Research Plan for the Evaluation of the Requirements for the Effective Integration of the National Training Center and Home Station Training

摘要

The research not presents a Test Concept for investigating the effective integration of unit home station and National Training Center (NTC) training. At present, there is no Army-wide method to prepare for, and benefit from, NTC training. Since the training experience is an important part of a unit's overall training program, the Army must derive the greatest increase in readiness from this training that is possible. The Test Concept examined here consists of comprehensive data collection on a unit's training program before and after it has been to the NTC. This permits a determination of activities related to NTC performance, as well as permitting methods to be specified for incorporating these activities into Home Station training. The final goal is a set of guidelines for effectively integrating Unit Home Station training and NTC training.
