Training Instrumentation Evaluation (TIE).

The Training Instrumentation Evaluation (TIE) was a tank heavy company team field test designed to provide baseline information on training via tactical engagement simulation in an instrumented environment. The test results are being used as an aid in the planning of a National Training Center (NTC) for armor and mechanized infantry battalions. The United States Army Combat Developments Experimentation Command (CDEC) conducted the test and authored the test report. This paper describes the data reduction/analysis performed on the TIE test data by the Directorate of Combat Operations Analysis, US Army Combined Arms Combat Development Activity. This analysis was limited to providing insights into changes in unit tactical proficiency that occurred when instrumented tactical engagement simulation was used for training; and to verify provisional measures of effectiveness. The data analysis results were provided as input to the TRADOC/FORSCOM NTC development effort. (Author)
