Every event or exercise shares a common element: they are all anchored by a scenario, typically comprising an Operational Environment (OE) complete with threats, road-to-war (RTW) scenarios, and supporting documentation and procedures.
Training serves as a structured process aimed at enhancing the capabilities of individuals or units to execute specific tasks or skills in familiar circumstances. (Department of Defense Instruction 1400.25–V410, AR 350-1).
Training can take the form of either events or exercises.
Events: Training events represent notable training instances that are recognized, scheduled, and incorporated into a unit's training regimen.
Exercises: Training exercises involve military maneuvers or simulated wartime activities carried out by military units to showcase and assess Knowledge Skills Attributes (KSA).
Scenario development entails crafting a comprehensive and lifelike set of circumstances, conditions, and influences, referred to as the operational environment, which Soldiers may confront during a training exercise. The fundamental principles of Scenario Development are as follows:
CREATE: Formulate outcomes that fulfill specified training and readiness objectives.
INTERACT: Collaborate with exercise planners throughout the process.
UNDERSTAND: Grasp the intricacies of operations, intelligence, and decision-making processes.
LEARN: Gain insights into how the training audience will engage with the operational environment.
The Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate (ADDIE) model serves as an instructional design framework employed by numerous training professionals to devise, structure, and optimize impactful learning and development initiatives.
This instructional model mirrors the deliberate five-step approach used in crafting scenarios to bolster training events or exercises.
To deepen your comprehension of training and learning, consult resources such as TC 7-101 Exercise Design and the Joint Event Training Handbook. These serve as valuable guides for exercise planners and scenario developers, aiding in the creation of effective training events for commanders and staff.
