"This report provides an historical account and analysis of the U.S. Army Research Institute's (ARI) research and development (R & D) efforts on structured simulation-based training (SST). These R & D efforts have led to the development of 30 research reports, 14 conference papers, and over 200 training support packages (TSPs). The developed TSPs focused on optimizing the simulation-based training opportunities for armor and mechanized infantry platoons and companies, and their battalion and brigade staffs. The TSPs have also been developed for representatives of a battalion's or a brigade's combat support and combat service support elements. This report's findings indicate that the developed TSPs would, if utilized properly, help the U.S. Army more fully exploit its advanced simulation-training systems. In addition, 43 lessons learned have been derived from these SST projects. The present report provides a central information source on ARI's SST efforts, and has important implications for future SST research and development efforts."--Stinet.

"The Army's growing reliance on digital technologies reinforces and extends concerns about training and evaluation, particularly in the area of command and control. Digital technology represents a new and powerful weapon for attacking evaluation requirements, but is a double-edged sword that poses challenge and opportunity. This report examines bow digital technologies can help solve many evaluation challenges, including the ones they create. The Background chapter reviews basic issues confronting conventional command and control performance and evaluation. Two key issues considered are manually burdened methods and measures, and the limitations imposed by analog media. The Findings chapter examines bow digital technologies might improve evaluations of command and control performance. This examination begins by identifying many of the new challenges introduced by digital command and control systems. Next, opportunities for overcoming evaluation challenges through the application of digital technologies are considered, including automated measures of versus about performance, more precise and comprehensive measures, and less burdened measurement methods. Finally, examples of digital measurement methods illustrate the potential for improving command and control evaluation through digital data integration, data mining, and data visualization. The report's conclusions identify some key research and development efforts required for applying digital technology to improve command and control performance and evaluation."--DTIC.
