Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A field experiment was carried out to determine the relative effectiveness of REALTRAIN (which is an engagement simulation training system) and conventional training. Rifle squads were given a tactical pretraining test, 3 days of training using either REALTRAIN or conventional methods, a post-training test, and finally a series of tactical exercises in which REALTRAIN and conventional squads opposed one another. Data collected on the behavior of squads during engagements were shown to be related to end-product measures of tactical performance. Resulting tactical performance data, as well as mission accomplishment and casualty exchange data, indicate REALTRAIN is more effective than conventional field training in the training of rifle squads.
