Book excerpt: "This report assesses the impact of the Simulation in Training for Advanced Readiness (SIMITAR) compressed gunnery training strategy for Army National Guard (ARNG) armored and mechanized infantry units. This strategy emphasizes the use of state of the art training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS) in response to challenges posed by time and range constraints experienced by ARNG combat units. Assessment entailed development of a longitudinal database of gunnery related information generated before (1993-1994) and during (1995-1997) SIMITAR strategy implementation. This information was collected from armored and mechanized infantry units from a SIMITAR test brigade and from six enhanced no SIMITAR comparison brigades. Overall, the SIMITAR training strategy was successful. Results showed that final, crew level, tank gunnery qualification on Table 8 did not differ either between the SIMITAR and comparison units, or within the SIMITAR test unit, across data collection years. Bradley Fighting Vehicle Table 8 qualification rate, however, did favor the comparison units. Perhaps more importantly, the SIMITAR strategy permitted most (94%) fully staffed SIMITAR platoons to complete gunnery Table 8 (with a 45% overall qualification rate) and enabled company and higher level maneuver training objectives to be accomplished, all within a normal 39 day yearly training calendar. Suggestions for research needed to extend SIMITAR training strategy benefits are provided."--DITC.

Book excerpt: This report provides a catalog of selected research and development (R&D) products produced between 1985-1998 by the U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Reserve Component (RC) (i.e., Army National Guard and Reserve). The catalog contains seven chapters. The first describes ARI and its mission, and then the RC, its organization and strength, and how its operational environment differs from that of the Active Component (AC). The next two describe products that use training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS) to overcome individual/crew (Chapter 2) and unit/battle staff (Chapter 3) training time constraints. Chapter 4 talks about products designed to bring geographically dispersed soldiers closer together via distance learning. Chapter 5 describes the results of our efforts to understand and predict RC soldier attrition. Chapter 6 tells what we know about RC soldiers' reactions to being called up for deployment, and the feasibility of using a composite AC/RC unit for peacekeeping missions. The final chapter concludes with what we think is the payoff from the products described. The catalog's product summaries include why, how, and with/for whom work was done, what was found/developed, what the conclusions/implications are, and where more information can be found. In doing so, we hope to reveal not only what ARI has done up until now, hut also the scope of what it is capable of doing in the future, to support RC R&D product needs of the 21st Century.

Book excerpt: "This user's manual describes a longitudinal database designed to permit the storage, retrieval, and analyses of gunnery-related data generated with Army National Guard (ARNG) armored and mechanized infantry units. The database was developed as part of an assessment of the Simulation in Training for Advanced Readiness (SIMITAR) time-compressed gunnery training strategy, as implemented in a test ARNG armored brigade (Smith, in publication). It contains gunnery performance measures from this test brigade and from six other enhanced "comparison" brigades where the SIMITAR training strategy was not introduced. These measures were collected from 1993-1997 and include first-run and final, live-fire, Table VIII gunnery qualification scores, tank main gun ammunition expenditures, related measures/information needed for assessing the impact of different training strategy interventions, and space set aside for recording the outcomes of training aids, devices, simulators and simulations (TADSS) usage. The databases is configured within a software program known as the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, Version 6.1 for Windows). Its files can be exported in a number of formats, including spreadsheet and database management programs, as well as into a number of other statistical utilities. This user's manual will help ARNG database managers use the SIMITAR database as a convenient repository for gunnery performance and related information and as a resource for future gunner-related strategy inpact investigations."--P.i.
