14. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words): This report describes the conduct and results of a project to examine assessment and 

management of user-produced training support packages (TSPs) for collective training exercises in live, virtual, constructive, 

and combined training environments for combat arms organizations at brigade and below at present and for the next five years. 

“User-produced” refers to TSPs that are developed by unit commanders and other unit trainers as well as institutional trainers 

who will be directly involved with executing the exercises they produce. The major research activities consisted of: data 

collection, data analysis, and development of products to fulfill the project objectives. A major focus of data collection was

coordinating with the ongoing development of the Army Training Information Architecture which will establish a framework 

within which the products of the current project will fit. The project produced the following: a process for identifying core set 

exercises for combat arms units; the list of components and elements of a TSP for collective training exercises identified to a

level sufficient to develop database specifications for them; recommendations for TSP assessment, approval, and distribution; 

and an identification of six types of users of TSPs along with their roles in exercise execution.

FOREWORD 

 

 While unit commanders and other unit trainers have always played a significant role in 

training, they are likely to become increasingly involved in the development of that training as 

resources are reallocated across the Army. This is particularly true in the area of collective 

training exercise development. To facilitate development activities, tools are being developed 

that lead unit trainers to develop structured training exercises and the associated training support 

packages (TSPs). The U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences 

(ARI) has been a leader in the development of such tools through work accomplished in the 

Armored Forces Research Unit at Fort Knox, Kentucky. For the past several years, the 

Commanders’ Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) 

has been undergoing development and refinement to provide commanders with a tool to tailor 

structured training in the CCTT to maximize its benefit in their unit training strategy. While 

these efforts have been largely successful, it remains to be seen how well they will work for 

other training environments and types of exercises. 

 

 This report describes a project to examine management and assessment of user-produced 

TSPs that will provide the basis for the possible expansion of CITT-like tools to other collective 

training environments. It provides a list of TSP components around which exercise development 

tools would be developed. It specifies a methodology for identifying exercises that would 

comprise a core set that would serve as exemplars and which users could modify to serve their 

specific needs. It examines TSP assessment and distribution issues as well as maintenance 

requirements. It also examines how the process of user-produced TSP development, assessment, 

and management fits within the Army Training Information Architecture. 

 

 The work described in this report was completed under ARI Work Package 205, 

“Assessment of Force XXI Training Tools and Techniques.” It builds upon ARI’s development 

of the CITT software application as well as a previous study of distributed training development. 

Relevant requirements documents include: (1) a Memorandum for Record (MFR) between the 

Chief, ARI Armored Forces Research Unit (AFRU) and the Project Manager for the Combined 

Arms Tactical Trainer entitled “Structured Training for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer,” 

25 July 1997; and (2) a MFR between the Chief AFRU and the Director of Training 

Development and Analysis in the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command’s Office of the 

Deputy Chief of Staff for Training (TRADOC ODCST) entitled “Integration of Training 

Development Among Schools and Distributed Training Environments,” 30 November 1998. 

 

 This report will be of interest to designers and managers of current and future Army 

training. A final briefing (in the form of a compact disk) of the findings and recommendations 

was provided to senior TRADOC ODCST personnel in April 2001. Personnel in the Army 

Training Support Center are using portions of the report to specify future TSP elements.

ASSESSING AND MANAGING USER-PRODUCED TRAINING SUPPORT PACKAGES 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

Research Requirement: 

 Army training development resources are becoming increasingly limited and constrained, a 

situation which is likely to continue. Additionally, current Army Deputy Chief of Staff for 

Personnel (DCSPER) planning calls for more resources to be allocated to table of organization 

and equipment (TOE) units and away from other organizations, making it unlikely that 

centralized agencies (e.g., U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command proponent schools) can 

anticipate or produce all the training needed for any contingency. This will certainly place more 

of the burden of developing and modifying training on the users themselves, particularly 

development of collective training exercises. At the same time, however, the complexity of 

training has increased as a result of technological changes including much more sophisticated 

training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations (TADSS); the need to prepare for varying 

contingencies involving a wider variety of missions; and the possibility of conducting largerscale training exercises combining live, virtual, and constructive training environments. Thus, 

while more collective training will be developed by units, they will need better and more 

sophisticated tools and methods to do so. 

 Central to the concept that users will develop collective training exercises is the need for 

determining requirements for training support packages (TSPs) to support those exercises. What 

are the components of the TSPs? Will the same set of components serve exercises for live, 

virtual, constructive, or combined training environments? What exercises would comprise a core 

set of TSPs for a given unit type? How will TSPs be assessed and managed? What tools will be 

needed to support user development of TSPs? How will user development of collective 

exercises and associated TSPs fit into the Army Training Information Architecture (ATIA) as it 

is currently being developed? 

Procedure: 

 Answering these questions involved querying numerous sources from within the Army 

training community. Data were collected by interviewing various stakeholders and reviewing 

existing documentation. Based on the data collected, the project team developed products, 

processes, and recommendations to address the following project tasks: 

• Determine a process that specifies requirements for a core set of TSPs in various training 

environments for various types of missions and exercises. This task focuses on training 

for combat operations for combat arms organizations at brigade and below at present and 

for the next five years. 

• Identify the components of TSPs required for collective training exercises in live, virtual, 

constructive, and combined training environments. 

• Design methods for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs over the next five years. 
viii 

• Identify prototype tools for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs. 

Findings: 

 The project developed a process for identifying core set exercises. This process involves 

identifying the unit for which the core set is being specified; determining viable training 

methods, in terms of exercise types and training environments, for the unit; specifying the 

content of the core set in terms of the collective tasks upon which it focuses; and identifying the 

specific exercises that comprise the core set. 

 The components and elements of a TSP for collective training exercises were identified to a 

level sufficient to develop database specifications for them, although we did not develop such 

specifications. As part of this activity, the project team also came to the conclusion that the same 

TSP components and elements can serve all collective training exercises for live, virtual, and 

constructive environments. 

 A process for assessing user-produced TSPs was identified involving five levels of 

assessment that may be used depending upon how the TSP is distributed. Management issues 

including how users will access TSPs, how TSPs might be distributed, and the approval and 

maintenance processes for distributed TSPs were considered and recommendations regarding 

them were provided. Finally, six types of users for TSPs were identified including developers, 

exercise support personnel, observer/controllers, site personnel, unit administrative support 

personnel, and the unit itself. Requirements that each of these user types will have for the 

information contained in the TSP are discussed along with the type of user tool or application 

that would serve each user’s needs. 

Utilization of Findings: 

 This project has examined issues related to user-produced TSPs in depth. Its results can 

benefit units who are developing their own collective training exercises, as well as proponents 

who develop and maintain core set exercises. In addition, future efforts to develop the ATIA and 

corresponding training information systems can build upon the work completed here to make full 

use of the unit-based training resources that exist throughout the Army.

ASSESSING AND MANAGING USER-PRODUCED TRAINING SUPPORT PACKAGES 

Introduction 

Army training development resources are becoming increasingly limited and constrained, a 

situation which is likely to continue into the near future. As the Deputy Chief of Staff for 

Personnel (DCSPER)1 Lieutenant General Maude (2000) recently wrote: 

 The Army Chief of Staff has tasked the DCSPER to staff the Army fully by 2003, 

with the requirement to staff the 10 divisions and two armored cavalry regiments 

fully by the end of fiscal year 2000. This is a significant challenge and will result in 

the short-term understaffing of table of distribution and allowances (TDA) units until 

the force structure has been realigned to reflect inventory realities. (p. 145) 

This is further reinforced by the Army Training XXI Campaign Plan (U.S. Army Training 

and Doctrine Command [TRADOC], 1997) which states: “The foreseeable future will remain an 

era of constrained resources. The effect of resource constraints will be felt in the availability of 

dollars, training force structure, and training time.” 

Since current Army DCSPER planning calls for more resources to be allocated to table of 

organization and equipment (TOE) units and away from other organizations, it is unlikely that 

centralized agencies (e.g., TRADOC proponent schools) can anticipate or produce all the 

training needed for any contingency. This will certainly place more of the burden of developing 

training on the users themselves, particularly development of collective training exercises. At 

the same time, however, the complexity of training has increased as a result of technological 

changes including much more sophisticated training aids, devices, simulators, and simulations 

(TADSS), the need to prepare for varying contingencies involving a wider variety of missions, 

and the possibility of conducting larger-scale training exercises combining live, virtual, and 

constructive training environments. Thus, while more training will be developed by units, they 

will need better and more sophisticated tools and methods to do so. 

Two U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) long-term 

initiatives directly address these issues in the collective training arena: structured training and 

user-produced training. At the same time, a TRADOC initiative, development of the Army 

Training Information Architecture (ATIA), is determining the overall environment in which 

user-produced training will be developed and implemented for the foreseeable future. 

Implementation of findings from the ARI initiatives must address and be compatible with 

training systems that will be developed within the context of the ATIA.

Structured Training 

Structured training fully supports the Army’s training doctrine as stated in Field Manual 

(FM) 25-100 (Department of the Army [DA], 1988) and is consistent with the Army’s Systems 

Approach to Training (SAT) process as explicated in TRADOC Regulation (TR) 350-70 

(DA, 1999). Building on early work in structured training completed by Brown (1991) in 

conjunction with training of the Reserve Component, ARI has been a leader in developing 

structured training principles and methodology. Campbell, Quinkert, and Burnside (2000) 

provide a comprehensive review of work conducted in structured training over the last decade. 

In this report, they describe structured training programs or exercises as having “five 

characteristics: an explicit task focus, a realistic scenario, focused task performance feedback, a 

training support package (TSP) to assist preparation and ensure standardization, and a linkage to 

a larger training strategy or family of programs” (p. 4). These characteristics have evolved and 

been refined through the course of a number of projects involving the development of live, 

virtual, constructive, and combined collective training exercises. 

To facilitate the application of structured training, ARI produced a procedural model for its 

development as shown in Figure 1 (Campbell et al., 2000). This model is based on the SAT 

process specifically adapted to structured collective training exercises. In Phase 1, initial 

decisions are made regarding assumptions, constraints, and training expectations, and the 

training audience and type of simulation are specified. Phases 2 and 3 occur in parallel and 

involve specifying the objectives of the training and the design of the tactical scenario for the 

exercise. Phase 4 involves the preparation of the materials required to support the exercise – the 

TSP. Throughout all activities, there is an ongoing process of formative evaluation, the purpose 

of which is to monitor and improve the structured training products.

While all activities in the process are important, the TSP is key to making the structured 

training process work and, for collective training, is defined in TR 350-70 as: “A complete, 

stand-alone, exportable training package integrating training products and materials needed to 
3 

train one or more collective tasks and supporting critical individual tasks (including leader and 

battle staff). It is a task-based information package that provides a structured situational training 

scenario for live, virtual, or constructive unit or institutional training” (DA, 1999, p. V-7-4). The 

specific components of a collective TSP (referred to as a Warfighter TSP in TR 350-70) have 

continued to evolve, and it remains questionable whether a single set of TSP components will 

work for all collective training exercises, or different TSPs will be required depending on the 

exercise supported (Shlechter & Finley, 2000). 

The efficient use of training resources in any single or combined environment requires that 

training be structured to meet specific objectives or needs. One way that this has been done, 

primarily for virtual and constructive environments, has been to design training deliberately to 

include events or cues that prompt the performance of particular tasks or portions of tasks. It is 

in implementing this degree of structure in training exercises that the use of TSPs assumes 

particular importance. It is also this degree of structure that allows and supports the possibility 

that users can themselves develop training exercises along with the TSP materials necessary to 

support them, which, in turn, requires that any tools or applications developed to assist the user 

be based upon and thoroughly grounded in structured training methodology. 

User-Produced Training 

The second initiative that impacts the anticipated shortage of proponent-produced training 

exercises is the move to user-produced TSPs, where users are defined as unit commanders and 

other unit trainers as well as institutional trainers who will be directly involved with executing 

the exercises they produce. An ARI-sponsored series of projects conducted over the past three 

years has demonstrated the feasibility of user-produced collective exercises, at least for training 

in a virtual environment (Gossman et al., 1999; Gossman et al., 2000). These projects have been 

based on the concept that, to some extent, users of training in any environment will increasingly 

need to develop their own TSPs, or at least modify a core set of TSPs.2

 The major product of 

these ARI projects is the Commanders’ Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat 

Tactical Trainer (CCTT). The CCTT is a virtual training system that supports the training of 

collective tasks and supporting individual and leader tasks for armored and mechanized infantry 

units, including combat support and combat service support, at the platoon and company/team 

levels. It includes the capability to support battalion task force (and perhaps brigade) training as 

command field exercises or as portions of larger exercises. Research conducted during these 

projects determined that users often have little formal training and practical experience in 

training development; thus, they benefit from having guidelines and automated tools to help 

them produce high quality exercises. Among the key lessons learned from the CITT projects 

conducted to date are that users can, with the assistance of the CITT, develop quality structured 

training exercises and their associated TSPs. To do this efficiently and effectively the “user 

needs to have a good, working understanding of the concepts, principles, and practices of 

structured training development and delivery” (Gossman et al., 2000, p. 29). 

 

2

 This project recognizes that unit commanders and other unit trainers have historically developed their own training. 

The emphasis of user-produced TSPs is actually on providing appropriate tools and aids to support their efforts and 

to assist them in producing high-quality, effective and efficient training for all training environments. 
4 

The CITT, as a prototype exercise and TSP development tool, provides access to extensive 

user-oriented information on the CCTT and how to train units in the CCTT. This includes access 

to a library of existing TSPs and detailed guidelines and procedures for modifying these TSPs 

and for developing similar ones. The CITT also provides procedures for preparing electronic 

files required for initialization and control of exercises in the CCTT. The prototype CITT has 

been well received in two rounds of formative evaluation with users, and there are indications 

that a CITT-like tool will be highly beneficial in addressing the training issues identified above. 

Before CITT capabilities are expanded to other training environments, however, there are several 

underlying research and development issues related to assessment and management of userproduced TSPs that need to be addressed: 

• What are the training environments in which user-produced TSPs are required? 

• What components must be included in TSPs developed for different or combined 

environments? 

• If TSP development is distributed among users, how will it be standardized, controlled, or 

managed? 

• How will users collaborate to produce TSPs for large-scale exercises combining different 

sites or training environments? 

• How will TSPs be judged as complete and acceptable for inclusion in a user-accessible 

library? 

• How will access to such a library be controlled? 

• What tools and aids are currently available to support distributed TSP development, and 

what tools and aids are needed? 

This report addresses this set of issues through design of methods for assessing and 

managing user-produced TSPs at brigade and below levels, along with specification of initial 

prototype user tools. As such, it represents a further extension of the principles of structured 

training to an environment in which users are the primary developers of training. 

Army Training Information Architecture 

The third initiative that impacts user-produced training is the ATIA under development by 

TRADOC. Based on the Army Training XXI Campaign Plan (TRADOC, 1997), the ATIA is a 

specification for a system of systems that will be developed over the next several years and will 

provide the blueprint for future training systems in the Army. It is a standards-based, datadriven, object-oriented system based on the Army’s SAT process and applies to Army training as 

described in TR 350-70 (DA, 1999). As illustrated in the top-level node tree for the ATIA 

Operational Architecture depicted in Figure 2, the ATIA specifies activities for designing, 

developing, implementing, assessing, and managing collective training including the userproduced exercises and TSPs considered in this project. According to the Army Training XXI 

Campaign Plan, 
5 

The ATIA will employ state-of-the art information technologies in a fully integrated, 

networked, and internetted training support system to provide realistic, timely, userresponsive, and cost-effective training for units and individuals. The objective Army 

training system will provide integrated and distributed training information and 

training management support; comprehensive, configurable, content-rich training 

products and media; integrated synthetic training tools and devices; and reengineered 

training processes – all in an open system capable of continuous improvement through 

the infusion of emerging technologies and functional requirements. The ATIA will 

support the entire training domain – from tools to training development to training 

methods – while maintaining the quality of our battle-focused training paradigm.

Architecture (DA, 2000a). 

The ATIA is being developed by TRADOC under a set of principles and guidelines that 

provide the strategic guidance for a coherent technical framework for the future ATIA system. 

The ATIA and its principles and guidelines are of particular relevance to this project in that they 

provide constraints on it, particularly as related to user tools and management and assessment of 

TSPs, in that our findings and recommendations must address and fall within the ATIA. The 

following ATIA principles are of particular relevance: 
6 

• Data access should be logically centralized, but physically dispersed. 

• Software applications and data should be segregated. 

• Data content should be modifiable on the fly and all abstractions of data (e.g., meta-data) 

should be extensible and user-, not programmer-, oriented. 

In addition, the following guidelines offer further direction: 

• Systems and subsystems will be user-focused and user-friendly. 

• Systems and subsystems will be interoperable. 

• The ATIA training management systems will provide for one-time data entry to update 

all related systems’ databases. 

• All training information will be available and tailorable through training management 

systems. 

Thus, user-produced TSPs, viewed as data, need to satisfy these guidelines and 

requirements, as must any user tools (i.e., applications). 

The prospect of relying increasingly on structured, user-produced training raises questions 

about how the resulting TSPs should be developed and managed. Automation is part of the 

answer, but tools that assist with these functions must be designed within the constraints imposed 

by the ATIA. Together, these factors demand timely research into how the Army can integrate 

user-produced TSPs effectively into existing training approaches. The ARI has responded by 

initiating and guiding the present project. 

Project Objectives and Tasks 

Four major objectives from the project Statement of Work (SOW) (ARI, 1999) drove the 

project activities: 

• Design a method for specifying the collective training exercises that would comprise a 

“core set” for training combat arms organizations at brigade and below including the 

development of at least one example core set. The specification should consider unit type 

and echelon, training mission, training environment, and TADSS. 

• Determine the data components that comprise a TSP for collective exercises. 

• Design comprehensive methods for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs for 

collective training. 

• Identify selected tools/aids for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs for collective 

training. 
7 

These objectives were addressed through completion of several research tasks: 

• Task 1. Determine requirements for a core set of user-produced TSPs in various training 

environments at present and for the next five years including the identification of specific 

TADSS as well as identification of the types of missions and exercises for which userproduced TSPs are expected to be required. This task focuses on training for brigade and 

below combat operations. 

• Task 2. Identify the components required for TSPs in live, virtual, constructive, and 

combined training environments for collective training exercises. 

• Task 3. Design a method for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs over the next 

five years. 

• Task 4. Identify prototype tools/aids for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs. 

As the project proceeded these tasks were refined somewhat based on input from the 

contracting officer’s representative (COR), on the combined expertise and experience of the 

team, and on outcomes that we could realistically expect to produce. Task 1 changed to 

developing a process or methodology for identifying the TSPs (or exercises) that need to be 

included in a “core set” of exercises rather than specifying the actual core sets. Task 2 was 

further defined as identifying the TSP components to a level sufficient to develop database 

specifications for them. We made no attempt, however, to develop the actual specifications. 

Task 4 evolved into identifying the various users3

 of the TSP and the applications or tools that 

each will need in order to develop and execute collective training exercises effectively and 

efficiently. Prototype screen shots illustrating the functionality of one tool were also developed. 

Purpose and Organization of the Report 

The purpose of this report is to describe the research methods and outcomes of the project to 

examine methods for assessing and managing user-produced TSPs. As described above, this 

included examining TSP components, a method for specifying core sets of TSPs, issues related 

to TSP assessment and management, and development of prototype tools for the various TSP 

users identified. 

The report is organized as follows: 

• Data Collection. This section describes the data-collection methods we employed for 

collecting the data that underlie the project as a whole. (Methodological activities related 

to specific project tasks, e.g., development of the TSP core set identification process, are 

described within the context of presenting the task activities). 

 

3

 As employed in this context, “user” refers not only to the developer of the TSP, but to all personnel who will make 

use of the information contained in the TSP to execute, or support the execution of, the exercise. 
8 

• TSP core set identification. This section describes the methodology that was developed 

to identify the specific exercises that could be included in a core set of exercises for 

various combat organizations. We also provide specific examples of the core set of 

exercises that would be derived using the methodology developed. 

• TSP component and element identification. This section describes the process and 

product of the analysis to identify the data elements that would be included in a TSP for 

collective training exercises for various training environments. 

• User-produced TSP management and assessment. This section identifies issues and 

concerns related to management and assessment of user-produced TSPs over the next five 

years based upon our analysis of the ATIA. 

• User tools. This section identifies a set of tools for the various TSP users and provides 

suggestions for their development and use. 

• Summary and Conclusions. This section presents a summary of the project findings and 

a set of recommendations for addressing management and assessment of user-produced 

TSPs at present and for the next five years. 

Data Collection 

Initial project activities consisted of identifying and obtaining documentation relevant to 

structured training, TSPs, and Army training in general that would support all project tasks. We 

began with Field Manual (FM) 25-100 – Training the Force (DA, 1988), FM 25-101 – Training 

the Force: Battle Focused Training (DA, 1990), and TR 350-70 – Systems Approach to 

Training Management, Processes, and Products (DA, 1999). These three provide the Army 

policies and procedures within which user-produced TSP development, assessment, and 

management will occur. We subsequently identified and obtained additional documentation 

using a spiraling approach in which each additional document would point to several others that 

were obtained and considered. We examined ARI reports, especially those related to structured 

training and to the CITT project; documentation describing the ATIA; FMs and Mission 

Training Plans (MTPs); general references on simulation-based training; examples of contractorand user-produced exercise TSPs; and numerous military and non-military Internet sites. All 

together, more than 120 documents, both paper-based and electronic were examined; a complete 

list is included in Appendix B. 

Approximately 60 days into the project, relevant individuals and groups whom the project 

team wished to interview were identified. Our intent was to talk to a wide variety of personnel 

who play a role in exercise and TSP development, implementation, assessment, and policy 

making. Interviews were arranged through the project COR. We developed a set of interview 

guidelines and questions that served as the basis for each interview. These were modified as 

necessary for the individual/group being interviewed. The interview questions related to four 

broad areas of interest: What did the interviewees think of the basic premise of users developing 

TSPs themselves? What components should a user-produced TSP include? How should userproduced TSPs be assessed? How should user-produced TSPs be managed and distributed? The 

interviews were loosely structured around these areas; however, they were conducted more as 
9 

group discussions than question/answer sessions. Each interview was conducted by at least two 

project team members with most being conducted by three or more. The same team member 

served as lead interviewer for all interviews, although all members asked questions as 

appropriate at any time during the interview. All interview participants were told that any 

information they provided was not for attribution. Each team member took notes and recorded 

his/her observations. Following the interview, the team met to debrief and discuss the interview 

findings. 

We conducted a total of 28 interviews (22 in person; six by telephone) involving a total of 

41 participants. The organizations represented by the participants included TOE Army units, 

TRADOC Deputy Chief of Staff for Training (DCST), Army Training Support Center, the 

Combined Arms Center, Directorate of Training and Doctrine Development at Fort Knox, CCTT 

and Air Network (AirNET) simulation centers, the National Training Center, a training support 

brigade, a non-commissioned officer academy, an observer/controller (O/C) team, the Force XXI 

Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance team, and the contractor team developing the 

CITT. 

TSP Core Set Identification 

The SOW (ARI, 1999) directed the project team to explore TSP requirements for U.S. Army 

combat arms units at brigade and below through the year 2005. We interpreted this requirement 

as having two components – development of a process for identifying core sets of exercises for 

various organizations and identification of the data components that comprise a TSP4

 for 

collective training exercises. This section describes the core set identification process. 

Core sets of training exercises, even if not by name, have long been used to meet the basic 

training needs of U.S. armed forces (MTP Situational Training Exercises [STX] for example). 

The concept derives from the premise that standardizing doctrine, and thus training, clearly 

promotes success on the battlefield. In this project, concerns about training utility led to the 

conclusion that a core set should be both practical – addressing the real needs of existing units – 

and exemplary – providing examples from which units can model their own TSPs. In addition, 

the TSPs in the core set should provide broad mission and task coverage, serve a wide audience 

of units within the unit type, and adhere to the principles of structured training described 

previously. Thus, the core set is defined as a set of exercises that serves the basic training needs 

of a unit by providing a repository of training exercises from which units can select those that 

best serve their needs. It is important to note that the core set does not specify a training 

strategy. Rather, exercises in the core set need to support any training strategies that may be 

developed. 

 

4

 The terms “exercise” and “TSP” are used consistently throughout this report to refer to similar, although not 

identical, items. An exercise is the actual training event consisting of cues or stimuli, unit actions, and feedback. 

The TSP is the documentation that supports the conduct of the exercise. 
10 

A Process for Identifying Core Set Exercises 

The project team set out to develop a logical, systematic process for specifying collective 

structured training exercises that would comprise a core set. It is important to emphasize that the 

process is not a means of developing training, but rather a way to determine what training should 

be developed. The process systematically identifies the structured training exercises that might 

comprise a core set; it does not include their development. To accomplish this, the process 

identifies potential training methods and training content. It then matches the methods with 

content based on value-related criteria residing in such questions as: Is the training general 

enough to serve the needs of a majority of units within the unit type? Do the expected benefits 

of a given piece of training justify the expense of the TADSS employed? 

The process begins by considering a broad domain of potential training and narrows that 

domain into a smaller, more concentrated set of training alternatives using the five steps shown 

in Figure 3. Before describing these steps, several points need to be addressed. First, following 

the process will lead to “a” core set, not “the” core set. There is no single solution. Different 

individuals will identify different exercises for the core set based upon their expertise, 

experience, and viewpoints. Second, it is important to remember that the process results in the 

identification of the exercises that could comprise the core set. Producing an actual core set of 

TSPs requires the additional activities of designing exercises and producing the TSPs. These 

activities require in-depth analyses of training needs, training options, and development 

capabilities. 

Step 1. Specify Unit Type. In step 1 the unit type for which a core set will be developed is 

specified. Unit types are defined by branch and echelon, and each specific unit type will have its 

own core set of training exercises. In the actual core set identification, analysts would begin with 

the unit type as a given – they would know, for example, that they were developing a core set 

specification for a tank battalion or a rifle platoon. The fact that there is no analysis required is 

illustrated by the broken line around Step 1 in Figure 3. 

Step 2. Select Viable Training Methods. In step 2 the viable training methods for a given 

unit type are selected. A training method is defined as a specific exercise type being conducted 

in a specific training environment. An STX-Live and Map Exercise (MAPEX)-Constructive are 

examples of training methods. To identify viable training methods, one needs to begin with the 

domain of all conceptually possible training methods. This domain consists of all training 

methods that could occur even though some are illogical, impractical, or even physically 

impossible to implement.5

 Considering all the training methods, however, reduces the 

probability that someone attempting to specify core set exercises for a unit would inadvertently 

omit ones that should be included. 

 

5

 There are numerous examples of exercises that are not clearly logical, practical, or possible: An armor platoon 

STX conducted in constructive simulation is illogical and physically impossible. An infantry brigade MAPEX 

conducted in constructive simulation is impractical. An armor brigade field training exercise (FTX) conducted in 

the virtual simulation, CCTT, is physically impossible due to the number of simulators the exercise would require.

The domains of all possible training methods identified for Armor and Mechanized Infantry 

units, based on exercise types identified in FM 25-101 (DA, 1990), are illustrated in Figure 4. 

Similar domain identification could easily be completed for other unit types. (We recognize that 

technological advancements are increasing the flexibility and interoperability of the Army’s 

simulations, and that additional exercise types, especially ones combining the various 

environments will be developed in the future. This could affect the domain of possible training 

methods depending upon factors that exist at the time a core set is specified.) 

To complete Step 2, the analyst selects the appropriate row of the matrix, and for each of the 

potential training methods represented by the cells in the row, poses three questions: Does the 

exercise type fit the echelon? Does the environment support the exercise type? Is the exercise 

type efficient in that environment? Examples of rationales that further illustrate how these 

questions would be considered are presented in Table 1. Exercises that do not meet the criteria 

are dropped from future consideration as training methods appropriate for the core set. Those 

remaining are retained for further analysis.

Step 3. Identify Training Focus. Step 3 of the process begins to identify the actual content 

of the core set by identifying tasks and task sequences upon which the core set will focus, and by 

grouping them into realistic storylines. In later steps, this information will be combined with the 

results of Step 2 to identify the specific exercises that will comprise the core set. Step 3 begins 

by establishing the domain of potential training content; it then filters and organizes that content 

to generate a list of training topics. These topics maximize the utility of the core set of TSPs by 

directing attention to critical and frequently performed missions and tasks.

Table 1 

Sample Rationales for Determining the Viability of Training Methods 

Criteria Sample Rationales 

Does the exercise 

type fit the 

echelon? 

3⁄4 The FTX is intended for battalion and brigade echelon training, but not for 

company and platoon. 

3⁄4 The STX is intended for company and platoon echelon training, but not for 

battalion and brigade. 

3⁄4 The CFX is intended for battalion and brigade echelon training, but not for 

company and platoon. 

Does the 

environment 

support the 

exercise? 

3⁄4 CCTT can support exercises such as a company STX, a brigade CFX, and a 

battalion FTX because there are sufficient simulators for the number of 

participants involved. 

3⁄4 CCTT should not be used to support a battalion CPX because the staff 

participants in this exercise do not require CCTT’s virtual portrayal of the 

battlefield. 

3⁄4 The live training environments, or ranges, as they currently exist are not large 

enough or intended for a brigade level LFX; these ranges, however, are used to 

enable the LFX at the company and platoon echelons. 

Is the exercise 

efficient in the 

environment? 

3⁄4 The MAPEX is more efficiently conducted in a live environment (i.e., using a 

paper map) than in a constructive environment. Constructive simulations 

require resources and detailed coordination that are not needed in the live 

setting. There are advantages to utilizing constructive simulation for MAPEXlike training; however, these events more closely resemble wargaming 

operations and are better classified as CPX training. 

3⁄4 It is far more efficient for a brigade to conduct a CPX in constructive 

simulation than it is for a brigade to execute a completely live CPX. It is far 

more efficient to use constructive simulation to assess casualties, compute 

movement times, and account for environmental factors, than it is to use the 

myriad of controllers a completely live CPX would require. 

3⁄4 A battalion FCX with the narrow objective of improving the battalion’s ability 

to shift the priority of mortar fires is more efficiently conducted in virtual, 

rather than in a live simulation due to the great expense associated with 

executing the tasks live. 

Note. CCTT = Close Combat Tactical Trainer; CFX = command field exercise; CPX = command post exercise; 

FCX = fire control exercise; FTX = field training exercise; LFX = live fire exercise; MAPEX = map exercise; 

STX = situational training exercise. 

Consistent with Army doctrine that training be task-based, it makes sense to identify the 

initial domain of training content in terms of the tasks performed by the unit type for which the 

core set is being specified. Our recommendation, at least at this time, is to start with the 

appropriate MTP that specifies the collective tasks as well as leader tasks and supporting 

individual tasks. Other sources, such as the Army Universal Task List (DA, 2000b), which is 

under development, may eventually provide a more comprehensive and useful documentation of 

training requirements. This overall domain of training requirements (tasks) is filtered to identify 

those upon which training should actually focus by asking the following: Should this task be the 
14 

focus of an exercise or will it be trained more efficiently in the context of another task? This 

identifies the tasks which will become the focus of the core set. An example of this activity, 

completed for a tank platoon, is shown in Figure 6. 

Selection Criteria

 Would You Develop an Exercise Would You Develop an Exercise

 Specifically to Train the Task? Specifically to Train the Task?

 Could this Task be More Efficiently Could this Task be More Efficiently

 Trained in the Context of Another Trained in the Context of Another

 Task?

Figure 6. An example of task filtering for a tank platoon. 

As illustrated in this figure, the tank platoon MTP was used to derive the collective tasks 

that comprise the potential training domain for the tank platoon core set. Each task was 

examined in light of the specified filters to produce the reduced list of tasks shown. These tasks 

serve as the training content upon which the core set focuses. It is important to point out, 

however, that even though some tasks are not selected as focus tasks, this does not mean that 

they will not be included in the training. It simply means that they will be trained in the context 

of an exercise that focuses on another task. In the example shown, “Conduct Troop-Leading 

Procedures” was not selected as a focus task since it will be trained in the context of virtually 

every exercise. Similarly, “Conduct Tactical Movement” can be trained within the context of 

exercises that focus on broader tasks, such as “Assault an Enemy Position.” 

Once the tasks upon which the core set will focus have been identified, the next activity is to 

group them into doctrinally sound combinations that can be sequenced into realistic battlefield 

storylines. Consistent with the Army’s “train as you fight” ethos, storylines must reflect the 

manner in which events truly unfold on the battlefield. This activity is somewhat subjective, and 
15 

there is no single, correct outcome. We have, however, developed guidelines to assist its 

completion. 

First, analyze the tasks to determine how they actually occur in battlefield conditions. This 

selects those tasks that reflect broad and commonly trained missions. Next, analyze the tasks for 

possible groupings that can be trained together. The identified missions and other task groupings 

are then used to create realistic training scenarios. Keep in mind that, at this point, training 

method is not yet a factor in the analysis. Allowing the training method (the simulation 

environment and exercise type) to qualify decisions that determine storyline structure will create 

storylines that are artificial to the extent that the training method constrains battlefield conditions 

and performance. This will cause difficulties in mapping storylines onto training methods in 

Step 5. An example of this activity, again using the tank platoon, is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7. An example of identifying storylines for a tank platoon. 

As this example illustrates, the 16 tasks selected during the previous activity were analyzed 

to create a more limited number of storylines for the core set. Most of the tasks could have been 

trained as stand-alone operations and can represent entire storylines resulting in a large number 

of exercises. Applying the specified guidelines, however, allowed the tasks to be grouped into 

storylines, examples of which are shown. 

Step 4. Identify Specifications for Collective Training. Step 4 identifies specifications for 

core set training by assigning training methods to the storylines identified in the previous step. 

At this point, we are still not identifying specific exercises; rather, we are broadly specifying the 

types of exercises that would be appropriate for each storyline. To accomplish this, one analyzes 
16 

the storylines to identify which of the viable training methods are appropriate for each. The 

decisions rest upon how well the environment and type of exercise support training of the tasks 

included in the storyline considered. This analysis boils down to two questions: Does the 

training method support the tasks to be trained? Will the resulting training be efficient? 

Answering these questions entails deciding how effectively the tasks can be trained in a given 

TADSS environment6 and whether the training is the best way to accomplish the training 

objectives. For each storyline, the answers to these questions will determine which training 

methods the core set should employ to train that content, thereby determining the specifications 

for core set training. An example of the results of completing Step 5 for tank platoon storylines 

is shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8. An example of identifying specifications for collective training for a tank platoon. 

As illustrated, the analysis of the storylines for the tank platoon identifies the specific 

training methods, in terms of exercise type and environment, that are likely to be effective and 

efficient in training the storyline. The exercise types are ones that were found to be viable in 

Step 3 for the live or virtual environments. No constructive training had been deemed viable. 

Step 5. Identify Core TSP Set. The final step in the process of developing a core set of 

TSPs entails specifying the actual set of exercises and TSPs that reflects the results of Steps 1 

 

6

 Burnside (1990) provides a method for making a task-by-task assessment of which collective tasks can be 

performed in a given simulation environment. The work dealt specifically with selecting MTP tasks for the 

Simulation Networking (SIMNET) system (Alluisi, 1991). However, the method could be used to produce an index 

of training fidelity for each task performed in any given TADSS. 
17 

through 4. This specification is based on practical considerations that occur at the time the 

specification is made, such as availability of exercise development resources and consideration 

of the most pressing needs of the unit type for which the core set is being developed. Ultimately, 

the goal is to develop exercises for all of the core set training specifications identified in Step 4. 

It may, however, be impractical to accomplish this all at once. In any event, this step turns the 

general specifications of Step 5 into specific exercises. That is, for each training method and 

storyline considered by the process, a list of exercises that trains them is developed and 

specified. Figure 9 shows the outcome of Step 5 for one of the storylines of the tank platoon. 

The storyline has been named “Deliberate Attack,” and one possible grouping of exercises to 

train it is shown.7

TSP Component and Element Identification 

The second aspect of the SOW’s direction to explore TSP requirements for U.S. Army 

combat arms units at brigade and below through the year 2005 is the identification of the data 

components that comprise a TSP for collective training exercises. For the purposes of this 

project, data components refer to the information items that make up the TSP as opposed to the 

contents of those items. Component identification is critical to future Army training in a number 

of ways. First, the components themselves must support structured training as it has evolved 

over the past decade (Campbell et al., 2000). Thus, the information in the TSP must support the 

identification of the stimuli or cues that elicit collective task and supporting individual task 

performance and the performance feedback that is vital to structured training. Second, the use of 

 

7

 It would have been equally feasible to break the STX-Live Deliberate Attack exercise into smaller exercises as was 

done for the STX-CCTT. The breakdown shown represents one way to break out the training. This further 

illustrates that there is no single correct “solution” to core set identification. 
18 

a common set of TSP components will facilitate sharing TSPs since users will be familiar with 

and have a common understanding of the information in the TSP. Similarly, it will facilitate 

exercise execution in that the various personnel involved in executing an exercise will also have 

a common understanding. Finally, having a commonly accepted set of TSP components will 

facilitate the development of the user tools or applications that comprise the ATIA since several 

of the Automated Information Systems identified therein will employ TSPs, both proponent- and 

user-developed. 

Before beginning the discussion of how the project team developed the TSP component 

listing produced in this project, several clarifying points need to be made. First, we had no 

preconceived ideas concerning whether a single set of components or different sets would be 

needed for TSPs developed for different exercises. Can the same set of components support 

exercises for different training methods and environments and different TADSS or are the 

differences so great as to require different sets? Second, we recognized the need to develop the 

component set independent of any single user of the TSP. If we were to identify all required 

components, we needed to be mindful of all potential TSP users. Finally, we needed to identify a 

component to a level that would support development of database specifications for it. Although 

it was not our task to develop the actual database specifications, for the components to have 

utility, they must be at a sufficiently detailed level so that specifications can be developed.8

 This 

is particularly critical to support future training systems as outlined in the ATIA. 

The TSP Component Identification Process 

Figure 10 depicts the process the team employed to identify the components of a TSP for a 

collective training exercise. While the process is shown as five discrete steps leading to the 

development of the list, in actuality there was a great deal of overlap. We were continuously 

going back and revising earlier products (TSP component names and definitions) based on 

identifying and delineating other components and definitions. However, for presentation 

purposes, it is less confusing to think in terms of the steps shown. 

The foundation of the process was data collection which continued throughout. As 

described in the data collection section, this activity consisted of obtaining and examining 

relevant documentation, interviewing military, government, and civilian personnel involved in 

collective training, and in examining examples of TSPs produced by units, training support units, 

and contractors. Altogether, a total of 16 TSPs were obtained and examined9

. Of the 16, 7 were 

designed for live exercises, 6 for constructive exercises, and 3 for virtual exercises. The key 

Army documents related to TSP components are TR 350-70 Systems Approach to Training 

Management, Processes, and Products (DA, 1999) and Training Circular (TC) 25-10 A Leader’s 

Guide to Lane Training (DA, 1996a). We also obtained and examined the Army’s Automated

 The TSPs examined represent a broad range of user- and contractor-produced TSPs without allowing any 

particular type to dominate. For example, although we had access to numerous Simulation Networking (SIMNET) 

and CCTT exercise TSPs, only one was included in the 16 that were examined.

The TR 350-70 (DA, 1999) provides a well-conceptualized model of TSP components for 

collective TSPs, termed Warfighter TSPs in the regulation. The range of components 

theoretically covers the full array of those required by the various exercise types and 

environments, but at a fairly high level. The components are specified in very general terms that 

collapse across numerous, more specific “sub-components,” and it is these sub-components that 

would be required to produce the precision necessary to develop database specifications. The 

component list from TR 350-70 is included in Appendix C. 

The TC 25-10 (DA, 1996a) deals strictly with lane training exercises and does not address 

the other types of exercises that figure prominently in the present effort to identify TSP 

components. The training circular was of value primarily in that it provided a time-tested, 

doctrinal model of a TSP which provided a second source for comparison to other doctrinal 

sources and to the example TSPs obtained. The listing of components contained in TC 25-10 is 

included in Appendix D. 
20 

Step 1. Analyze Doctrine and Training Materials. As shown in Figure 10, the first activity 

of the process was to analyze the various doctrinal and TSP materials. This was accomplished 

by “crosswalking” the various sources against one another. The TR 350-70 (DA, 1999) was 

compared to TC 25-10 (DA, 1996a) to determine components common to both or unique to one 

or the other. The TR 350-70 was also compared to the example TSPs using the same method. In 

both instances, it proved difficult to make comparisons with a great degree of confidence 

because of the different names used as well as the differences in level of specificity employed. 

Sample TSP components of even similar natures and functions exhibited great variance. In the 

end, we determined that every sample TSP contained components that conformed, to a greater or 

lesser degree, with those of the TR 350-70 and TC 25-10 models, and there were many 

components that simply didn’t conform to the models at all. Based on the comparison, however, 

we were able to develop our initial list of TSP components which provided the starting point for 

the remainder of the components identification process. 

Step 2. Generate a List of TSP Components. With the list produced in the above activity as 

a starting point, the project team began to identify a comprehensive list of TSP components 

based on its own combined knowledge and experience in collective training in a variety of 

environments. Components were identified without reference to any specific user of the TSP, 

although this sometimes proved difficult. We also made no distinction, at this time, between 

components for live, virtual, or collective exercises – we simply set out to list all of them. In 

fact, it was during this activity that we began to think seriously about the possibility that a single 

component list might apply to all TSPs in all environments. 

The actual process of developing and refining the component list involved a series of 

“brainstorming” sessions involving all of the team members. Components were proposed, 

named, modified, renamed, remodified, and decomposed into smaller components in an effort to 

produce a comprehensive list. This process was repeated over the course of numerous sessions 

resulting in the list that served as the basis for the next activity. 

Step 3. Decompose TSP Components and Elements. During this activity, the project team 

began to consider the components from the standpoint of how they would be “databased”; that is, 

for each component, we asked the question: Is this component identified at a level sufficient to 

allow it to be specified in terms of designing a database of components? It was while completing 

this activity that the project team began to see that some of our previously identified components 

actually consisted of multiple components from a database standpoint. This helped our further 

refinement of the list and led to a slight change in terminology. We continued to use the term 

component; however, it came to signify a group of TSP elements. The term “element” was used 

to indicate a piece of a TSP that had been identified at a level sufficient to develop database 

specifications for it. This does not imply that the element consists of a single datum; it simply 

means that there is no reason to decompose it further to use it in a user tool or application. 

This activity was conducted for all of the components identified previously leading to a 

refined list that consisted of components and elements. It also marked the end of the actual 

identification process; remaining activities were directed at providing further definition or 

organization of the components and elements. 
21 

Step 4. Refine Definitions of TSP Components and Elements. The next step in the 

identification process was to review each component and element identified and produce a 

concise definition or description of it. The purpose of this activity was to define the 

components/elements from the standpoint of the TSP users, which required a broader perspective 

than from the standpoint of the project team alone. This step served two important functions. 

First, producing a commonly agreed-upon definition significantly clarified many of the 

components/elements. Often members of the project team would have slightly different 

connotations for a particular element, which were not apparent until this step. Coming to an 

agreed-upon definition or description helped focus our thinking. It also helped to further identify 

elements since, occasionally, the discussion of a component or element would make it clear that 

we were dealing with more than one. 

The result of this step was a component/element list that satisfied the requirements of the 

project. The list was not, however, organized in any particular manner, and the team realized 

that some organization would be helpful for presentation of the list to interested stakeholders. 

This was the function of the next activity. 

Step 5. Organize TSP Components and Elements. The final activity of the TSP components 

identification process was to group the components and elements identified to this point to 

facilitate their presentation to various interested parties. After examining existing categorization 

schemes, such as that in TR 350-70 (DA, 1999), the team decided to place the 

components/elements in categories related to their function in an exercise. As with previous 

activities, this was difficult to do without reference to a particular user. However, in the end, we 

were able to produce a categorization scheme that serves all users and that will assist in the 

development of the user tools and applications discussed later in this report. The list of TSP 

components and elements is shown in Figure 11. (The complete list including definitions and 

examples is included in this report as Appendix E.) 

Validation of the TSP Component and Element List 

Validation of the project’s list of TSP components included several reviews to verify that 

the list of TSP components meets the specifications for its design, and that it has utility. 

The first review examined whether the list produced is consistent with current Army TSP 

documentation. Consistency does not mean that the components mirror other Army lists either 

in components included or organization; rather, it means that our list accounts for all the 

functions served by the components in the Army lists. To make this verification, the project 

team conducted crosswalks that compared the project list with the lists provided by TR 350-70 

(DA, 1999) and TRADOC’s Train the Force Integrated Definition Model: Create Collective 

War Fighter Training Support Packages (DA, 1996b). Each crosswalk showed that we covered 

the intended functions of the Army lists, and no revisions were made based on this limited 

review. The results of these crosswalks are contained in Appendixes F and G respectively.

 The next review examined whether the components and elements fit all exercise types and 

environments, and whether they worked for all TSP users. The team produced charts showing 

which components were required by exercise type and environment and by TSP user. These 

were employed as the basis of a subject matter expert (SME) review using military and 

contractor personnel who have extensive experience in collective training including members of 

the Force XXI Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance Team at Fort Knox. For each 

exercise type and environment, SMEs walked through the list of components, judging the 

appropriateness of each component for that type of exercise. They then attempted to identify 

unlisted components that might be required in such an exercise. This review produced a limited 

number of revisions10 to the component list. More importantly, it confirmed the team’s growing 

realization that the complete list provides all of the components and elements needed for TSPs 

for exercise types and environments that fall within the scope of the project. That is, there is 

sufficient commonality that the same master list of TSP components and elements will work for 

all exercise types and all environments. This is not to say that every component or element is 

required for every exercise type or environment; rather, there is enough commonality to justify 

using the same list for all. In the end, depending upon exercise type and environment, there may 

be some components or elements that are not required for a particular instance; however, in this 

case, there will simply be no data required for those fields. This should greatly simplify database 

development in support of the ATIA. 

As a final validation of the TSP component and element list, the project team presented a 

briefing on the list to personnel from DCST (Training Development and Analysis Directorate), 

the Army Training Support Center, DCST-West (Collective Training Directorate), and U.S. 

Army Simulation, Training and Instrumentation Command. Because of the large amount and 

complexity of the information to be reviewed, the list of components and their descriptions were 

provided to reviewers one week in advance of face-to-face feedback sessions. 

This review focused primarily on utilization, but also revealed the need to reexamine the 

comprehensiveness of the list. Reviewers wanted to know whether or not the list would support 

the development of Attack Aviation exercises, battle drills, and tank tactical tables. Following 

the review, the project SMEs conducted the required analyses and determined that the list, as 

designed, would support the construction of TSPs for the exercise types in question. In addition, 

minor editorial corrections to the list were made based on feedback received. 

The TSP component and element list can serve as the basis for the specification and 

development of databases required to support TSP development within the ATIA. Using the 

components and elements identified, analysts can specify data types and relationships such that 

the resulting databases will serve the needs of TSP users involved in developing, assessing, and 

executing the collective exercises supported. Furthermore, the databases will serve as the basis 

for the applications that will be developed within the ATIA framework to support the various 

 

10 In considering the live fire exercise, it was questioned whether the project team had considered the gunnery 

exercise as a type of training supported by TSPs for collective training. Gunnery had not been a focus. Thus, 

project SMEs reviewed the list for components that might be required for gunnery exercises, but that were not 

presently included in the list.

TSP users. The next section of the report addresses how those TSPs will be managed and 

assessed after they have been produced. 

User-Produced TSP Management and Assessment 

This section of the report addresses management and assessment of user-produced TSPs. It 

addresses these issues in the context of the Army’s planned top-level training information 

architecture and examines, in detail, assessment of TSPs from the viewpoint of various users and 

uses. It also examines management issues related to access of TSPs, distribution of TSPs, TSP 

approval, and TSP maintenance. 

Assessment of User-Produced TSPs 

When a user produces a TSP, either by creating a new one or by modifying an existing one, 

several levels of assessment11 may be needed as illustrated in Figure 12. The most basic, and 

probably most critical, occurs within the unit (and/or its parent organization) and involves 

assessing whether or not the exercise is likely to be effective and is of high quality. That is, 

personnel within the unit examine the exercise TSP to determine whether it fits the unit’s 

training needs and is doctrinally and tactically sound. Specifically, the criteria for this 

assessment are: Does the exercise match the unit’s training needs? Is the exercise tactically and 

doctrinally correct? Are the Mission Essential Task List (METL) tasks and supporting collective 

and individual tasks addressed adequately? Does the exercise utilize the training environment 

best suited to the unit’s training needs? Are the resources adequate to conduct the training? Are 

safety and environmental issues addressed adequately? It would also be beneficial to assess the 

TSP in terms of adherence to structured training principles; however, this may be beyond the 

level of expertise of unit personnel at this time. As structured training techniques and principles 

are included in institutional training, unit members will increasingly be able to assess this also. 

Unit level assessment is illustrated by the bottom step in Figure 12. 

Consistent with FM 25-100 doctrine that “leaders in the chain of command are responsible 

for the training and performance of their soldiers and units” (DA, 1988, p. 1-5), this level of 

assessment could be conducted by the unit commander (e.g., the platoon leader or company 

commander for platoon- or company-level exercises). However, to ensure that the training fits 

within the larger scope of higher echelon training requirements, the exercise should also be 

assessed at least one level up the chain of command (or two to be consistent with Army 

doctrine.) This is especially true if the unit commander is also the exercise developer. Platoon 

exercises would be assessed by the company commander, company exercises would be assessed 

by the battalion commander, and so on. Also, for exercises that are more complex (a battalionlevel live fire exercise for example), it is likely that this assessment would be conducted by a 

team of unit personnel such as the battalion and brigade commanders and operations officers. 

 

11 When we talk about assessment of user-produced TSPs, we are talking about assessment from the standpoint of 

training content, training methodology, and the likelihood that the exercise will be successful. We are not talking 

about TSP components or format. We assume that there will be automated tools for developing exercise TSPs, 

probably as a component of SATS, that will ensure that the TSP has all required components and is properly 

formatted and packaged for distribution over electronic media. 
26 

Unit assessment results in a decision of whether the exercise is “ready to be run” or if it needs 

further work. Since user-produced TSPs, unlike those produced by proponents, are not likely to 

go through a developmental testing process, this assessment is extremely important.12

The next type of assessment required involves examining or testing the exercise from a 

technical or logistic standpoint to ensure that it will run in the environment(s) for which it was 

developed. This is shown in Figure 12 in the step labeled Site Assessment. For example, after 

developing an exercise for the CCTT, the user would take it to the CCTT site; site personnel 

would assess it for any obvious problems, and, if possible, would “dry run” the exercise to 

ensure that it can be executed. (In the near future, desktop systems such as Modular SemiAutomated Forces and Both Forces will provide the user with the capability to complete this 

assessment without the need to involve site personnel.) The intent of this assessment is to 

discover execution problems related to the simulation/simulator or site prior to actually 

conducting the training in order to avoid wasting the unit’s training time and resources. 

 

12 Based on input from interviews the team conducted, we concluded that it is extremely unlikely that any collective 

exercise will be run more than once without some type of modification. Even from one time to another, the same 

unit will have slightly different training requirements necessitating at least minor changes to an exercise it executed 

previously. If the exercise is used by a different unit, it will at least require modifications to unit names and 

designations. This environment does not efficiently support a continuous formative evaluation process. 
27 

The next type of assessment, labeled Execution Assessment in Figure 12, examines how the 

exercise actually worked when executed. This is not to be confused with assessing the unit’s 

performance during the exercise. Rather, this assessment looks at such things as whether the 

events in the exercise occurred as planned, whether the TSP had all the required information, and 

whether the cues provided were adequate to produce the desired unit actions. This activity is 

essentially doing formative evaluation of the exercise; however, since the exercise is likely to be 

executed “as is” only a single time by the developing unit, it is not likely that it will go through 

an iterative development process. Instead, the information obtained during exercise execution is 

added to the TSP in the “Exercise Execution Notes” field and made available to anyone who may 

consider the exercise in the future as a candidate for execution or modification. 

The above three types of assessments are directed primarily to providing supporting data to 

the initiating unit’s decision regarding whether the exercise is ready to be run. If the exercise 

stays within the unit or is never considered for execution again, no further assessment would be 

necessary. As soon as one begins to consider distributing exercises to other users, however, 

additional assessment is required. 

Proponent Assessment, the fourth type as shown in Figure 12, occurs outside the initiating 

unit and will typically occur for exercises that are going to be made available to other units via a 

centralized database of exercises. This assessment is directed at determining whether the 

exercise is of sufficient quality and meets criteria for inclusion in the database. This assessment 

involves examining the exercise for doctrinal correctness and proper use of structured training 

techniques and adherence to structured training principles. It also addresses issues such as: Is 

this exercise substantially the same as one already in the database? Does the exercise include all 

necessary components? Is the exercise “packaged” properly for distribution via electronic 

media? The identification of all specific criteria that apply to this assessment requires further 

research and cannot be completed until decisions are made regarding technical issues related to 

exactly how exercises are going to be stored and shared, including how they are going to be 

maintained. 

The final assessment type illustrated in Figure 12, Selection Assessment, is made by a unit 

commander considering whether or not to use an exercise obtained from another unit or from a 

centralized database. The assessment questions asked by the unit “adopting” the exercise would 

be very similar to those discussed above: Does the exercise match the unit’s training needs? Are 

the METL tasks and supporting collective and individual tasks addressed adequately? Does the 

exercise utilize the training environment best suited to the unit’s training needs? Are the 

resources adequate to conduct the training? Are safety and environmental issues addressed 

adequately? As stated previously, it is extremely unlikely that any exercise will be completely 

appropriate for execution by another unit; however, it may be usable with modifications. 

Therefore, a critical assessment issue at this point would be the commander’s estimate of the 

amount of modification required to make the exercise acceptable for use. There are no hard-andfast criteria for this decision; the answer will depend to a great extent on the previous experience 

of the commander in creating or modifying training exercises. 

Taken together, these five types of assessments of the TSP may appear formidable. 

However, the first three are essentially what is being done currently by units or by proponents 
28 

who are assessing school- or contractor-produced exercises. The remaining two only come into 

play if the TSP is made a candidate for distribution. 

Access to User-Produced TSPs 

Central to the idea of user-produced TSPs is the notion that they will be made available to 

other units with similar training needs. This raises the question of how other units will be able to 

access them. For purposes of exploring this question, we assume that units developing TSPs will 

have local networks and that their network servers can be made accessible to other units. We 

also assume that there will be centrally located servers or repositories such as the General Dennis 

J. Reimer Training and Doctrine Digital Library (RDL) which are accessible by units. We can 

easily eliminate any access method involving a direct connection to a unit or central server. 

Direct access using current facilities available to units would be prohibitively slow and 

inefficient. In addition, there is the issue of how users would know where to look for a given 

TSP. Unless all TSPs were stored in a central repository, some methodology or procedure would 

need to be developed for informing potential users of all available TSPs and where to locate 

them. This is quite impractical. Similarly, we can eliminate use of a private network linking all 

users producing or searching for existing TSPs via Army or Department of Defense owned or 

leased facilities. This is certainly technologically possible; however, the cost would be 

prohibitive. This clearly points to using the Internet. 

All of the technology necessary to access and share user-produced TSPs via the Internet 

currently exists and is readily available. Internet browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer and Netscape) 

are universally available, and development of a custom browser, if necessary, is not difficult. 

Locating TSPs can be accomplished with existing search engines (e.g., Yahoo, Infoseek). For 

ease of use, the browser and search engine could be incorporated into any user applications 

developed to create, modify, or otherwise use TSPs. 

Of more concern is the issue of security. Individual units may be reluctant to give access to 

their servers to non-unit personnel unless a high level of security can be guaranteed, perhaps by 

requiring password access or by only allowing access to the TSP files and no others. Units may 

be more comfortable with having all accessible TSPs located on a central server such as the 

RDL. This would provide security since access can be controlled through passwords, but could 

quickly lead to storage problems on the RDL as more and more exercise TSPs are stored there. 

We also question the efficiency of using the RDL to store exercises that may be accessed only 

rarely. A third possibility is to establish a network of servers (at proponent schools, for example) 

that could be used for TSP storage and access. This does not eliminate the storage issue related 

to a central server; rather it mitigates it by spreading it out over several or many servers. A 

fourth alternative is to develop a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN uses encryption to 

provide secure connections over the Internet. It features built-in privacy and access control and 

allows only users belonging to the VPN to communicate freely across it. The VPN could 

provide a high level of security while satisfying the ATIA principle that data be logically 

centralized, but physically dispersed. 

Each of these alternatives for accessing user-produced TSPs has positives and negatives. 

While the project team leans strongly toward an alternative that uses the Internet, further 
29 

research taking into account unit needs, Army-wide requirements, and how TSPs are distributed 

will be necessary to select among them. 

Distribution of User-Produced TSPs 

There are myriad ways TSPs could be distributed depending upon how one looks at 

questions of approval, access control, and maintenance. Three possibilities are illustrated in 

Figure 13. In the method labeled Centrally Distributed, all user-accessible TSPs would be stored 

on a single server accessible via the Internet. As will be explained in greater detail later, this 

method supports approval by a proponent along with centralized maintenance of the TSPs 

themselves. The Widely Distributed method provides for any TSP (that the developing unit 

wishes to make available) being accessible to any user, again via the Internet. This method 

requires no central approval and no ongoing maintenance. The third alternative, labeled Hybrid 

Method, combines features of the first two. In this method, some TSPs will be accessible from a 

central server; others will be accessible directly from the developing unit’s server. The TSPs on 

the central server could be the core set identified by the process described earlier. In addition, if 

a developing unit or the proponent wished to nominate an exercise for inclusion on the central 

server, it could be added after undergoing a proponent assessment and approval process. The 

TSPs accessible directly from unit servers would continue to require no external approval or 

maintenance. Individuals interviewed were evenly split between the Centrally and Widely 

Distributed alternatives with the primary difference lying in how they viewed the TSP approval 

process. Before examining the differences, however, a brief discussion of common issues related 

to TSP distribution is in order. 

Any exercise TSP consists of a large amount of data or information as evidenced in the 

previous discussion of TSP components. Many of these components appear in multiple locations 

in a TSP. In addition, the organization and presentation of these components depends largely 

upon who is using that information. These factors suggest that TSPs are best treated as records 

or files and that database applications be used to access them. This eliminates the need for any 

user to enter the same data into more than one location in the TSP, as he or she would need to do 

if the TSP was stored and maintained as a word processing file. It also allows the information in 

the TSP to be formatted and presented to best fit the needs of a particular TSP user by providing 

a “tool” or application program designed specifically for that user. As discussed later, the 

project team has identified six unique users each of whom will use different components of the 

TSP and for whom these components might be presented in different formats. The question 

becomes how best to make TSPs that are stored as database records or files sharable among 

users. 

If all TSPs are stored in a central repository (the Centrally Distributed Method), they can 

simply be stored as records in a single database. Users would access individual TSPs by 

accessing the database remotely, viewing the available records and selecting the specific record 

they wish to access. That record could be transferred to the user’s local machine by “packaging” 

the record as a unique database file and downloading it, all of which would be transparent to the 

user. The user’s application would treat the file as the “back end” database to the front end 

application he or she was using.

they wish to access. That record could be transferred to the user’s local machine by “packaging” 

the record as a unique database file and downloading it, all of which would be transparent to the 

user. The user’s application would treat the file as the “back end” database to the front end 

application he or she was using. 

If, on the other hand, TSPs are stored on and accessed from any unit’s server (assuming the 

unit chooses to make it available), the situation is somewhat different. The TSP still needs to be 

a database file; however, it must be searchable using either an existing or custom-made search 

engine. This would require each TSP to be packaged and stored as a separate file, and to have 

that file embedded in or linked to an Internet browser-readable file (Hypertext Markup Language 

[HTML], for example). These alternatives are depicted in Figure 14. In the Centrally 

Distributed method, users search only the TSP database using an application which displays a 

“thumbnail” description of each exercise matching their search criteria. When they find the 
31 

exercise they want, they download it to their local machines.13 In the Widely Distributed 

method, users search the Internet (or a VPN on the Internet) for files that match their search 

criteria. From the list of “links” the search produces, they select those they wish to examine in 

more depth and see a “thumbnail” of the exercise. When they find the one they want, they link 

to the actual exercise database file for download to their local machine.

To support the Centrally Distributed method, little additional information or data will be 

needed in the TSP itself. The user links to the remote server using a database application that 

can access the remote database file directly, allowing the user to determine whether he or she 

wishes to download the exercise or not.14 To support the Widely Distributed method, on the 

 

13 In the future, technology will allow the user to work with a file on the remote server just as if it were on his local 

machine. However, we do not envision this being the case in the next five years, so we continue to propose 

downloading of the TSP file to the user’s local machine. 

14While the technology to do this efficiently may not be readily available today, we anticipate that it will be within 

the five-year scope of this project. At present the application to access and download the TSP would most likely 

reside on the remote server. 
32 

other hand, additional information or material needs to be created for “packaging” purposes: 

information for searching for the exercise, and information for displaying a “thumbnail” of the 

exercise to the user. The most viable methodology for accomplishing the “packaging” is to 

create an Internet browser-readable file (e.g., an HTML file) as shown in Figure 15. The user 

application, either automatically or at the direction of the user, would create the HTML file from 

existing data in the exercise TSP. The file would contain the information to facilitate a search 

and the information that makes up the thumbnail. It would also contain a link to the actual 

exercise TSP file. The project team has included the “key word index” data element in the TSP 

components list to serve the first function; the second would be served by pulling together other 

data elements that are sufficient to provide a detailed enough description of the exercise to allow 

the user to select it.15 The Hybrid Distribution method would combine both of these access and 

retrieval methods.

15 To eliminate different access and retrieval methods, it is quite possible to use the HTML method even for TSPs 

stored on a central database. Each TSP would be treated as a separate file. This may warrant further research. 
33 

The distribution methods described conform to ATIA principles: They separate the data 

from the applications used to access them, any metafiles created are user-oriented, and data are 

logically centralized while physically distributed. As with access issues, further study will be 

needed to make final decisions regarding distribution methods; however, at this time, the project 

team strongly advocates use of the Hybrid method. It utilizes the best features of both the 

Centrally and Widely Distributed methods: It makes TSPs that are part of a core set easy to 

locate and access while not overburdening the central server housing these TSPs, and it allows 

access to every TSP that has been made available regardless of how obscure it may be. 

User-Produced TSP Approval 

Based on the responses of the personnel interviewed, TSP approval is likely to be a 

contentious issue. At one end of the spectrum, there were those who felt strongly that no TSP 

should be made available that had not gone through a proponent assessment and been approved 

for distribution. The major concern was that poor quality exercises would proliferate and 

collective training would eventually be severely degraded. On the other end of the spectrum 

were those who thought that all TSPs should be made available to any user, and that the user is in 

the best position to assess the TSP and determine whether or not it fits his or her needs. 

The project team agrees that the unit commander is the final authority on the training needs 

of his or her unit. However, he or she is probably not the most qualified person for judging the 

appropriateness or quality of a TSP for use outside his or her unit. At this time and for the 

foreseeable future, there is a need for proponent approval, at least for those exercises that are 

stored in a central repository. The TSP users will have a tendency to view exercises that are 

stored in a central repository as having been “blessed;” therefore, positive steps need to be taken 

to ensure they are of highest quality. In addition, any exercises added to the central repository 

will need to go through the same proponent approval process. Users will perceive them as 

exemplars. Those TSPs which are not placed in a central repository, on the other hand, do not 

need to undergo proponent approval. The unit commander who considers the TSP for possible 

execution or modification is quite capable of determining whether the exercise is doctrinally 

sound and if it serves his training needs. 

User-Produced TSP Maintenance 

Maintenance of user-produced TSPs basically involves making sure that they are kept 

current. Do they conform to current MTPs and other Army manuals, and are they still 

compatible with the TADSS needed to execute them? However, before considering how this 

would be accomplished, we need to look at whether it should be accomplished. The answer, as 

with TSP approval, depends on how the TSP is distributed. The TSPs stored in a central 

repository are likely to be considered differently by users from those they find on unit servers. 

First, users will associate the centrally stored TSPs with the proponent, and it is reasonable to 

assume that they will think of them as approved and current. On the other hand, they are likely 

to consider TSPs found on a unit server as ones that were developed for a particular training 

need, were run once, and have not been looked at since, thus requiring closer scrutiny. Based on 

this approach, we conclude that the centrally stored TSPs will require ongoing maintenance; the 

others will not. 
34 

Maintenance of centrally stored TSPs is likely to involve substantial effort. Whenever 

manuals change, or there is a change in the TADSS, each exercise that uses that manual or 

TADSS will need to be examined to determine the impact of the changes. Based on this 

examination, the exercise may need to be revised. It is possible some revisions could be 

automated; however, this will likely work only with the simplest of revisions. The burden of 

TSP maintenance will probably rest with the proponents and it must be recognized that 

substantial effort will be involved. 

Maintenance of TSPs kept on the unit servers would neither be required nor cost-effective. 

First of all, there is the question of who would do it. With everything else that demands 

commanders’ attention, it is very unlikely that they are going to be concerned with exercises 

developed or executed in the past. This is particularly true if they are never likely to run that 

exercise again. What is realistic to expect is that “maintenance” will occur whenever another 

unit selects that exercise for its own use. That is, one of the considerations unit commanders will 

make when they select an exercise is whether it uses current Field Manuals (FMs), MTPs, and 

TADSS. In fact, it would be even more efficient if the user tool or application they are using 

could transparently compare the MTP tasks and TADSS to the current versions and report any 

discrepancies to them. This would allow them to make a better informed decision to use the 

exercise or not. In any case, making the TSP conform to the latest manuals will be necessary 

only if the commander decides to use the exercise. 

User Tools 

A user tool or tool set needs to provide the functionality required to produce, administer, 

execute, and assess collective training exercises and their supporting TSPs. Given that a TSP is 

most efficiently treated as a database, any user tool developed should be a database application 

which provides access to the database of TSPs regardless of how they are distributed. The tool 

or tools should also provide built-in guidance and performance aids and access to other 

databases, such as those on the RDL, that may be needed to accomplish these functions. 

There are a number of issues or variables to consider when attempting to identify potential 

tools for the various TSP users. First is the identification of the users themselves and the role 

each will play in exercise development and execution. Another issue concerns whether it would 

be more efficient to have one tool that serves the needs of all users or separate tools tailored to 

individual user needs. A related issue concerns whether the same tool or tools will work for 

exercises developed for various exercise types and various training environments. 

Additionally, the identification of user tools needs to consider the larger context of the 

ATIA since any tools identified and developed would become components of it. More 

specifically, we need to attend to the ATIA principles and guidelines that the application tools 

are segregated from the data they use, that the data are logically centralized but physically 

dispersed, and that there will be one-time data entry to update all related system databases. Any 

tool developed needs to satisfy these requirements. 
35 

TSP Users and Application Requirements 

The project team examined the various roles that occur in the development and execution of 

collective exercises in the live, virtual, and constructive environments and identified six user 

groups: TSP developers; exercise O/Cs; exercise support personnel including opposing forces 

(OPFOR); site staff; unit administrative support personnel; and the training unit itself. Each of 

these groups has unique needs for the various TSP components discussed earlier, and each has 

different roles to play in the development and execution of collective exercises. They all need 

access to the same database of TSPs regardless of whether they are using separate tools or 

different components of one large master tool. The individual tools or components of a master 

tool should be structured so that only the information required by the user is made available to 

him or her, and for those users who need only review the TSP content, their access should be 

limited to read-only. The users and their roles are: 

1. Exercise developer – develops the exercise, either by creating a new one or by modifying 

an existing one. This individual, or in some cases group of individuals, will initially 

provide the vast majority of data for the TSP. The developer tool or function needs to be 

structured around a sound training development process for the exercise type and 

environment selected and needs to have access to all components and elements of the 

TSP. 

2. Exercise O/Cs – responsible for observing performance of the training unit; facilitating 

exercise after action reviews (AARs); coordinating the events that occur in the exercise; 

participating in exercise planning and preparation; and producing take home packages if 

appropriate. The O/C tool or function needs to allow access to all of the developerproduced information for review purposes. It also needs to allow the O/C to add new 

data or modify existing data for exercise scheduling, as well as for creating observation 

materials, AAR materials, and take home packages. 

3. Exercise support personnel – participate in exercise execution by supporting the activities 

of the training unit or by playing the role of the OPFOR. Support personnel may be 

military personnel from the training or other unit or site or training area staff. Individuals 

participating in the exercise in support capacities need to be able to review the TSP 

information required to perform their role; they will not need to modify or create any new 

information. The exercise support position tool needs to allow access to the information 

each individual needs to complete his activities in the exercise, which suggests that the 

tool or function will be able to filter the TSP based on the particular support role being 

played. As training environments and TADSS evolve to use the same workstation to play 

multiple support roles, at least in virtual and constructive environments, the exercise 

support position tool may need to change also. 

4. Site staff – the personnel at the training site or training area who are responsible for 

coordinating and scheduling training, ensuring that the exercise can be executed at the 

site or area, and providing the persons and equipment necessary to execute the exercise. 

The site staff tool or function needs to allow access to the TSP information needed to 

support exercise execution. It could also provide appropriate scheduling and reporting 

support, although those would not become part of the TSP. Finally, it would provide 
36 

input access to the Exercise Execution Notes component of the TSP for entry of 

information that would assist unit and site personnel in executing the exercise in the 

future. 

5. Unit administrative support personnel – individuals from the training unit or a higher 

echelon unit who are responsible for completing the scheduling and coordination 

necessary to run the training exercise. These individuals will most likely come from the 

operations section of the unit and will coordinate with the training unit, the personnel 

who will observe/control the exercise, the exercise support personnel, the site 

administrative and support personnel, and anyone else required to successfully run the 

exercise. The administrative support tool or function needs to allow access to all of the 

TSP information since all of it may impact exercise coordination. It might also include 

scheduling and coordination support tools, although that information would not become 

part of the TSP. 

6. Training unit – the personnel being trained through execution of the exercise. The 

training unit needs access to the components of the TSP necessary to provide 

background, motive, and enough information to conduct preliminary training and 

rehearsal for the actions they will take during exercise execution. In the case of live 

training, the unit needs access to sufficient information to conduct pre-combat 

inspections, move to the training area, and plan for exercise logistic support. For 

example, depending on the specific exercise being executed, they might need access to 

training tasks and objectives, the Road to War information, operations orders (OPORDs), 

maps and overlays. 

An Example User Application 

To illustrate further the nature of the user tools being considered, the project team developed 

screen shots that represent how one specific tool or function might operate.16 The tool selected 

was the O/C tool, the functionality of which is illustrated in Figure 16. The O/C tool allows 

users who will be observing/controlling an exercise to locate the appropriate exercise TSP either 

from a central repository or from a widely distributed source. Once located, they can then 

review all of the information needed to complete the exercise O/C activities including the 

exercise materials themselves and the previous training history of the unit. They can complete 

any necessary scheduling activities including coordination with other personnel who will 

observe/control the exercise and any pre-execution meetings. They can produce observation 

materials to be used during exercise execution as well as materials for conducting AARs. 

Finally, they can produce take-home packages, if appropriate. Integral to the application would 

be “help” and other information to assist the user in completing the O/C tasks or in using the 

application itself. A relatively complete set of screen shots for the O/C application is available 

from ARI at Fort Knox. Similar applications could be developed for the other users identified. 

 

16 We should point out that one tool, CITT, has already been developed for exercises conducted using CCTT. That 

tool currently includes some degree of functionality for each of the user groups.

Additional User Application Issues 

Applications Segregated from Databases. The ATIA specifies that applications developed 

within it be segregated from the database(s) which support them. By linking the application to 

the database rather than embedding the database in the application, a number of benefits are 

achieved. First, multiple applications can link to the same database with each application being 

designed around only those functions which are integral to it. So, for example, an application for 

exercise support personnel will link to the TSP database (whether centrally or widely distributed) 

and will provide users with access to those elements of the TSP needed to complete their role in 

the exercise. Similarly, the training unit will be able to access the TSP but only to review or 

obtain the elements needed to set up their training – OPORDs and overlays, for example. All 

other information, such as where the OPFOR will appear and how they will fight, would be 

unavailable to them. In fact, for these users, access to the TSP could be “read only” since they 

need only obtain information and have no reason for modifying the TSP. More detailed research 

will be required to determine precisely what functions each user application will include and how 

access to the TSP will be provided. 
38 

On the other hand, for those users who do have a legitimate reason for modifying the TSP, 

segregating the application from the database supports the principle that there be one-time data 

entry for all uses and all users of the TSP. If training site personnel need to modify the exercise 

TSP to ensure that it actually works at the site, for example, any changes they make will flow to 

all users of the TSP. Also, if the modification appears in multiple locations in the TSP for any 

user, it will need to be entered only once. 

Implied in this discussion is the requirement that a mechanism be developed for ensuring 

that a single version of the TSP be maintained. This is relatively simple if the TSPs are 

contained in a centrally maintained database – it is a matter of controlling “write” access 

privileges. For widely distributed access, on the other hand, the situation is considerably more 

complicated. If a TSP is obtained from a unit server by a user who has legitimate reason to add 

to or modify it, that user needs a way to update the TSP on the unit’s server. Procedures for 

providing this type of access will need to be developed. If the user only modifies the TSP on his 

or her local computer, it will not migrate to the version on the unit’s server, and, very quickly, 

multiple versions of the same TSP will exist making the whole process of exercise development 

and execution extremely difficult. In the future, this difficulty will be mitigated to some extent 

by the likelihood that technology for remotely accessing and modifying files will develop to the 

point that it will be eminently possible for a user in one location to modify a TSP stored on a 

computer in another location as easily as if it were on his local machine. 

Different Applications for Different Environments. An issue that was not addressed by the 

current project concerns whether or not the same user application will work effectively for 

training in live, virtual, constructive, or combined environments. Will the same basic TSP 

development tool work equally well for developing an exercise for CCTT as for Warfighter 

Simulation? Similarly, will the same tool work equally well for developing a relatively 

constrained exercise such as one for CCTT versus a much larger exercise such as that used in a 

Synthetic Theater of War environment? The critical question is not one of size of the exercise as 

much as complexity. Will the same tool serve the needs of all exercise development or will 

variations be needed? Further research is needed to address these questions. 

Multiple Applications. Finally, there is the question of whether there is a single integrated 

application that includes the functionality required for all users, or whether it is more efficient to 

develop multiple applications. We favor the latter alternative. First, it greatly simplifies the 

individual applications if they need serve only one type of user. And, since each application is 

linking to the same database, there is no problem with different applications using different data. 

In addition, it allows for the possibility that different applications fit within different functions of 

the ATIA. It is fairly clear, for example, that the TSP development application fits within the 

Unit Training Management System or SATS component of ATIA. It is less clear where other 

user applications best fit. 
39 

Summary and Conclusions 

This report has presented the results of a research project to examine issues related to 

assessing and managing user-produced TSPs, where “user-produced” refers to TSPs that are 

developed by unit commanders and other unit trainers as well as institutional trainers who will be 

directly involved with executing the exercises they produce. In addition, the SOW (ARI, 1999) 

focused the research on combat arms organizations at brigade and below and directed the project 

team to address collective training in live, virtual, constructive, and combined environments at 

present and for the next five years. 

The major research activities consisted of: data collection from a wide variety of sources 

including existing reports and other documentation, Internet sites, and knowledgeable 

individuals; data analysis completed individually and as a group; and development of products to 

fulfill the project objectives based on the analyses of the data collected. A major focus of data 

collection was coordinating with the ongoing development of the ATIA which will establish a 

framework within which the products of the current project fit. In achieving the project 

objectives, several outcomes or products were produced. 

We developed a process for identifying core set exercises for combat arms units. This fivestep process involves identification of the unit for which the core set is being specified, 

determining viable training methods in terms of exercise types and training environments for the 

unit, specifying the content of the core set in terms of the collective tasks upon which it focuses, 

and identifying the specific exercises that comprise the core set. Using this process, proponents 

will be able to identify the exercises that could be included in a library or repository of exercises 

that would serve the majority of the collective training needs for a unit. 

We identified the components and elements of a TSP for collective training exercises to a 

level sufficient to develop database specifications for them. Although we did not develop 

database specifications, the work completed here will greatly facilitate such development which 

is an important step in the further development of the ATIA. As part of this activity, we also 

came to the conclusion that the same TSP components and elements can serve all collective 

training exercises for live, virtual, and constructive environments. 

We examined how user-produced TSPs should be assessed and identified five levels of 

assessment that may be required depending upon how the TSP is distributed. We also examined 

management issues including how users will access TSPs, how TSPs might be distributed, and 

the approval and maintenance processes for distributed TSPs. 

Finally, consistent with the user configurations identified in the ATIA, we identified six 

types of users for TSPs including developers, exercise support personnel, O/Cs, site personnel, 

unit administrative support personnel, and the unit itself. We examined the requirements each of 

these user types will have for the information contained in the TSP and considered the type of 

user tool or application that would serve these needs. We also examined one such tool – that for 

the O/C – in some detail and produced prototype screens showing how it would function. 
40 

Based upon the research completed, the project team came to the following conclusions: 

1. It is possible to specify a systematic process for identifying the exercises that would 

comprise a core set of exercises for a given combat arms unit. This process can be used 

by various proponents to determine the exercises that would comprise a repository of 

exercises that would serve many of the collective training needs of units. As users 

develop more exercises themselves, it will become increasingly important to have core 

sets available that provide exemplary exercises for use as is or that can be modified to 

serve the user’s specific training needs. 

2. The same set of TSP components and elements, and thus the same TSP database 

structure, can be used for all collective training exercises for combat arms units at brigade 

and below in live, virtual, constructive, and combined environments. The vast majority 

of components and elements are common to all exercises, and the small subset that are 

not can be handled easily by the user tools that will be developed to produce and present 

exercise TSPs. Individuals currently developing databases to support collective exercise 

TSPs within the ATIA can use the component and element list produced in this project as 

a starting point for their efforts. 

3. There are several ways that user-produced TSPs could be distributed to other potential 

users; however, the hybrid method that combines both the central distribution of core set 

TSPs and distribution from unit servers of all others appears to offer the greatest utility. 

This method makes the greatest number of TSPs available to the greatest number of 

users. Further research into the infrastructure required to support hybrid distribution is 

needed to determine the feasibility of using existing technology, such as the Internet, as 

well as the physical facilities currently available at typical Army installations. 

4. A TSP assessment methodology is critical to the whole concept of sharing TSPs among 

units since it provides some level of assurance that quality standards have been met. The 

present project proposes multiple types or levels of assessment of user-produced TSPs 

depending upon the purpose of the assessment and how TSPs will be distributed. All 

user-produced TSPs require assessment within the developing unit, however, only those 

distributed from a centralized repository require proponent assessment and approval. The 

TSPs distributed from unit servers will be assessed by the units considering them for their 

own use. 

5. There are multiple users of TSPs each of whom has different needs and requirements. 

These users will be best served by having a tool available that specifically addresses their 

needs. These tools should be database applications and may be stand-alone or may be a 

“plug in” to one of the functions specified in the ATIA. All tools would access the same 

database(s) of TSP components and elements. 

This project has examined issues related to user-produced TSPs in depth. In so doing, we 

have concluded that, although not specifically addressed in the ATIA, user-produced TSPs and 

the ATIA are fully compatible. Future efforts to develop ATIA and corresponding training 

information systems can build upon the work completed here to make full use of the unit-based 

training resources that exist throughout the Army.
