Book Description
"The US Army relies on the Combat Training Center (CTC) to train Army brigades and battalions in tactical and operational skills. The goal is to generate units who can operate in complex environments and to provide the most realistic training possible for soldiers. This is achieved by focusing on unified land operations and decisive action missions. CTCs are also what drives training throughout the Army and is where new innovations are tested. Throughout a rotation, soldiers could be part of operations that are offense, defense, stability, and defense support of civil authorities type missions. With a limited and finite amount of resources, Army CTCs are tasked with training units to fight in asymmetrical warfare, as well as against near-peer competition. A conventional CTC relies heavily on a set training schedule, so that certain training objectives required for a unit’s overall training goal are met. Battalions and brigades have individual and team level tasks sufficiently trained before arriving to conduct a rotation in a CTC. CTCs currently do not have the ability to train those skills, due to a lack of time and/or resources. Training collective Mission Essential Tasks (MET) for battalion and brigades within a set amount of time and allocated funds is the primary training value of CTCs. Because of time and money constraints, Army CTCs would benefit with the addition and incorporation of Virtual Reality (VR) training. VR would reduce the time and resources needed and afford the opportunity for CTCs to retrain individual tasks and time to time collective tasks before units go to the field. A classroom full of VR systems can provide individualized experiences to soldiers, allowing to proceed at their own pace and retry failed procedures multiple times, which could further benefit units in the field. Additionally, VR training could be further incorporated throughout the unit’s rotation to provide more comprehensive training. In a constrained military resource environment, it is both practical and beneficial to incorporate VR training as part of the Army Combat Training Center (CTC) exercise model."--Preface.

Book Description
The purpose of this study was to gather attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions on the intent to use virtual reality in training environments. Through the lens of behavioral actions that lead to educational technology adoption, this study considered training development decisions and choices that drive whether or not virtual reality is integrated within U.S. Army intelligence training. The contextual significance is an important approach that follows an applied theory method to better understand virtual reality within an identified setting. This case study sought to explore if and how exposure may alter inherent biases not only about virtual reality as a technology but, the use of it in instructional settings rather than perceived as simply an entertainment platform. It also considered organizational influences and perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes about using virtual reality in an intelligence learning environment. There were nine participants in this case study. Data was derived from nine semi-structured interviews which were conducted through individual virtual meetings to consider behavioral intent in using virtual reality. The initial approach was designed around the individual, while a second phase considered facilitating conditions, those institutional elements that support VR use, through the lens of the organization. The goal was to triangulate data between the individual reported experience and the workings of an organization, to include organizational documentation of initiatives, policies, and doctrine. The data was viewed through the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, which provide the top nine "Big Ideas," or root criteria, from which to break down the data within Atlas/ti. A set of sub-codes were derived out of the nine primary codes to better answer the research study questions. This data provided a window into organizational paradigms, processes and procedures in integrating and implementing educational technology institutionally. The results revealed that although the participants were open to using virtual reality within their training development role, they were very cognizant of the limitations and challenges. One of the challenges included a lack of virtual reality training within their role. Another challenge was funding and resources. The most notable limitation identified was a lack of a clear process that supported and scaffolded the change management needed to integrate virtual reality into the organizational structure. The institutional infrastructure, or what can be termed "facilitating conditions," required to result in the use of virtual reality across an Army schoolhouse garrison was reported as lacking. These internal "structures" are identified as doctrine, policies, processes, and training which provide a path toward literacy and readiness, and possible successful adoption of virtual reality as an educational technology.

Book Description
Sci-fi luminary Stanley G. Weinbaum first broke through with the hugely influential story "A Martian Odyssey," one of the first to depict an alien being in a somewhat sympathetic light. Written in 1935, the short tale "Pygmalion's Spectacles" is no less innovative: it centers around the implications of a technology that's surprisingly close to what we now call virtual reality.

Book Description
"The U.S. Army has made a considerable investment in the use of virtual environments (VE) to train combat forces, to evaluate new systems and operational concepts, and to rehearse specific missions. While these simulations have predominately focused on training and simulation for mounted soldiers, there is also a need to train infantry and other dismounted soldiers. Although VEs have the potential to immerse dismounted soldiers directly in simulations, there are few successful examples of the use of VE to provide effective training. The effective use of VE for training requires identification of the types of tasks for which VE training is most appropriate, the characteristics of VE systems that are required to provide effective training, and the training strategies that are most appropriate for use with VE. This report presents recommendations for the use of VE for dismounted soldier training and mission rehearsal, and identifies needed future research. They are based on the results of an ARI in-house research program, related programs for which ARI scientists have participated, and the work of other VE researchers. Recommendations include types of tasks for which training in VE is and is not appropriate, interface design recommendations, and ways to reduce side- and after-effects. "-- Report documentation page.
