Operational Assessment of Force XXI Training Products: Lessons for Successful Fielding

Abstract : This report describes the activities and findings of the capstone assessment of the U.S. Army's Force XXI Training Program (FXXITP). The assessment project was titled, "Implementation and Support for the Assessment of Force XXI Training Program (ISAT)," and focused on the utility of selected FXXITP products in supporting brigade yearly training, specifically in preparation for National Training Center rotations. The ISAT project outcomes represent a compilation of implementation methods, assessment data and analyses, lessons, and recommendations. The project confirmed the importance of maintaining the currency of training products, and of providing both education and implementation support to units who will use the products. Additionally, the project highlighted the importance of creating flexible training products that can be tailored to the needs of the user.
