In this paper, we summarize studies that used ANAM tests to assess the effects of environmental stressors. The findings document performance changes resulting from conditions relevant to military operational medicine. These conditions included radiation exposure, toxins, high altitude, undersea conditions, Marine basic training, advanced military training, and fatigue. The results of these stud...

The military is a big user of discrete event simulation models. The use of these models range from training and wargaming their constructive use in important military analyses. In this paper we discuss the uses of military simulation, the issues associated with military simulation to include categorizations of various types of military simulation. We then discuss three particular simulation stu...

This paper describes the development of a decision algorithm for determining what military tasks can be taught virtually (e.g., simulator, advanced distributed learning) and which tasks should only be taught in classroom or field environment (live). The decision algorithm, based on a DoD study, addressed both individual and collective tasks across the military Services. The goal was to develop ...

OBJECTIVE Strenuous physical activity, such as military training, is known to demand a high degree of physical performance and to cause overuse injuries. However, the exact relation between injury incidence and physical fitness level and the influence of military training on measures of functional performance, such as intermittent endurance capacity and maximal jump performance, are not fully d...

Since the beginning of nineteenth century combat simulations are used in military training. It’s necessary to involve lots of military to these trainings occur reliably. In the late 1940s the idea of computational agents was developed in artificial intelligence and showed as an excellent tool to reduce the amount of personnel involved in combat simulations. Agents perceive the environment where...

In June 2006, the Pentagon announced that all US servicemen in Iraq were to undergo additional military ethics training, including lessons in “core warrior values.” Lieutenant General Peter Chiarelli, then commander of the Multinational Corps in Iraq, said that the training would focus on “professional military values and the importance of disciplined, professional conduct in combat.” This high...
