Asymmetric Tactical Training

About the Book

The book first explores the reasons why the US Army should improve training. The new defense strategy, an increase in asymmetric warfare, an emphasis on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, soldier survivability, and changing soldiers’ responsibilities are some of the cited reasons. Next, the book presents a training development process that enhances quality control and quality assurance and provides a standardized process that can be used across all three training domains. The process uses three phase of development, a classification and categorization system, and a very practical set of principles and fundamentals. The book also examines several teaching and learning models that will greatly improve the teaching-learning environment.
