Observations About Defining Collective Training Requirements: A White Paper Prepared in Support of the ARMS Program

摘要

In the past, collective training requirements have been defined in terms of the mission, mission segments, or broad functions that an Army aviation unit must learn to perform as a group. It is impossible to inter from these broad task descriptions the specific knowledge and skills that can be acquired only through collective training. Without a clear understanding of these requisite knowledge and skills, it is impossible to make prudent decisions about the level of realism that is required for each component of a collective training simulator. This white paper describes the nature of the problem and describes the authors' views about the unique knowledge and skills that can be acquired and sustained only through collective training exercises. All comments are aimed at the training requirements for the Aviation Reconfigurable Manned Simulator (ARMS) and developed by the U.S. Army National Guard Bureau (USANGB).
