Research Paper Title

An Overview of Military Training.

Abstract

Military training means definite but very different things to different people:

• To the commander of a military unit, it means exercising troops in the field or sailors at sea so that they operate as an integrated, coordinated unit.
• To military personnel managers, it means preparing and certifying individuals across a full spectrum of occupational specialties that include cooks, dog handlers, tank turret repairers, radar technicians, and fighter pilots.
• To developers and providers of major military systems, it means exercises performed in simulators or on the systems themselves.
• To all concerned, it means preparing individuals from a civilian society to perform as professional military personnel.

Military training is distinguished from other forms of training by its emphases on:

• Discipline;
• Just-in-case preparation; and
• The training of collectives.

This document is intended to provide a general system-wide overview that will provide a useful perspective on military training for all those involved in developing and assessing prototypes for the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) initiative.
