This report describes the continued design and prototype development of the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a system of armored vehicle manned-module simulators and workstations that allows units to train collective armor and infantry tasks at the platoon through battalion task force level. This project was a follow-on to the initial Cull project completed in January, 1999 which produced the design and a prototype software application and Web Site to provide unit commanders and other unit trainers with comprehensive information on CCTT and on structured training along with the ability to produce exercise Training Support Packages. The current project expanded the Cull design and prototype to include additional terrain databases, information and exercises for Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) units, and the integration of CITT with CCTT Exercise Initialization Tool (CEIT). Near-, mid-, and long-term implementation strategies and fielding plans were developed and are presented along with lessons learned and recommendations for future actions.

"This report describes the third in a series of projects to design and develop the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a system of armored vehicle manned-module simulators and workstations that allows units to train collective armor and infantry tasks at the platoon through battalion task force level. The CITT provides unit commanders and other trainers with comprehensive information on CCTT and on structured training as well as the ability to produce exercise Training Support Packages. Previous projects produced the design for the objective CITT and prototype applications in desktop and web-based formats. The current project produced a fully-fieldable CITT including the embedded CCTT Exercise Initialization Tool. This version was expanded to include stability and support operations capabilities, use of CCTT enhancements, and increased flexibility of file use to allow it to run on any computer with sufficient resources. Near-, mid-, and long-term implementation strategies and fielding plans were developed and are presented along with lessons learned and recommendations for future actions."--DTIC.

"This report documents the design, development, and implementation of refinements to a prototype staff training package for future forces. These training refinements were made to a prototype staff training package described in the report Prototype Staff Training and Evaluation Methods for Future Forces, Throne et al., 1999. The training refinements were implemented in a simulation-based experiment examining the impact of digital systems on Future Battle Command at the battalion and brigade level. This report focuses on the training support package designed to improve performance of staffs using advanced command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems. Documentation is provided on the analysis, design and development of four staff training products developed under this effort: a Surrogate Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (SC4) System Demonstration, Digital Staff Drills, Team Training Sessions (TTSs) and TTSs Trainer Guide, and refinements to Tactical Decision-Making Exercises (TDXs). The formative evaluation is described for those products with survey results and project team Observations reported by product type. Lessons learned on future staff training are documented and may help direct the Army's effort to develop command and staff training support packages (TSPs) for future forces."--Stinet.

This research note details the recommended design of the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) application. The CITT is designed to provide commanders and training developers with ready access to information concerning the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), existing CCTT training support packages (TSPs), and guidance and tools for modifying and developing CCTT TSPs. This research note includes numerous Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing Definition or IDEF/phi diagrams and their derivatives. These documents can be used by software programmers in the development of the objective CITT. The documentation is fully supportive of the Army Training Information Management Program (ATIMP) Systems requirements as delineated by the Department of Defense Enterprise Model and was completed in accordance with industry accepted modeling procedures and standards. The purpose of this model is to identify and organize information that supports the development of a comprehensive application that provides for the creation, archiving, and retrieval of TSPs. It provides all required documentation for the development of an application that details the framework and all necessary tools for the creation and modification of TSPs for use in CCTT. This includes data on the structured training process and the exercise development process, all of which are key features of the CITT.

"This report describes the conduct and results of a project to examine assessment and management of user-produced training support packages (TSPs) for collective training exercises in live, virtual, constructive, and combined training environments for combat arms organizations at brigade and below at present and for the next five years. User-produced refers to TSPs that are developed by unit commanders and other unit trainers as well as institutional trainers who will be directly involved with executing the exercises they produce. The major research activities consisted of: data collection, data analysis, and development of products to fulfill the project objectives. A major focus of data collection was coordinating with the ongoing development of the Army Training Information Architecture which will establish a framework within which the products of the current project will fit. The project produced the following: a process for identifying core set exercises for combat arms units; the list of components and elements of a TSP for collective training exercises identified to a level sufficient to develop database specifications for them; recommendations for TSP assessment, approval, and distribution; and an identification of six types of users of TSPs along with their roles in exercise execution."--Stinet.
