individual and Collective Training

Abstract

The training strategy for a new weapon system identifies the training devices required, the tasks each device will be used to train, and the circumstances under which each device will be employed. Consideration of embedded training (i.e., use of operational equipment and training software to provide training) as the first option for new weapon systems forces early development of training strategies. Training development tools, such as the Optimization of Simulation-Based Training System, are available to support development of a training strategy, but an overall model is needed to show how the various tools can be integrated to support strategy development. This report describes a high-level model for early training estimation that incorporates other training development tools. The benefits of this model include integration of individual skills training across duty positions, individual skills training with collective training, collective task training across unit missions, and collective task training across echelons.
