"This report describes the third in a series of projects to design and develop the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a system of armored vehicle manned-module simulators and workstations that allows units to train collective armor and infantry tasks at the platoon through battalion task force level. The CITT provides unit commanders and other trainers with comprehensive information on CCTT and on structured training as well as the ability to produce exercise Training Support Packages. Previous projects produced the design for the objective CITT and prototype applications in desktop and web-based formats. The current project produced a fully-fieldable CITT including the embedded CCTT Exercise Initialization Tool. This version was expanded to include stability and support operations capabilities, use of CCTT enhancements, and increased flexibility of file use to allow it to run on any computer with sufficient resources. Near-, mid-, and long-term implementation strategies and fielding plans were developed and are presented along with lessons learned and recommendations for future actions."--DTIC.

This report describes the design of the Commander's Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a system of armored vehicle manned module simulators and workstations that allows units to train collective armor and infantry tasks at the platoon through battalion task force level. CITT will allow commanders and other unit trainers to select, create, or modify structured training exercises for use when the unit trains using the CCTT. Although the project focused on the CITT design, it also included the development and refinement of a CITT prototype in standalone and distributed in tern et accessible versions. Additionally, the project included the development of an information overview presented in the form of videotapes and included in the CITT prototype, and the development of an implementation strategy and fielding plan. This report describes the activities involved in the development of the listed products along with the lessons learned during project completion.

This research note details the recommended design of the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) application. The CITT is designed to provide commanders and training developers with ready access to information concerning the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), existing CCTT training support packages (TSPs), and guidance and tools for modifying and developing CCTT TSPs. This research note includes numerous Integrated Computer Aided Manufacturing Definition or IDEF/phi diagrams and their derivatives. These documents can be used by software programmers in the development of the objective CITT. The documentation is fully supportive of the Army Training Information Management Program (ATIMP) Systems requirements as delineated by the Department of Defense Enterprise Model and was completed in accordance with industry accepted modeling procedures and standards. The purpose of this model is to identify and organize information that supports the development of a comprehensive application that provides for the creation, archiving, and retrieval of TSPs. It provides all required documentation for the development of an application that details the framework and all necessary tools for the creation and modification of TSPs for use in CCTT. This includes data on the structured training process and the exercise development process, all of which are key features of the CITT.

This report describes the continued design and prototype development of the Commanders' Integrated Training Tool (CITT) for the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT), a system of armored vehicle manned-module simulators and workstations that allows units to train collective armor and infantry tasks at the platoon through battalion task force level. This project was a follow-on to the initial Cull project completed in January, 1999 which produced the design and a prototype software application and Web Site to provide unit commanders and other unit trainers with comprehensive information on CCTT and on structured training along with the ability to produce exercise Training Support Packages. The current project expanded the Cull design and prototype to include additional terrain databases, information and exercises for Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) units, and the integration of CITT with CCTT Exercise Initialization Tool (CEIT). Near-, mid-, and long-term implementation strategies and fielding plans were developed and are presented along with lessons learned and recommendations for future actions.
