Distributed Mission Training (DMT) is a revolutionary team-training paradigm currently evolving at the US Department of Defense, especially in the Air Force. The objective of DMT is to concurrently train people in team efforts involving coordination, communication, and decision making. The teams may not necessarily be collocated and could be engaged in independent as well as coordinated tasks at remote sites. The attached papers are a collection of DMT articles written by personnel of the Air Force Research Laboratory's Warfighter Training Research Division, in Mesa AZ, and published in the September 1999 issue of COMMUNICATIONS of the ACM. Published in COMMUNICATIONS of the ACM, v42 n9 p65-94, Sep 1999.
