摘要

In this paper, the authors present an overview of the activities related toinstrumented force-on-force battle training in the Swedish Army today and share some of the lessons learned on the way. In particular, the authors describe the different phases of a typical battle training exercise, including the preparation performed by the training and the training center staff before the exercise, the arrangement made on the training site before the exercise, the execution of the exercise, the training command and supervision during the exercise, the compilation and examination of data collected during the exercise, and the after-action review. The authors also show how the information collected during a single exercise, or a series of exercises, can be used in technical or tactical analyses to identify potential problems with a particular piece of equipment or a specific operating procedure.
