Analysis of the Civil Engineering Training Requirements for Effective Air Base Battle Damage Assessment and Repair

摘要

Repairing air base battle damage is the wartime mission of Air Force Civil Engineers. One role of this mission includes the assessment and expedient repair of damaged facilities and utilities. To prepare for this role, the Air Force directs civil engineering units to conduct damage assessment and repair training. This training, however, has proven ineffective owing to the absence of realistic training plans and proficiency standards. Seeking to improve this training, the AFESC is developing a statement of work (SOW) that will manage the design, development, testing, and implementation of an advanced trainer that utilizes the technology offered by Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI). The purpose of this thesis was to assist the AFESC with this effort. (jes)
