Abstract : The Army Training Study conducted a comprehensive review of Army training, its research encompassing a wide range of training issues for a broad perspective. The study group developed a conceptual training system, the ARTS Model, to describe what Army training is, ought to be, and should do and to define the objectives of training. It conducted field surveys and other data collection at numerous continental US Army posts and schools. The data obtained was analyzed using the Training Effectiveness Analysis (TEA) in order to determine the state of Army training. It also developed the Battalion Training Model (BTM), a computer-modeled analysis tool used to analyze training resources available and to predict training levels attainable with those resources. The report summary provides an overview of the guidance received by the study group, its observations of Army training and its recommendations for improvement.
