"The Army has adopted the After Action Review (AAR) process as the means of providing feedback after collective training exercises and the quality of AARs depends upon how well trainers can prepare and use data displays to show what happened during exercises and guide interactive discussions on how to improve unit performance. A previous report described a demonstration of the capability of the Automated Training Analysis and Feedback System (ATAFS) to automatically generate AAR aids after exercises in the networked simulator environment. This report describes the results of a follow-on effort to complete the development of the complete set of planned AAR capabilities and test the prototype ATAFS in a mix of Army National Guard training environments."--DTIC.

"This research and development effort continues the work by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (AM), Armored Forces Research Unit, Future Battlefield Conditions Team. It focuses on the design and development of automated training and performance evaluation techniques. A primary context for these efforts is digital brigade and below training requirements and environments. For this project, AM's objective was to design, develop, and demonstrate 20 prototype automated measures to improve training and evaluation for brigade and below command and staff performance. The prototype automated measures developed were implemented during the Future Combat Command and Control (FCC2) Concept Experimentation Program experiment conducted by the Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab (MMBL) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The AM's purpose for participating in this experiment was to support the MMBL and the Army's need to gain additional information on future staff evaluation requirements in a virtual simulation environment, and gather feedback for improvements to the prototype automated measures developed during this effort."--DTIC.

"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 critical link between psychology and the military is imprtant to recruiting, training, socializing, assigning, employing, deploying, motivating, rewarding, maintaining, managing, integrating, retaining, transitioning, supporting, counseling, and healing military members. These areas are hardly distinct, and the chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Military Psychology have contents that cross these boundaries. Collectively, the topics covered in this volume describe the myriad ways in which modern psychology influences warfare and vice versa. The extensive topics included come from within the areas of clinical, industrial/organizational, experimental, engineering, and social psychology. The contributors are top international experts in military psychology -- some uniformed soldiers, others academics and clinicians, and others civilian employees of the military or other government agencies. They address important areas in which the science and practice of psychology supports military personnel in their varied and complex missions. Among the topics addressed here are suitability for service, leadership, decision making, training, terrorism, socio-cultural competencies, diversity and cohesion, morale, quality-of-life, ethical challenges, and mental health and fitness. The focus is the ways in which psychology promotes the decisive human dimension of military effectiveness. Collectively, the 25 topical chapters of this handbook provide an overview of modern military psychology and its tremendous influence on the military and society as a whole.
