Readiness should not start when the equipment arrives

By  Morten Ford · Readiness should not start when the equipment arrives New equipment used to arrive on a predictable timeline, with months of lead time to plan training around it. That timeline has collapsed. Systems are increasingly fielded under urgency, and the gap between “delivered” and “operational” is now a gap units cannot always […]

Training for the failures you can never risk for real

By Morten Ford · Training for the failures you can never risk for real You cannot safely short-circuit a live vehicle to see how a crew reacts. You cannot induce a real electronic attack on a live system to see how a crew responds, or wait for a sensor to fail mid-mission just to give […]

A digital generation learns differently

By Nikolaj Have · A digital generation learns differently The next generation of soldiers did not grow up with manuals and classroom lectures. They grew up with games, simulations, and real-time feedback. That shapes how they learn and what they expect from training. When traditional formats lose traction Classroom-based instruction still has its place. But […]

Freeing system capacity with digital training

By Marc Damgaard · Training time vs. system availability: Freeing capacity with digital training Every hour spent training on real equipment is an hour that system isn’t available elsewhere. That trade-off has always existed. But in many contexts, it has become harder to ignore because the demand for available systems keeps growing. When training ties […]

training in fast changing operational environments

By Marc Damgaard · The challenge of training in a fast-changing operational environment For decades, military systems evolved slowly. Equipment was introduced over long intervals, and a weapon or platform could remain largely unchanged throughout a soldier’s career. That is no longer the case. Today, soldiers operate in an environment where systems, software, and capabilities […]
