Prototype Staff Training and Evaluation Methods for Future Forces.
Abstract
The purpose of this report is to document the design, development, and demonstration of a prototype training package to improve staff performance and a prototype performance evaluation package for staffs using advanced command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems. These prototypes were implemented in a simulation-based experiment to examine the impact of digital systems on future Battle Command at the battalion and brigade level. This report first presents a review of previous research and relevant literature on training design and evaluation issues. The design and development of the prototype training and evaluation packages are described and are followed by discussions of formative results and lessons learned. The major research products associated with training and evaluation for the implementation are presented in the five-volume set of materials entitled Training and Measurement Support Package, Battle Command Reengineering III, Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab. The formative evaluation provided valuable information for revisions and additional trials of the prototype training and evaluation package are required to validate its efficacy and utility. Future implementation should lead to further development of this prototype training and evaluation package that targets higher-order cognitive skills needed on the digital battlefield.
