Training Issues in Military and Defense

Abstract

The purpose of this symposium is to provide an in-depth discussion of some of the key training issues in the defense and military fields. The massive scale and diversity of physiological and psychological needs of personnel in these fields render the training challenges in these domains unique from any other. Training in maintenance, in tactics, and in piloting or control of aircraft or ships, present several issues of interest to the human factors community that are discussed in this session. The symposium is comprised of four papers presented by scientists and practitioners with extensive experience in designing training methodologies specific to military and defense. The range of topics discussed in this session include: game-based training techniques for counterinsurgency operations, intelligent tutors for ship handling skills, and techniques for training emotion management and self-development for military personnel. The symposium concludes with a discussion of computer-based language and culture training for deployed troops with particular emphasis on culturally generalizable politeness and etiquette norms.
