Assessment of Two Desk-Top Computer Simulations Used to Train Tactical Decision Making (TDM) of Small Unit Infantry Leaders

摘要: Abstract : Fifty-two leaders in the Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) at Fort Benning, Georgia, participated an assessment of two desk-top computer simulations used to train tactical decision making. Thirteen trained with Soldier Visualization Station (SVS) simulation, while 39 others Simulation Field Exercise, or SimFX. Pre-simulation exercise measures included military and simulation experience, decision-making style, situation judgment. A questionnaire administered following exercises documented their sense personal involvement during mission execution perceptions training value simulations. Leaders both groups were assessed individually for ability recognize implement sound decisions serving as a squad leader light Infantry patrol defense missions urban environment. Results suggest that, general, use have potential make that require greater expenditures resources. However, methods impacted leaders' making, simulations, ideas about what they learned from experience.
