"The Army has adopted the After Action Review (AAR) process as the means of providing feedback after collective training exercises and the quality of AARs depends upon how well trainers can prepare and use data displays to show what happened during exercises and guide interactive discussions on how to improve unit performance. A previous report described a demonstration of the capability of the Automated Training Analysis and Feedback System (ATAFS) to automatically generate AAR aids after exercises in the networked simulator environment. This report describes the results of a follow-on effort to complete the development of the complete set of planned AAR capabilities and test the prototype ATAFS in a mix of Army National Guard training environments."--DTIC.

"This research and development effort continues the work by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (AM), Armored Forces Research Unit, Future Battlefield Conditions Team. It focuses on the design and development of automated training and performance evaluation techniques. A primary context for these efforts is digital brigade and below training requirements and environments. For this project, AM's objective was to design, develop, and demonstrate 20 prototype automated measures to improve training and evaluation for brigade and below command and staff performance. The prototype automated measures developed were implemented during the Future Combat Command and Control (FCC2) Concept Experimentation Program experiment conducted by the Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab (MMBL) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The AM's purpose for participating in this experiment was to support the MMBL and the Army's need to gain additional information on future staff evaluation requirements in a virtual simulation environment, and gather feedback for improvements to the prototype automated measures developed during this effort."--DTIC.
