USAF Security Forces Training Needs

Abstract

Security forces ensure the United States Air Force (USAF) combat capability by providing force protection. The Air Force Research Laboratory and McDonald Research Associates have launched a research and development project dedicated to exploring affordable strategies for security forces distributed mission training-known as SecForDMT. The current approach consists of the design, development, and evaluation of distributed interactive simulations. Expert assessments indicate the potential of this technology for support of instructional objectives involving command and control, decision making, and team coordination. To ensure emerging technology supports warfighter needs, technology assessments must be considered in combination with training requirements. The purpose of this paper is to review empirical data that describe training needs of security forces enlisted and officer personnel and to discuss implications for SecForDMT.
