Abstract
Training is a fundamental human activity practiced
by corporations, governments, and the Army. In today’s military,
training management is based on processes developed in WWII.
Training is managed as a collection of similar activities, much
the way it has been done for over 60 years. However, military
training is more than a collection of activities, it is an enterprise
system. This paper uses the emerging field of enterprise
systems engineering (ESE) to develop a model that emphasizes
the systems aspects of the training enterprise, while verifying the
linkage from the strategic and operational goals of the Army to
producing trained soldiers with the necessary skills. ESE includes
the socio-economic-politico-technical context of complex systems
while maintaining the rigor of systems engineering analysis. The
result is a structured framework that highlights the importance
of well-articulated training requirements and linking of those
requirements to the implementation of training through the fundamental
systems activities of systems analysis and training design.
