“…Training battle staff on TOC digital systems, including CPOF, generally occurs in some combination of an 8 -24-hour familiarization course, a 15 -40-hour operators course, and on the job training (cf. Catrambone et al, 2009;Goodwin, 2006;Sanders, 1999;Schaab & Moses, 2001). Classroom training methods may vary across digital systems but mostly include a combination of instruction, procedural modeling, and practical exercises (see Goodwin et al, 2007;Schaab & Moses).…”

“…Catrambone et al, 2009;Goodwin, 2006;Sanders, 1999;Schaab & Moses, 2001). Classroom training methods may vary across digital systems but mostly include a combination of instruction, procedural modeling, and practical exercises (see Goodwin et al, 2007;Schaab & Moses). Procedural modeling (i.e., trainees watch an expert perform a function or routine and then perform the function themselves) has been shown to be effective in training digital skills (see Davis & Yi, 2004), but the efficacy of this method for training Army digital systems (within the context of classroom training) is in question.…”

“…Another common characteristic of TOC digital-systems training is that there is a significant gap in time between skills training and skills use in an active battle staff assignment. In that retention interval, Soldiers do not have access to systems on which to practice (Goodwin et al, 2007;Schaab & Moses, 2001). Although there are no empirical estimates of the formal retention interval for digital-skills training, the research evidence suggests that there is significant skill-retention loss after as little as four weeks (Goodwin et al; cf.…”

Retention of Digital Skills: Command Post of the Future

The new generation of Army command-post digital systems, e.g., Command Post of the Future (CPOF), increasingly utilizes non-linear interfaces. Non-linear interfaces use a customizable workspace that is based on the user's needs rather than a static data format, and interaction with the interface is not based on prescribed or hierarchical sequences of steps. These characteristics of CPOF as well as the type of training typically received on the system suggested that CPOF skills should be susceptible to retention loss. This paper describes the results of a CPOF-skill retention experiment. Thirty-six Soldiers from CPOF training at two battle command training centers completed a skills test immediately following training and again five weeks after training. Although retention of CPOF skills was fairly robust, differences among the patterns of individual-skill retention were found. In addition, differences were found in CPOF-skill retention across types of skills. The pattern of retention was then used to identify the specific skills and the progression of skills that are critical in developing CPOF expertise. 15.

“…The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) for the Behavioral and Social Sciences [3] evaluated an alternative training method known as constructivism, also described as discovery learning, in a study on digital skills training. The supporters of constructivism claim the method in this study "support[ed] deeper understanding and better transfer of training by integmting the content knowledge and digital system functions as a single training event.…”

Attacks on Department of Defense computer systems are a serious and growing threat. Tbe cornerstone to the protection of these highly valuable networks is education and training. The U. S. Strategic Command is examining a new tool to train and exercise computer security to determine if the complex concepts relating to computer security can be more effectively taught by including simulations in the classroom. The simulation environment under investigation consists of both an Internet Attack Simulator and a Network Simulator. The Internet Attack Simulator has a menu of attacks that can be launched against the Network Simulator's virtual network. The system is essentially an interactive virtual cyber world which requires the student defender to Implement security measures and respond to attacks. Novice computer science students and information technology profeSSionals benefit from the visualization of cyber behavior afforded in the risk free environment that simulation provides. The simulation reinforces the lecture in both concurrent demonstrations ofthe principles being taught, and later, in individual practical exercises.
