A Military Training System Perspective And Model For Training Program Management, Alvin J. Boudreaux Jan 1974

A Military Training System Perspective And Model For Training Program Management, Alvin J. Boudreaux

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A perspective of the Naval Education and Training System (NETS) is developed and utilized as a framework on which a simulation model of general training system activities is constructed. The simulation model, which is based on functional activities, emphasizes the interdependent consequences of decisions and actions created through management planning, analysis, and control of training programs. A simulation experiment was conducted using a test situation description (scenario) to reflect the impact of management decisions and actions on the resulting allocation of resources and timeliness of training program activities. Conclusions are drawn regarding the utility and implications of the system dynamics …


The Application Of System Dynamics Techniques To War Game Modeling, G. Vincent Amico Jan 1973

The Application Of System Dynamics Techniques To War Game Modeling, G. Vincent Amico

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Military War Gaming has developed from the chess-like games to the elaborate computer simulations of today, using high-speed, general-purpose, digital computers. This Research Report will briefly review modern war-game developments with emphasis on real-time training systems. The application of system dynamics techniques developed by Jay W. Forrester to war-game modeling is explored. A simple destroyer versus submarine model is developed. Results indicate that the system dynamics modeling technique is a powerful and effective tool. However, the Dynamo language could be substantially improved by a more powerful logical statement capability.
