Team and collective training needs analysis: analyzing requirements and specifying training solutions

Military capability is delivered operationally at a team and collective level, be it a unit as small as a squad or section, or as large as a maritime task group.

Modern military forces are required to deal with a potentially wide range of missions frequently involving multiple alliance partners, within a geopolitical environment which can seem to change rapidly.

Individual performance, while being important, is not the primary determinant of mission success - force integration, interoperability, adaptability and teamwork are key factors.

Team and collective training which fully addresses these factors is fundamental to the development and delivery of military capability.

As a consequence, the requirement to determine training requirements and specify effective systems for the delivery of team and collective training is critical to operational success.
