Embedded Training in a Ground Soldier System

Abstract

The historical debate, issues, and challenges surrounding embedded training, including a virtual simulation component, in a ground Soldier system are discussed. First, the history and interpretations of the embedded training concept are outlined. Second, the evolution of ground Soldier systems, the tasks performed with these systems, and the requirement for embedded training cited in system requirement documents are presented. The two systems described are the Land Warrior and Future Force Warrior. The challenges faced in incorporating embedded training in such systems and the potential role of embedded training are then addressed. In particular, the paper examines which tasks merit incorporating an embedded training component within these systems, as well as lessons learned regarding virtual simulations with these systems.
