As a result, the Army devotes considerable effort and resources to weapon training. The Army's current challenge is to adapt weapon training strategies to meet complex operational environments and changing unit readiness processes; take full advantage of training technologies; and, in an era of declining defense budgets, make weapon training strategies more efficient. This report documents the findings, conclusions, and implications of a two-year project supporting the Army's efforts to adapt its weapon training strategies and the processes through which they are developed. The potential of emerging technologies to make weapon training strategies more effective and efficient is also examined. The report outlines directions the Army could take to improve its weapon training strategies and the processes for adapting them. It concludes that improving the processes for adapting weapon training to new requirements can make them more effective and efficient, but that improvements should be made in the context of holistically improving the Army's training and leader development programs. In addition, while there are many potential benefits to increasing the use of technologies in weapon training strategies, there are many factors that act to limit the amount of improvement that must be considered before deciding on implementation."--"Abstract" on web page. 606 $aSoldiers$xTraining of$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary education$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary weapons$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary Science - General$2HILCC 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aSoldiers$xTraining of 615 0$aMilitary education 615 0$aMilitary weapons 615 7$aMilitary Science - General 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 676 $a355.50973 700 $aCrowley$b James C$0846322 702 $aSollinger$b Jerry M 702 $aHallmark$b Bryan W 702 $aHallmark$b Bryan W 702 $aShanley$b Michael G 702 $aShanley$b Michael G 712 02$aUnited States 712 02$aArroyo Center 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219972603321 996 $aChanging the Army's weapon training strategies to meet operational requirements more efficiently and effectively$91890735 997 $aUNINA
