Pros And Cons Of Army Simulations Theory - 1553 Words

Abstract Overview/Summary of Both Articles (naming the Article Titles and Authors) This paper explores four published articles published in relation to the theory presented by Raymond A. Noe in Employee Training Development. All four articles were published online (Internet) and compared to Noe’s text offline (non-Internet). The topics discussed are the pros and cons of Army Simulations and the virtual training environment of today’s soldiers. Three of the four articles confirm Noe’s opinion of the value added (both monetarily, as well as, the ability to train in situations that would not be possible to train for in real life) of virtual simulations (Sims) in the Army training environment. The fourth article, however, shows a flaw with†¦show more content†¦But the cost is much less than the hourly cost of taking helicopters out of service to teach pilots† (Noe, 2017). Below are outside articles that either agree with the overall opinion of Noe, or disagree with certain aspects. According to Raymond A. Noe in Employee Training Development, the world of virtual simulations in the U.S. Army is not only cost efficient, but also a training tool that allows soldiers to â€Å"focus on important safety issues and emergency procedures that are impossible to replicate† (Noe, 2017) in real life events. This theory is repeated by many. David Vergun interviewed Maj. Mike Stinchfield, chief of the Training Innovation Facility, Army National Simulation Center, Army Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for MilGaming Online. In this article, Vergun states, â€Å"Simulators are cost-effective in terms of fuel and maintenance, and they also allow trainers to simulate variables that are dangerous and costly to simulate in real life: weather conditions, difficult terrain and enemy attacks.† (Vergun, 2016). Simulations are used all across the world to train soldiers of all ranks in basic, and advanced, procedures. For example, Virtual Battlespace 3 (VBS3) is used at most military installations in the United States. VBS3 is used primarily to support dismounted patrols and convoy operations; as it is a 3DShow MoreRelatedTheme Of The Disneyland Of Consciousness1720 Words   |  7 Pagesthe Disneyland of Consciousness is the ability for an individual to explore the animatronics image that is aided by certain stories of other people’s experiences in the mechanical man-like machine. Is Consciousness physical? Explain your answer (pro or con). Be sure to substantiate your argument. Yes. Human consciousness is indeed physical based on its awareness of one’s existence.

Accidently, ketamine has already been proven to help with the battle of PTSD. Several years ago, the United States Army had reported that soldiers who received ketamine as an anesthesia for post-war surgery were less likely to develop PTSD. The regularity of PTSD in patients who received ketamine was about 26 percent to the 46 percent of soldiers who did not receiveRead MoreOne Significant Change That Has Occurred in the World Between 1900 and 2005.

The mass military movements and devastation of the Yangtze Valley in the 1850s and 1860s, as well as the roving armies of the 1910s and 1920s, created mass mobility in their own right, not only in terms of the soldiers who were conscripted and then demobilized far from their homes (often draining areas of the young men who might otherwise have been potential migrants)Read MorePortable Manual Cell Phone Charger9744 Words   |  39 Pagesthermoelectric generator for cell phones.
