Defense forces have always invested a great deal of their resources
in training. In recent times, changes in the complexity and
intensity of operations have reaffirmed the importance of ensuring
that warfighters are adequately prepared for the environments in
which they are required to work. The emergence of new operational
drivers such as asymmetric threats, urban operations, joint and
coalition operations and the widespread use of military
communications and information technology networks has highlighted
the importance of providing warfighters with the competencies
required to act in a coordinated, adaptable fashion, and to make
effective decisions in environments characterized by large amounts
of sometimes ambiguous information. While investment in new
technologies can make available new opportunities for action, it is
only through effective training that personnel can be made ready to
apply their tools in the most decisive and discriminating fashion.
There are many factors which can have an impact on the efficacy of
training and many issues to consider when designing and
implementing training strategies. These issues are often complex
and nuanced, and in order to grasp them fully a significant
investment of time and energy is required. However, the requirement
to respond quickly to ever-changing technology, a high operational
tempo and minimal staffing may preclude many in today's defense
forces from seeking out all such resources on their own. This
edited collection provides brief, easy-to-understand summaries of
the key issues in defense training and simulation, as well as
guidance for further reading. It consists of a collection of short
essays, each of which addresses a fundamental issue in defense
training and simulation, and features an up-to-date reference list
to enable the reader to undertake further investigation of the
issues addressed. In essence, this book provides the optimum
starting point, or first resource, for readers to come to terms
with the important issues associated with defense training and
simulation. The contributions are written by leading scholars from
military research institutions in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and
New Zealand, as well as selected researchers from academic and
private sector research institutions.
