Training Model for Contingency Operations

摘要

This report documents the process and the products of a study examining training and training support for units involved in deployments for contingency operations. The purpose of this study was to assist U.S. Army leaders and training resource managers to better train units, staffs, leaders and soldiers based on the realities and challenges of the 21st century operational environment. It was completed in support of a specific request made by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) for assistance in providing training support to Army ground forces preparing for, participating in, or returning from contingency operations. The study began by surveying the existing body of knowledge concerning U.S. military contingency operations and military deployments conducted in the 1990s. The survey's purpose was to identify and codify full spectrum training and training resource requirements for units participating in contingency operations. The survey's findings were then used to develop an improved training model and associated templates, and to recommend changes in current training policies and procedures. The eight principal recommendations address training strategies, training documentation, resourcing, decision- making, and training management.
