Transfer of SIMNET Training in the Armor Officer Basic Course

Tactical training using networked tank simulators in the Armor Officer Basic Course allowed a quasi-experimental assessment of transfer to student officer performance in field training. Baseline classes without simulator training were compared in an interrupted time-series design to classes with sim...

description	Tactical training using networked tank simulators in the Armor Officer Basic Course allowed a quasi-experimental assessment of transfer to student officer performance in field training. Baseline classes without simulator training were compared in an interrupted time-series design to classes with simulator training. Regression analyses were performed on measures obtained from course records. Transfer of training was found using indicators of (a) the amount and type of field training conducted, (b) officer performance in leadership positions within student platoons, and (c) overall tactical leadership qualities shown by students as rated just prior to course graduation. Benefits of simulator training increased progressively in successive classes as the instructors learned to train using the simulators. The learning to train factor may often cause underestimation of the value of training devices. The report discusses implications for testing and evaluating military training innovations.
