Trial Application of the Embedded Training Guide to an Armored System: Lessons Learned
Abstract
In June 1991, the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences published 'A Guide for Early Embedded Training Decisions.' That document, for the first time, provided the Army with specific procedures for determining what training to embed in weapons systems and what to train by other means. This report describes a trial application of the embedded training (ET) guide for a proposed armored weapons system. It describes the procedures used to apply the ET guide and the lessons learned from that application. Included are procedures for compiling and clustering tasks and source documentation for the embedded training analysis, and suggestions for improving use of the decision flowcharts in performing the analysis. Application of the ET guide to the future armored system demonstrates that the guide can be used to make objective recommendations for using ET for a complex weapons system. Six problems were encountered in using the ET guide, but all were easily corrected with minor alterations to a few of the decision flowcharts and help screens.
