Capabilities of Future Training Support Packages

Abstract

A training support package (TSP) integrates all the information and materials needed for the successful conduct of a training exercise or event. As the Army transforms to the Future Force, the concept of a TSP needs to transform to make TSPs more accessible and adaptable. This report identifies and analyzes five key capabilities needed in future TSPs: rapid tailoring or modification, reach, simulated operating environment, performance measurement, and pretests/selection criteria. The analysis is based on results of a survey of designers of future training and a review of key acquisition documents for Future Combat Systems. The result is a broadened view of the capabilities needed in future TSPs.
