A Simulation-Based Methodology for Developing a Standarized Design Template for Future Battle Command Training Centers

Abstract

This paper provides a detailed perspective on the problem-solving methodology used to develop a capabilities-based design template for the Army's future Battle Command Training Center. Central to this process was a simulation-based approach to evaluating the core capabilities of the BCTC and validating capability requirements for three facility sizes. Additionally, it will show how our efforts generated an analytical tool that the Army can use to assist in the design and development of training facilities to ensure they possess the capabilities required of them, as well as a simulation tool that can identify the potential impacts on training as a result of changes that run the gamut from space and staff levels to changes in training requirements to the unit composition on a particular installation.
