This report documents the development of a scenario tool set with variable factors that can be used to assess or train leader skills as the Army transitions to the Future Force. The components of the tool set can be tailored to produce 45 basic scenarios. Each scenario can be altered by injecting events to create more exercise conditions. All source documents needed for leader planning are available, to include supplemental map boards; each can be modified to conform to the desired exercise requirements. A User's Manual containing a step-by-step guide and a specific example of how to use the scenario tool set is available to assist evaluators and trainers. Use of these scenarios requires advanced planning to select the modules, components, and incidents to create the desired situation. The scenarios and resulting exercise vignettes, administered in a constructive or virtual simulation, will provide a realistic representation of expected battlefield events to allow leader skills to be assessed or trained. The scenario tool set can be used to train leader skills or research the impact on leaders of changes in organizations or technological capabilities. It can also be used for generating standardized scenarios for analysis purposes.

This collection of papers is the result of a workshop sponsored by NATO's Defense Research Group Panel 8 during the Fall of 1993. The workshop was held at the University of German Armed Forces at Neubiberg (Munich) Germany 29 September-l October, 1993. Robert J. Seidel Paul R.

"This report describes the design, organization, and capabilities of a new U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) Warfighting Experimentation Lab at Fort Benning, Georgia. It was developed to provide the ARI staff with a reach forward ability in training research. As the DoD Training Transformation (T2) gets underway, the Army is now working on its transformation as an ongoing perpetual function. Because of the flux inherent in perpetual transformation, many of its proposed future developments are and will continue to be abstract with varying kinds and amounts of related empirical data. Thus there was a need for the Warfighting Experimentation Lab to provide a flexible simulation environment in which researchers can examine proposed and evolving tactical technologies and innovations. A major design consideration for the ARI facility was to mirror the equipment in the Infantry School's own Simulation Center, using parallel surrogate equipment. "--Stinet.
