Training Lessons Learned and Confirmed from Military Training Research

Abstract

This report summarizes lessons learned about military training that were accumulated over a 6-year period of training research. These lessons include new insights regarding training as well as lessons that reinforce basic principles of training and learning. The findings are based on the authors' observations and assessments of training as well as training experiments. Much of the training involved new and emerging training technologies. Some of it focused on training with futuristic equipment. Live, virtual, and constructive training environments were observed. The report integrates the lessons learned and insights regarding training that were documented in prior reports, as well as those that were not officially documented. These lessons should be useful as new equipment is developed and training programs are designed. The report is intended for use by military trainers, training designers, and training developers in institutional training environments and in operational units.
