Army Reserve Component Training Technology

This report describes a methodology for examining the application of new technologies for training the Army's reserve components (Reserve and National Guard) and presents a statistical description of the environment for training Reservists and Guardsmen. For that environment, which is characterized principally by a dispersion of many small training target populations and low expected utilization of training equipment, the capabilities and costs of interactive video make such equipment especially well-suited for Army Reserve Component (RC) training. Information that is expected to be useful in further examination of Army RC training is also provided.
