Seminar Training for Command Groups

Abstract

The Seminar approach to training has been growing in popularity in the Army training community as a result of the success of the Battle Command Training Program (BCTP). In April 1992 the U.S. Army Combined Arms Command- Training requested that the Fort Leavenworth Field Unit of the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences conduct a project with the following goals: (1). Using the Battle Command Training Program (BCTP) seminar as a model, evaluate the effect of seminars on subsequent performance on a command post training exercise (CPX). (2). Define a suitable format for a seminar as part of a command post training strategy for each echelon of command. This paper describes the BCTP model and presents findings and recommendations concerning the stated goals. Command group training, Training methods, Team building.
