In the wake of the failure of the Joint Simulation System (JSIMS), the Department of Defense (DoD) sought improvements to its approach to buying simulations training through a process called the Training Capabilities Analysis of Alternatives (TC AoA). The DoD has decided to move forward with a prototype of one alternative developed as part of this process an innovative business model intended to align the financial incentives of industry participants with positive training and technology development outcomes. Known as Alternative #4 (referred to hereafter as Alt#4), the model proposes to turn what has traditionally been the acquisition of training simulators into a service acquisition (the acquisition of training) with a private sector tool vendor marketplace to support it. RAND was asked by the offices of the Under Secretaries of Defense (OUSD) for Personnel and Readiness (P & R) and Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT & L), and the Joint Staff Operational Plans and Joint Forces Development Directorate (J7), to produce an implementation and evaluation plan for a prototype of this alternative. This report responds to that request. It presents the Alt#4 business model, compares it with other approaches for buying simulations and simulation training, reviews economic theories relevant to the model, and provides a detailed implementation and evaluation plan for a prototype. This report should be of interest to those participating in, or charged with carrying out, the prototype of Alt#4. The analysis should also be interesting to those interested in innovative approaches to training acquisition. Moreover, the success or failure of the approach will be of general interest to the executive and legislative branches and to commercial companies as an evaluated approach to improved acquisition. No special technical expertise is required to understand the material.

Based on a training capabilities analysis of alternatives (TC AoA), a report in July 2004 provided a base line of existing Joint and Service Training M&S programs based on FY05 to FY 09 FYDP and a series of recommendations for enhancing training and training systems. Among the findings, management and oversight more than technology has caused failure of previous joint training simulation efforts. Two core problems were DoD ownership of tools and use of "Cost plus" contracts. Among the recommendations was Acquisition Prototype Option (Alt #4) to provide innovative acquisition for training tools and services. RAND was asked to prepare an implementation and evaluation plan, the result of which was RAND report MG-442-OSD, Implementing and Evaluating an Innovative Approach to Simulation Training Acquisitions, by Christopher Paul, Harry Thie, Elaine Reardon, Deanna Weber Prine, and Laurence Smallman. The briefing concludes discussing the RAND prototype.

Between 2002 and 2004, the Department of Defense (DoD) investigated ways to improve how it acquires simulations and simulation training support. Under one alternative the DoD considered, the department no longer would buy and own simulation materials; instead, it would contract with the private sector for simulation goods and services. RAND found that this alternative rests on sound economic principles and resembles other successful acquisition approaches. RAND recommended that the DoD implement a prototype of this approach and use impartial outside evaluators to gauge its success.

This study seeks to help the Army identify options to improve its future (i.e., circa 2016) training strategies for Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) equipped with Future Combat System (FCS) technologies. Key findings are that live training will need to remain at the core of training programs for FCS units, and that adaptation to changing operational requirements will be a primary training challenge. Overall, the findings indicate that planned training enhancements can provide important improvements across a wide spectrum; however, the overall training capability achieved will likely be less than that needed to meet future training requirements. Unit time, the potential for technological advancement, and training budgets were found to be key constraints. While the study stresses greater emphasis on training manpower support in battle command training as the Army's best chance for significant near-term improvement, it concludes that longer-term improvement will depend on how closely the Army monitors and manages its enhancement programs. The process of shaping and balancing future training enhancements, for example, would benefit from better information and improved evaluative capabilities. These changes would be further enhanced by developing better metrics for the quality, quantity, and adaptability of training, by continuing to improve spiral development processes to evolve training methods and means, and by improving the visibility of financial information across training categories.

Working with allies to build their defense capacity, acquire access to their territories for potential operations, and strengthen relationships with their air forces, is an important U.S. Air Force activity. To determine the value of this activity, the authors outline an assessment framework that planners, strategists, and policymakers can use to see whether Air Force security cooperation activities are achieving the desired effects.

"U.S. Navy surface combatant ship crew training involves a combination of shore-based, onboard pier-side, and underway training. Underway training is expensive, however, and it increases wear and tear on operating equipment. Furthermore, constrained budgets and increasing recapitalization costs have forced the Navy to examine various methods -- such as increased use of simulators -- to reduce the annual operating costs of the fleet. Technological improvements have increased the fidelity and realism of simulators, and simulation is being used more widely for training within the U.S. Navy, in other navies, and in commercial shipping companies. Although the Navy's surface combatant community currently uses simulators in its training regimen, an increased use of simulation could potentially improve training efficiency, sustain training readiness, and reduce underway days. Focusing on the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke class of surface combatants, RAND examines the training requirements of surface forces, determines where credit is granted for the use of simulation, estimates what training is done underway, examines simulation technology, and identifies areas where simulation could be substituted for underway training without any decrease in readiness. The authors find that although most exercises are done underway, many could be done in port with or without the use of simulators. Accordingly, the Navy should consider (1) investing in shore-based engineering simulators, (2) directing that exercises that can be done in port be done in port, and (3) accelerating the upgrades that are slowly providing DDG-51-class ships with an embedded engineering training capability." -- publisher's website.

The importance of logistics in all its variations is still increasing. New technologies emerge, new planning methods and algorithms are developed, only to face a market with a growing complexity and the need of weighting monetary costs against ecological impact. Mastering these challenges requires a scientific viewpoint on logistics, but always with applications in mind. This volume presents up-to-date logistics research in all its diversity and interconnectedness. It grew out of the “International Logistics Science Conference” (ILSC) held in Dortmund in September 2013, bringing together leading scientists and young academics from nine different countries. The conference was jointly organized by the “Efficiency Cluster Logistics” and the “Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics”. The Program Committee used a double blind review process to choose the 12 strongest contributions, which were then grouped in four areas: - Sustainability logistics, including electric mobility, smart information, communication technologies and corporate social responsibility management - Intralogistics, including the detection of autonomous vehicles, 3D computer vision and sensor functions for forklift trucks - Transport logistics, including distribution centre organization, delivery performance in railway systems and logistics reference modelling - Logistics facilities, including environmental impact of container ports, parcel sorting systems and model based systems engineering.
