Not Available Since the end of the Cold War, the probabilities of Major Regional Conflicts (MRCs) have been greatly reduced and Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW) have risen to a higher priority in claiming Air Force Resources. These changes are having significant impacts on Air Force readiness and training. McDonald Research Associates has developed an innovative reseach approach for developing a solution to the MOOTW impact on readiness. The technical objectives of Phase I are to: - Determine the impact of MOOTW on the ability of Air Force personnel to practive MRC tasks - Determine taining system capabilities that can mitigate these MRC training shortfalls - Propose training systems and technologies to achieve these MRC goals - Determine the differences between MOOTW tasks and their matching MRC tasks - Determine whether MRC training is sufficient to achieve mission success in MOOTW - Determine taining shorfalls that will lead to high risk of MOOTW mission failure - Determine training system capabilities that can mitigate these high risks of MOOTW mission failure - Propose training systems and technologies to achieve these MOOTW goals - Propose the development of innovative MRC and MOOTW training technology in Phase II
