Summary / Abstract (Note) | Field training time in the Australian Army is a precious commodity. It is also unlikely to increase in the near future. Fighting echelon units must examine ways of improving their training yield if they are to improve their combat effectiveness. This paper examines three ways that fighting echelon units can improve their training yield. First, by using regimental training to turn their junior leaders into better collective trainers. Second, by using early evaluation of whole-task training to improve training efficiency. Third, by increasing the objectivity of training evaluation. Cognisant of the resource constraints facing units today, the paper aims to offer pragmatic options that do not simply demand doing more with less. Where options requiring greater effort are detailed, the costs are made clear, but so are the benefits. |
