New Skills Training Plan for Map Functions and Passage of Lines on a Soldier System

Abstract

The training products in this report bridge the gaps between training digital and non-digital forces. The new skills plans present ways to teach digital skills associated with new computer-based technologies, but also relate these skills to current procedures and techniques used without these technologies. Consequently, these products help Soldiers learn and retain the new digital skills, and also to retain the associated non-digital skills required to perform the same tasks. The two tasks selected to serve as the prototypes for these training plans are map functions and the conduct of a passage of lines as the stationary unit. Map functions involve a series of individual skills and tasks. The passage of lines as a stationary unit is an amalgam of individual skills and tasks, and collective tasks, and as such is a collective task. This particular collective task focuses at platoon level and below. Included in the plans are a series of increasingly difficult exercises as well as assessment procedures.
