A Procedure for Development of Structured Vignette Training Exercises for Small Groups

Abstract

This research product presents a procedure that can be followed to develop small group focused training exercises. It is a specific application of the methodology contained in the Guide to Development of Structured Simulation-Based Training, published by ARI in 1997. Both that guide and this product are based on work performed under the auspices of the Army Research Institute (ARI) and the Force XXI Training Program. The development effort, entitled Combined Arms Operations at Brigade Level, Realistically Achieved Through Simulation (known as COBRAS), resulted in construction of training support packages (TSPs) for large scale exercises and for small group vignettes. This product contains examples and explanations that specifically address the construction and evaluation of small group structured exercises. It addresses the use of simulation (live, virtual, and constructive) and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the uses of simulation for small group exercises.
