Description
Summary:The escalating costs and proliferation of training devices and simulators have caused training and scheduling problems for commanders and have resulted in some devices not being utilized to the degree expected. In other cases devices have not been developed properly and are not good trainers. Some actions must be taken by the Army to correct these real and/or perceived shortfalls. Strategies must be articulated for the development and management of devices and devices must fit into the training strategies for weapons systems. US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) must direct the enhanced management system and in coordination with US Army Material Command (AMC) enforce the developmental expectations and requirements. Devices are here to stay and the Army must take advantage to them in order to realize the potential for cost savings and training enhancements. (Author)
