Historical assessments of combat fratricide reveal principal contributing factors in the effects ... more Historical assessments of combat fratricide reveal principal contributing factors in the effects of stress, continuous operations or sleep deprivation, poor situational awareness, emotions, and lack of training. This paper discusses what and how improvements in combat identification (CID) may be achieved through training. In addition to skill-based training, CID training must focus on countering the negative effects of expectancy in the face of heightened anxiety and stressors of continuous operations that lead to combat errors or fratricide. The paper examines possible approaches to training for overcoming erroneous expectancies and emotional factors that may distort or limit accurate "blue force" identification.

An advanced networked simulation environment can be used to train high-level cognitive air combat skills such as problem solving. A problem in the development of principled and construct oriented assessment is related to determining the level of specificity of the assessment. We present a detailed discussion of the definition of critical competencies associated with combat mission problem solving performance, and we describe our approach to develop and implement an embedded performance assessment system that maps outcomes to these competencies. Finally, we discuss the implications for our approach for comprehensive assessment and discuss our goals for an evaluation of the competency-based approach to assessment.

This includes methods for: (1) Facilitating the acquisition of expertise in mission or organization-critical specializations and (2) Retaining that expertise in the form of both personnel capabilities and organizational knowledge. Achievement of the objective will be made possible through a collaboration of scientists and government specialists in areas of training and expertise studies. Panelists will discuss differing perspectives on the concept of accelerated learning, highlighting prospects, issues, and methodological challenges.

This review draws from the basic and applied literature in order to provide insight for the design of such synthetic environments. Included in this review are articles and books cited in other works, and articles and books obtained from an Internet search. Issues discussed are (a) an overview of immersive decision environments; (b) dual-process decision making; (c) training robust intuitive decision making; (d) combining analytical and intuitive processing in immersive environments; and (e) concluding remarks. For the development of robust decision making in immersive environments, intuitive reasoning should be emphasized by creating an immersive situation and by providing for the development of automatic processing through implicit learning, with the latter reinforced by explicit thought processes. Considerations of the literature on decision making will provide insight for future design solutions for immersive decision environments.

Twenty participants completed a standardized advanced skills fighter-training program that lasted about 10 months for the first class (n=12) and eight months for the second (n=8). Following flight training, the students engaged in non-flying duties (i.e., leave, English training classes). Members of the first class did not resume flying for a minimum of eight months; the second class returned to the simulator or the flight line within three months of completing initial training. Thus, two retention intervals were available for analysis. Analyses of instructor estimates of the students' skill and knowledge retention revealed significantly greater perceived decay among the students in the first class. Furthermore, the students in the second class were perceived to have been better prepared for their sorties than those in the first.
