This is a ARMY RESEARCH INST FOR THE BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES ALEXANDRIA VA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A671604. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: As part of future force development, the U.S. Army has begun a transformation to an Objective Force capable of achieving full-spectrum dominance in all future conflicts. This transformation will require changes in training, particularly the training of teams. Objective Force teams will likely consist of small groups of individuals (and probably robots or intelligent agents) and will have new and modified performance requirements leading to unique training needs. Teams will conduct training continuously using portable devices and training support capabilities embedded in their vehicles. Meeting these sorts of team training requirements is likely to require new training tools and techniques. This project collected and analyzed information related to Objective Force Unit of Action command groups, and, based on the analyses, developed training requirements for and identified an approach to training teams that fully supports training anytime, anywhere using operational equipment. A discussion of future research and development issues is also provided. The results of this project can benefit those involved in further definition and development of the training requirements, particularly team training requirements, for the transformation to the Objective Force.
