-. This project investigates and develops a training scheduling method for applicationduring the materiel acquisition process. The method developed is a four-step process inwhich the analyst employs and interacts with an automated model of the training processto develop and refine alternative training schedules to ultimately arrive at an optimaltraining schedule within a given set of resource constraints. The four steps are(1) training requirements identification, (2) model development, (3) model application,and (4) analysis and comparison of training schedule alternatives. The result is aviable training schedule or set of alternative schedules for introducing a new weaponsystem into the Army force structure. The project develops prototypes for the methodby devising a schedule for initial unit training on receipt of new LHX equipment (notsustainment training) and develops a displaced equipment training (DET) program for unitsreceiving the AH-lS and OH-58 aircraft displaced by the LHX.

19. ABSTRACT (Ovntinued)

icommences in November 1995 with the initial production of the LHX helicopterand continues through January 2005. The schedule plans training for 185active and reserve component units, with the active duty units requiring anaverage unit training time of 17.57 weeks and the reserve component unitsrequiring an average training time of 89 weeks. The DET program is a 10-week program that enables a National Guard unit to complete DET withoutany additional active duty training time but is flexible enough to useactive duty time when and if it is made available.

METHODS FOR PLANNING UNIT AND DISPLACED EQUIPMENT TRAINING

AS APPLIED TO THE LIGHT HELICOPTER FAMILY (LHX)

Introduction

During the concept development and evaluation phase,estimating training requirements in detail is complicated by thesimultaneous introduction of new and emerging technologies intoan as yet hypothetical system. These new technologies areapplicable not only to the system itself but also to itstraining delivery and support systems. The effort to obtainmaximum benefit from the latest technology requires theintroduction of many other variables into the total militaryenvironment. These include introduction of new individualskills, elimination of old skills, consolidation of militaryoccupational specialties, adjustments to the force structure, andadjustments to doctrine. Furthermore, these all must bedescribed in such a way as to leave maximum flexibility for thecontractors but enable the government to evaluate theeffectiveness and efficiency of the contractor's proposal.

In light of the above, the solution to the problem must notonly make a reasonable estimate of the training requirements onthe basis of current information, the solution must also includethe ability to identify the relative sensitivity of the variouselements of the training system to changes in the entire newsystem as well as the ability to readily update the trainingestimates and plans as new information becomes available and asdecisions relating to the new system and its acquisition aremade. A top down approach is the preferred method because itmatures as information becomes available, thereby requiringadjustment only to a specific area affected as opposed to a totalrework of a data base or set of plans.

Purpose

The current research effort represents one segment of acomprehensive research program designed by the U.S. Army ResearchInstitute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) to meetthe MANPRINT (Manpower and Personnel Integration) challenge. Itspurpose is to investigate and develop methods and models tofacilitate anO enhance training planning during the acquisitionof new weapor systems. In keeping with the ARI philosophy ofconducting MANPRINT research which provides immediate benefits tothe Army, the effort focuses on the training aspects of theLight Helicopter Family (LHX) acquisition program. The LHXprogram serves as the frame of reference for acquisitionprocedures, milestones, and timing of events. Additionally, theprototyping of the methods and models contributes to thedevelopment of the LHX program. Therefore, the second purpose ofthe research effort is to contribute to training planning forthe LHX.

scope

This effort will investigate two aspects of training thatemerge during the proof of concept phase of a weapon system'sacquisition. They are the training resource requirementsassociated with (1) the unit trainingI of organizations to beequipped with the new system and, (2) the individualqualification training for units which will receive the equipmentthat is displaced by the new acquisition. For the purposes ofprototyping, the method developed during the investigation is tobe applied to the LHX program to devise a fielding schedule thatadheres to the proposed procurement schedule and distributionplan and is operationally effective. The schedule will sequenceunits into a unit training program that is devised to optimizethe overall unit training time and resource requirement.Further, the method is to be applied to individual qualificationtraining for personnel assigned to units that will receive theOH-58 and AH-1S helicopters displaced by the LHX.

The specific objectives of this research effort are to: (1)translate the approved LHX Distribution Plan into a phased unittraining schedule which will result in the most cost effectiveand resource efficient method of fielding LHX units in the Activeand Reserve Components; and (2) develop an individualqualification training schedule for equipment displaced to theReserve Components which will result in the most cost effectiveand resource efficient method of fielding that displacedequipment to the Reserve Component units.

Inherent in these objectives is the development of a methodand models which may bt used to refine and expand these trainingschedules as more definitive information becomes available. Thedesired characteristics of the method and models to be developedare a top down approach to enable effective training planningbefore detailed system data are available, flexibility to acceptchanges and refinements as the system matures and data becomemore specific; and simple and relatively fast operation so as toenable the exploration of training alternatives without the needfor consensus among the acquisition community, thus preventingthe premature foreclosure of options.

Although the method and models are intended to have genericapplication to other weapon systems, this effort excludesindividual institutional training for the new weapon systemexcept as the institutional training can be identified to be

competing for the same or similar resources as unit training.Also this effort is not a job or task analysis as contemplated bythe Systems Approach to Training. The information necessary forsuch detailed and specific analysis is not available at thisearly stage of development. However, it is envisioned andintended that once those analyses are completed, the results canbe incorporated into the training system to optimize resourceutilization.

ReDort Organization

This report is presented in four sections and 3 appendices.The first section, entitled Introduction, presents an overview ofthe problem and the research conducted. The second section,entitled Method, contains an explanation of the method used toperform the research. A further description of the methoddeveloped is provided in third section, Application to the LHX.The last section, entitled Findings and Conclusions, presents theresults and conclusions of the study to include a discussion oftheir impact on developing systems.

Method

The purpose and objectives of this effort were discussed inthe Introduction. The method developed to achieve them consistsof four major steps.

1. Identification of Training Requirements2. Model Development3. Model Application4. Analysis and Comparison of Training Schedule

Alternatives

Step 1 is the determination of training requirements whichincludes identifying the target audience scheduled to receivethe developing system, determining the training required andestimating the resources needed. Step 2 is a model developmentstage in which the relationships between the training required,resources required, and an effectiveness measure are defined. InStep 3, training schedule alternatives are identified by varyingparameters such as location, and pre-positioning TOE (Table ofOrganization and Equipment) equipment, and by combining selectedtraining components. The model is then applied to alternativesdeveloped to investigate the relative sensitivities of thevarious elements of the alternatives such as resource demands,start times, and areas of training. This process is reiterateduntil the desired program effectiveness is achieved within thestipulated resource constraints or until the opportunities forimproving each alternative are exhausted. The last step is theanalysis of the model outputs in terms of program effectivenessand resource efficiency. The result is a viable trainingschedule or set of alternative schedules for transitioning a new

weapon syztem into the Army force structure. As the developmentprocess continues and information becomes more precise, theprocess may and should be employed to update the results.

Identification )f Trainina Reauirements

The first step of the method identifies the types oforganizatl-ins scheduled to receive the new system and thesystem's predecessors. An investigation is then made of thecomparability of existing systems and the emerging system. Whereappropriate, existing training concepts and plans are adjusted toaccommodate the new system and to incorporate advances intraining technology. If the introduction of entirely newtechnology demands it, original training concepts are alsoformulated. The concepts are then grouped according to commoncharacteristics and merged into a single cohesive outline of thetraining required for the new system. Training resourceestimates are then developed in a similar way, retaining theapplicable requirements from the predecessor systems andadjusting as necessary to implement the updated training outline.The result includes the collective tasks inherent in the unit'smission and the training resources required to perform oneiteration of each task. Successful accomplishment of this phaseentails detailed research into training literature for currentsystems to include Army Training and Evaluation Programs(ARTEPs), soldier training publications, and mission and functionstatements as well as a diligent investigation of therequirements for, and characteristics of the emerging system.Included in the latter are the entire body of studies, plans andreports required by the acquisition system and current literatureon the technologies being applied.

Model Development

The second step of the method is to model the cumulativerelationships of training resources to training requirements andto develop an algorithm to determine the most program-effectiveand resource efficient method of transitioning units receivingthe new weapon system.

Modeling Objectives. The primary objective of the model isto measure the relative effectiveness of training schedulealternatives. Specifically, the model demonstrates therelationships between training requirements and trainingresources. As part of the process, the model is calibrated tothe training outlines developed in Step 1. The calibrationprocess is accomplished by identifying the resources and rates ofconsumption required to support one iteration of the trainingoutline. In turn, it expands the outline to include provisionsto complete training for the entire transition program. Theresult is an initial training schedule to be used as a baselinecase. In order to facilitate later comparisons of alternatives,the baseline case is intentionally simplistic and avoids complexsequencing or combinations of resources.

The baseline case also serves as a departure point for thedevelopment of training schedule alternatives. The alternativesare arrived at by varying the sequence, combinations ofresources, and location of training in more complex ways thatappear to present opportunities to enhance effectiveness orreduce resource requirements. The model functions as a computersupported data filing, manipulation, and aggregation system thatcan be used to evaluate the alternatives.

Model Structure. The basic modeling scheme is a variant ofan input-output (Leontief) structure. An input-output structurewas chosen because it permitted rapid fidelity in the treatmentof resource requirements and was sensitive to differences intraining schedule alternatives. Leontief structures typicallyallow for electronic case filing to foster reproducibility andrapid modular correction and update capability. Due to thetentative nature of the problem, it was necessary to employ astructure that allows for easy modification and maturation asadditional information about the developing system is obtained.

Other features of an input-output structure include: theability to deal with constraints easily, the ability to developfeasible alternatives, and the ability to identify the keydrivers and limiting constraints of different alternatives.Input-output models also provide the ability to present trade-offs graphically among and within the various alternatives.

An input-output model can represent causal relationshipsbetween the training resources needed by the system and thesystem's consumers. In the model developed, the trainingrequired, the training resources required and the rate at whichtraining resources are consumed, are inputs to the model for eachtraining requirement. The model then aggregates this informationfor multiple resources, organizations, and training requirementsand establishes the resources required for an organization toaccomplish training in a given time frame.

The physical structure of the model has essentially fourdimensions that are depicted in two, three-dimensional elements.The dimensions represent the different training components orsectors of the training system. The specific componentsrepresented in the model are training resources, trainingrequirements, type of resource consumption, and time. The firstelement illustrated in Figure 1, consist of two arrays which filethe training requirements and rates of resource consumption. Thearray is stored in such a way that the information can bemanipulated and aggregated with respect to time in the secondelement of the model. The second element, illustrated in Figure2, is also stored in an array and converts the trainingrequirements, resource requirements, and the rate of consumptioninto a schedule of training required for each organization incalendar time periods. Each cube formed by the intersection ofthe planes contains the coefficient representin~g resourceconsumption in unit weeks for each organization. The aggregation

provides the total amount of resources required for a certainperiod of time or during a specified time interval. A furtherdetailed discussion of the model, including an example ispresented in Application to the LHX section.

Model ARDlication

The third step of the method involves the development ofalternatives and applying the model developed in second step tothose alternatives.

Previously there was not an algorithm available thatprovided the ability to analyze training schedule alternatives.The algorithm developed is an iterative process of selectingapparent alternatives and then refining those alternatives forimproved efficiency. Alternatives are derived from the baselinecase discussed by varying the major parameters such as location,sequence, or adding or deleting resources or requirements.Alternatives constitute separate and distinct training outlines.Parameters are varied within alternatives to assess thesensitivity of the training requirements and to maximize theirefficiency and effectiveness. The modifications may includevariations in start dates for individual units, trade-offsbetween training resources and changes in constraints.

For each of the alternatives, a comparison is made acrossorganizations to be trained to determine the critical resourcesdemanded. Critical resources are those resources that aredetermined to be necessary to maintain system operability atestablished levels. They are based upon subjectiveconsiderations to include considerations of cost, real worldavailability and substitutability. Any conflicts in demand forresources and any resources for which substitution is feasibleare identified at this point. An example of conflictingresources is two or more units requiring use of a gunnery rangeat the same time. An example of a substitutable resource is theuse of an aircraft simulator for actual flying hours. Once thecritical and conflicting resources are identified, eachalternative is refined to deconflict the resources and stillaccomplish the training required on an acceptable timetable. Theprocess of resource deconfliction is reiterated until allresources have been deconflicted or until no more deconflictionscan be made without violating the developing system'sconstraints.

Analysis and Comparison of Training Schedule Alternatives

The fourth step of the method consists of analyzing themodel outputs for each alternative to determine the feasibilityof each alternative as a viable training schedule. Theevaluation of alternatives entails consideration of thecombination of resource efficiency and program effectiveness.

8

Page 16: Light Helicopter Family (LHX) · Light Helicopter Family (LHX) ... policy, or decision, unless so ... and models which may bt used to refine and expand these training

Resource efficiency may be either a subjective evaluation ofthe total distribution and amount of resources required or ifsufficient detailed information exists, it may entail expressingeach resource in common terms such as dollars or manhours.

Program effectiveness is measured in terms of the averagetime required to train a single unit, the total time required tocomplete the entire program, and the maximum number of unitstrained at any one time. It is essential to consider thecombined effect of all three measures. An apparent improvementin one measure can be to the detriment of the overall program.For example, it is conceivable that an alternative reducing thetraining time would involve a sequencing that would delay theentry of units into the program causing a delay in programcompletion and thus rendering the alternative less effective. Analternative could reduce training time and speed up completion ofthe program but in doing so might require an unacceptable numberof units which may adversely impact the effectiveness of thealternative.

The next section provides a detailed description of theapplication of these measures when evaluating training schedulealternatives for a developing system, namely the LHX.

Application to the LHX

Application of the method previously described to the LHXwas done concurrently with and was an integral part of thedevelopment of the training scheduling model. The nature of theproject was such that at times the information available drovethe architecture of the model and at other stages the demands ofthe model established the requirement for specific elements ofdata. There were two distinct applications attempted. The firstdeveloped an optimal unit training schedule for the LHX thatadheres to the proposed procurement schedule and distributionplan. Subsequently, the method was applied to investigate theindividual qualification training required to staff reserveunits scheduled to receive the OH-58 and AH-1S helicoptersdisplaced by the LHX. The LHX program lends itself well to theprototyping role because it is sufficiently complex to exercisethe method fully. That is, the LHX is a technologicallysophisticated emerging weapon system subjected to a streamlinedacquisition process and is incorporating the MANPRINT initiativein its development. Applying the method to the LHX requirescompleting the following four steps as discussed in Methodsection.

Aoglication To Unit Trainina

The primary driver of the model development and applicationsteps of the method was the investigation of trainingrequirements of units scheduled to receive the LHX. Unitsreceiving the LHX are good candidates for top down demonstrationsince the LHX program is still under development and unittraining requirements for the system have yet to be defined andare dependent upon the technology incorporated into the system.The top down approach employed to develop the model is consistentwith the lack of detailed definition for the system's trainingrequirements. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity tointegrate a higher level of detail as more information regardingthe LHX becomes available.

Identification of LHX Trainina ReMuirements

To estimate the unit training needed accurately for allunits receiving LHX aircraft required the identification of thenumbers of unit types receiving the system. From an examinationof the Draft LHX Distribution Plan (U.S. Army, 1986), it wasdetermined that 54 attack, 53 utility, 62 reconnaissance, and 16medevac units were scheduled to receive LHX aircraft. Appendix Acontains tables displaying the unit types for all LHX units, theassociated parent units, the areas where units are to be deployedand the sequence in which they are scheduled to receive theaircraft. To avoid the need for a security classification, itwas necessary to develop training schedules in accordance withthe procurement schedule without reference to specific individualunits or areas of location.

After consolidating the data in the LHX Distribution Plan,an investigation was made of the comparability of the predecessorsystems to the LHX. In the case of the LHX, the predecessorsystems examined were the AH-1S, OH-58, UH-60, UH-1, and the AH-64. These systems were selected for the comparability analysesin order to represent the spectrum of missions to be performedand to approximate the level of technology of the LHX mostclosely. Although the AH-64 (Apache) and UH-60 (Blackhawk) arenot light helicopters and will not be displaced by the LHX,training references were reviewed for the Apache and Blackhawkaircraft because they are the most technologically advanced incomparison to the LEX. From the review of predecessor systemtraining documents, the unit training requirements for eachsystem were determined and compared to the general trainingrequirements of the LHX. Specifically the question was asked, dothe missions still exist and does the application of advancedtechnology change the inherent tasks or methods of training forthose missions? Therefore, LHX documents including theIndividual and Collective Training Plan for the LHX (U.S. ArmyAviation Systems Command (USAAVSCOM], 1985), Annex F to theRequired Operational Capabilities (ROC) for the LHX (U.S. ArmyAviation Center, 1985), and the LHX Full Scale DevelopmentRequest for Proposal (USAAVSCOM, 1986) were examined to

10

Page 18: Light Helicopter Family (LHX) · Light Helicopter Family (LHX) ... policy, or decision, unless so ... and models which may bt used to refine and expand these training

determine training differences between the LHX and predecessorsystems. The examination of LHX documentation provided for theincorporation of new training concepts brought about by advancesin training technology. Although many of the skills, knowledges,and individual tasks will change, there is no indication thatthere will be any significant changes in the collective trainingtasks for the LHX. For example, the automated cockpit willchange gunnery tasks but primarily from an individual as opposedto a collective training perspective.

The training requirements for each type of LHX unit weregrouped into training outlines that specify the training requiredfor a particular type unit to achieve full mission capability.The investigation indicated a high correlation between LHX andAH-64 unit training. Therefore, the AH-64 unit training phaseswere perpetuated. They are the following:

Phase I - Individual and Crew TrainingPhase II - Company and Unit TrainingPhase III - Gunnery TrainingPhase IV - Battalion TrainingPhase V - ARTEP

Although the aircrew qualification course (AQC2 ) is notconsidered collective training, it was considered throughout theeffort for its resource impact on other phases of unit training.Based upon information in the AH-64 Unit Training Plan, it wasestimated that the five phases of unit training and AQC for theLHX, would be accomplished in a 20 week time frame. Figure 3 isa timeline displaying the training outline for a typical LHXequipped unit. For the purposes of this analysis, a unit is acompany-sized organization. It is important to note thatalthough all LHX unit training can be catalogued into one of thefive phases, there are some units that do not undergo training ineach of these phases. For example, most of LHX utility units donot perform battalion level training. Also there are two TDA(Table of Distribution and Allowances) units scheduled to receiveLHX utility aircraft and these organizations only performindividual AQC.

Training resource estimates were established in much thesame way by re-examining the requirements for the predecessoraircraft systems for applicable resources and adding resourcesspecific to the LHX. They were then combined into packages sizedto implement a single iteration of each of the training outlines.Resources specific to the LHX include the tactical team trainer,the Integrated LHX Training System, and the Dummy Stinger.

2AQC, as used throughout this report, refers to individualtraining which both officer and enlisted personnel receive tobecome MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) or ASI (AdditionalSkill Identifier) qualified on the new equipment.

Table 1 illustrates the resource packages identified foreach of the different LHX missions. A total of 19 resourcepackages were identified for LHX units performing attackmissions. A total of 20 resource packages were identified forthe units performing utility missions. An examination ofpredecessor system documents revealed that training for unitsperforming reconnaissance missions requires the same resources astraining for units performing attack missions. The same is truefor utility and medevac units. Therefore, throughout the rest ofthis discussion, the training outlines for attack and utilityunits apply to reconnaissance and medevac units respectively.

Model Development

An objective of the model's application to the LHX trainingsystem was to develop an effective and resource efficientschedule for conducting unit training of the LHX. To that end,the training outlines developed previously were expanded toinclude the resources and rates of consumption necessary tosupport the training required in the outlines. The modelconverts the outlines and resources to a file containing totaltraining required by week for the entire program. Theaggregation of training outlines into a single proposed trainingschedule represents the baseline case from which alternativeswere developed.

An example of the model applied to a simple case in whichonly one resource is considered for three units is describedbelow. In this case, the resource under consideration is"maneuver area." Figures 4 through 6 present the number ofmaneuver areas needed for each phase of unit training for threedifferent units respectively. In this case, unit 001 and 003require one maneuver area for each phase of training, exceptgunnery. Unit 002 is a utility unit and requires maneuver areasfor all phases except the gunnery phase and battalion phase oftraining.

The three units are then combined as shown in Table 2 toillustrate the amount of maneuver areas needed for each week ofthe training cycle during each of the training phase, Thescheduling of units begins at the first full week after theaircraft is delivered to the unit. Table 2 can be displayed inFigure 7 where each bar represents a unit's requirement formaneuver areas throughout the training cycle. Figure 7illustrates the possible conflicts where multiple units competefor the same resource. In this example, the start time of unit003 in Figure 7 can be shifted eight weeks to the right in orderto reduce the conflict of maneuver areas between unit 001 andunit 003. This example can be expanded to include all unitsreceiving the LHX and to include all resource packages necessaryto complete one iteration of the training cycle.

The baseline case demonstrates the relationships between thetraining required and the training resources needed to transitionLHX units. In keeping with the objective of developing abaseline case that is simplistic and avoids complex sequencing oftraining events, the baseline case used for the LHX is one inwhich all units perform all unit training with the exception ofgunnery (Phase III) at their home stations with TOE equipment.Gunnery training requires ranges and firing areas which are notusually available at each unit's home station. Although AQC isnot considered collective training, it was considered throughoutthe effort for its resource impact on other phases of unittraining.

Figure 8 displays the baseline case for the fielding of theLX in fiscal year (FY) 2000. FY 2000 was chosen as the slice tobe investigated since it is the year in which the greatest amountof LHX aircraft will be fielded and thus will present the mostdifficulty when planning unit training. The schedule displayedin Figure 8 is based upon the LHX Distribution Plan. Units werescheduled to begin individual and crew training (Phase I) at theearliest possible start time (i.e., upon receipt of equipment).From that point a period of 10 weeks was added preceding Phase Itraining for AQC3 . This 10 week period allows two weeks fortravel time to and from AQC. Examining Figure 8, it can be seenthat unit training for the LHX in FY 2000 will be accomplished in58 weeks with an average unit training time of 24 weeks.

The next step in the model development process for the LHXwas to identify the critical resources to be examined for thebaseline case and throughout the analysis of each alternative.The critical resources were identified based upon the subjectiveconsideration of cost, real world availability, and impact ontraining. The following is a list of the critical resources forLHX unit training in order of descending importance.

Administrative timeFlying hoursAerial gunnery rangeManeuver areaOPPORExternal aircraftExternal TOE equipmentTactics Team TrainerDoor gunnery range

In the initial application of the baseline case, there is aconflict within 10 SCAT units since Christmas falls within weeks10 and 15. Historically, the U.S. Army Training and DoctrineCommand (TRADOC) has not conducted training over the Christmasholidays nor is it operationally practical to conduct trainingduring this time. Therefore, the baseline case was modified toallow for a two week administrative period for those unitsscheduled for training during the holidays. This rationale canalso be applied to the utility units since the holidays affectseven utility units. Figure 9 illustrates this refinement in thebaseline case for both SCAT and utility units.

When allowing for a break in training for the holidays, 15SCAT units are affected. More than 50% of the SCAT unitscomplete training in 37.9 weeks and the average unit trainingtime increases from 24 weeks to 24.8 weeks. Eleven utility unitsare affected by the two week break during the holidays. Morethan 50% of the utility units complete training in 28.7 weeks andthe average unit training time is 17.2 weeks.

Figure 9. Training schedule for baseline case with refinementfor Christmas holidays.

From an examination of Figure 9, it can be seen that afterallowing for a break in training over Christmas, there remains alarge number of units attending AQC4 at one time. Specifically,there are 17 units scheduled to be attending AQC at week 22 which

would require a 40% improvement in the student to aircraft ratioover the current student to aircraft ratio for the AH-ISaircraft. Such an improvement is not likely. Therefore, thebaseline case was refined again as shown in Figure 10, to reducethe number of units attending AQC5 at any one time.

The other nine critical resources were examined for thebaseline case. Figures 11 through 21 illustrate the distributionof each of the critical resources required throughout thetraining cycle for the baseline case. However, upon examination,no substantial conflicts were identified that could bedeconflicted in such a way as to reduce training burdens andmaintain a reasonable unit training time. This finding is inkeeping with the definition of the baseline case of simplicityand maximum independence among training requirements.

Model APglication

After refinement and calibration of the model for thebaseline case, three unit training schedule alternatives weredeveloped for each type of LHX unit. They were derived from thebaseline case by varying the location of training from homestations to area training centers, pre-positioning equipment,eliminating training Phases I and III, and combinations of thesealternatives. Appendix B presents training schedules, unittraining times and critical resource distribution graphs of thebaseline case and each alternative.

Sensitivity analyses were performed on each of the threealternatives and the baseline case in an attempt to deconflictcritical training resources and to provide unit training to thelargest number of units in the smallest amount of time. Theseanalyses were done for the LHX by varying unit start times fortraining, and varying administration time within a trainingcycle. This process of resource deconfliction and reduction wasrepeated for each of the three alternatives.

Alternative 1. Alternative 1 was derived from the baselinecase by eliminating Phases I and III from the unit trainingschedule. In this excursion, an examination was made of theresource and training time impact when individual and crew, andgunnery training was conducting during AQC. Figure 22illustrates this alternative before any deconfliction analyseshave been performed. In this case, the average unit trainingtime is 17.6 weeks with more than 50% of all units completingtraining by week 32 of FY 2000. Upon examination of the ninecritical resources required throughout the training cycle forthis alternative, it was determined that in week 23, 20 aerialgunnery ranges are required. This is not surprising since therewill be 20 units undergoing AQC6 at this time.

From an examination of Figure 22, it was noticed that onlyseven units are attending AQC during week 24. These seven unitsalso contribute to the gunnery conflict in week 23. Thus thescheduled start times of the units with aerial gunnery rangeconflicts were shifted, as illustrated in Figure 23, so thatthere would be a more uniform number of units attending AQC

7

during this time frame, thus reducing the number of aerialgunnery ranges required in week 23 to 14.

The remaining critical resources were examined foradditional conflicts. However, it was determined that there wereno substantial conflicts in critical resources demanded thatcould be reduced without a large increase in unit training time.Comparing the alternative before and after resource

Alternative 2. The second alternative is one in which alltraining is conducted at one central training location withphases I and III subsumed in AQC8 . From an examination ofAlternative 1, it was determined that the resource consumptionand effectiveness degradation was of sufficient magnitude toconvince the research team that in no case would training beeffective or efficient unless Phases I and III were subsumed inAQC. Thus, the remaining alternatives developed assume thatindividual and crew and gunnery training will be performed duringAQC. Figure 24 illustrates the scheduling of units for thisalternative before any deconfliction analyses are performed. Inthis case, the average unit training time is 17.7 weeks and thetime required for 50% of the units to complete training is 31.3weeks. Upon examining the distribution of the nine criticalresources, it was determined that in weeks 4-7, there was arequirement for 16 aerial gunnery ranges whereas a maximum of 12ranges is required during the remaining weeks. Additionally, itwas determined that in weeks 14-18, a total of 13 maneuver areasare required whereas most training requiring maneuver areasrequires less than 10 maneuver areas at any one time.

In an attempt to balance better the number of maneuver areasand aerial gunnery ranges required, it was noticed that therequirement for aerial gunnery ranges only occurred when unitswere undergoing AQC and that the requirement for maneuver areasoccurred when units were undergoing company, battalion, or ARTEPtraining. Thus when deconfliction analyses were performed byrescheduling the number of units undergoing AQC and therebyreducing the number of aerial gunnery ranges required, the numberof units performing company level, battalion level, or ARTEPtraining increased. The increase in the number of unitsundergoing company, battalion, or ARTEP training also increasedthe number of maneuver areas required. Likewise, attempting toreduce the amount of maneuver areas required by reschedulingunits to balance better the number of units performing company,battalion, or ARTEP training at one time resulted in an increasein the number of units undergoing AQC. Thus a balance betweenthe two was required as shown in Figure 25. When deconflictingfor aerial gunnery ranges and maneuver areas, the average unittraining time is decreased to 17.6 weeks and the time requiredfor 50% of the units to complete training is increased to 32.4weeks. However, the trade-off of time to numbcr of units trainedprovided a reduction of two maneuver areas and two aerial gunneryranges required at any one time.

Alternative 3. The third possible alternative to conductunit training was to conduct all training with the exception ofAQC at area training centers. Before any deconfliction analyseswere performed, Alternative 3 is identical to Alternative 1because the resources required are the same for each unit as whenthey are conducting training at their home stations.

critical resources were then examined and the alternative wasrefined to reduce the number of units requiring aerial gunneryranges during week 22 as was discussed in Alternative 1. Afterrefining the schedule to deconflict any of the criticalresources, Alternative 3, as shown in Figure 26, remainsidentical to Alternative 1.

The only resource that may be affected when training at areatraining centers is "garrison facilities" since in Alternative 3,units would be training away from home station throughout thetraining cycle. Figure 27 illustrates the amount garrisonfacilities required throughout the training cycle for thisalternative. Upon examination, it can be seen that in week 32,there is a requirement for 21 garrison facilities, whereas inAlternative 1, only a maximum of 14 garrison facilities arerequired (Figure 28). However since this alternative has alreadybeen deconflicted in Alternative 1 to the maximum extent possiblewithout a large increase in training time, it is not possible toreduce the number of garrison facilities required to train unitsat area training centers without increasing the training time.Therefore, there is no difference in Alternative 1 andAlternative 3 in the average unit training time or in the time ittakes to complete training.

Analysis and Comparison of Training Schedule Alternatives

The model applications were examined by the research team todetermine the most feasible scheduling alternative in terms oftotal number of units trained and resource requirements forfielding the LHX. The alternative selected achieves the desiredobjective to schedule unit training in the most effective mannerand remains within the resource constraints established by thesystem.

When comparing the baseline case and the three alternatives,it can be seen that unit training for the LHX in FY 2000 would beaccomplished between week 53 and week 58 where the baseline caserequires the longest time (58 weeks) to accomplish training.Alternative 1 requires the least number of weeks to achieve unitmission capability for all units undergoing training in thatyear. The average unit training time for the baseline case andeach alternative is summarized below.

Upon examination, it can be seen that there is no realdifference between the three alternatives in terms of averageunit training time. Additionally, the time required for 50% ofthe units to complete training varied only by .2 weeks between

the three alternatives. The time required for 50% of the unitsto complete training did vary significantly between the threealternatives and the baseline case. The time required for 50%of the units to complete training was determined to be 35.4 weeksfor the baseline case whereas the time required for 50% of theunits to complete training for the alternatives ranged from 32.2to 32.4 weeks.

After examining the critical resources required for eachalternative and the baseline case, it was determined that theresource requirements did not vary significantly between thetraining possibilities except in the case of aerial gunneryranges, and maneuver areas.

In the case of aerial gunnery ranges, the baseline caserequires a maximum of 17 aerial gunnery ranges at one particulartime whereas the alternatives only require a maximum of 14 aerialgunnery ranges at any one time. The baseline case requires moreaerial gunnery ranges because gunnery training, Phase III, isconducted at home stations. In all other alternatives, gunnerytraining is conducted during AQC and thus fewer aerial gunneryranges can used for a larger number of units.

When examining the maximum number of maneuver areas requiredfor each of the different alternatives and the baseline case, itwas determined that all cases require a maximum of 15 maneuverareas with the exception of Alternative 2 which only requires amaximum of 11. Alternative 2 is the case in which all unittraining is conducted at one central training location, thus thetotal number of maneuver areas required is less because moreunits can occupy one maneuver area when scheduled accordingly.

ApDlication To Disnlaced EauiDment Training (DET)

A slightly varied approach was taken to address theindividual and qualification training for the reserve unitsreceiving equipment displaced by the LHX. The primary differencebetween the baseline case developed for LHX units and reserveunits is that since the displaced systems currently exist in theforce structure, the training requirements for units receivingdisplaced equipment have already been established. The methodapplied to the scheduling of displaced equipment units coincideswith the method applied to LHX equipped units in that the foursteps were followed. The training requirements of the systemswere first identified and the model of a baseline case was thenestablished. Alternatives were developed from the baseline caseand then applied to the model to investigate the sensitivities ofthe various elements on the training system. Finally, ananalysis was performed on the different alternatives to evaluatethe effectiveness and resource efficiency of the system.

The research was limited to an investigation of individualtraining requirements to become qualified in the AH-lS aircraftbecause it requires the most significant individual qualification

37

Page 45: Light Helicopter Family (LHX) · Light Helicopter Family (LHX) ... policy, or decision, unless so ... and models which may bt used to refine and expand these training

training and provides the highest percentage of personnel to betrained when compared to the other aircraft system beingdisplaced. Once the training requirements have beensuccessfully established for the AH-lS, success is assured forthe OH-58 because the training and resources required are lessthan those required for the AH-IS.

Identification of Trainina Reauirements. Unlike the processrequired to identify the training requirements for the LHX,identification of the training requirements for DET required onlya review of the Program of Instruction (POI) for the AH-lS.Because individual qualification training already exists for theAH-IS, there was no need to estimate any new resources requiredof the system. The POI contained a list of the training requiredto qualify aviators, for both active and reserve personnel, inthe operation of the AH-lS helicopter. Additionally, it providedthe quantity and cost of the resources required to accomplish onecourse iteration. The complete training cycle is to beaccomplished in a six week time period with the maximum number ofaviators per class restricted to 26. The training required fordisplaced equipment training consists of the following sixcomponents.

1. Transition Training2. Combat Skills and Gunnery Training3. Aircraft Systems Training4. Weapon Systems Training5. Tactical Subjects Training6. Performance Planning

The resources required to accomplish this training include:instructor pilots, platform instructors, aircraft, assortedtraining devices, facilities, ammunition, ranges, and AH-1Sflight simulators. Several time resources are also required toconduct training such as drill time, academic hours, and the mostcritical, Active Duty Time (ADT). ADT was determined to be themost critical resource because it is very costly since reservepersonnel must be paid per diem while serving on active statusand only two weeks of ADT per year are required of them. Allother ADT is accomplished only on a voluntary basis.

Model Development. The baseline case used to developalternatives for training those reserve component units receivingthe AH-lS was one in which all displaced equipment training isconducted at one central training center. This was chosen as thebaseline case because individual qualification training for theAH-lS is currently conducted at a central training center, namelythe U.S. Army Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama. As moreactive units receive the LHX, there will be fewer active dutypersonnel requiring individual qualification training and morereservists requiring DET. Figure 29 illustrates the amount ofresources required in the baseline case to train one battalionsize unit in each of the six training requirements.

38

Page 46: Light Helicopter Family (LHX) · Light Helicopter Family (LHX) ... policy, or decision, unless so ... and models which may bt used to refine and expand these training

In this case all training is performed at Fort Rucker andsince the length of the individual qualification course isestablished at 6.2 weeks, it will require 6.2 weeks of ADT9 toqualify reservists in the AH-iS under this option. Although thisoption requires a large amount of ADT, it also requires the leastamount of training resources needed for the largest amount oftraining to be accomplished in one year. In the baseline case atotal of five battalions can undergo individual qualificationtraining using one set of resources in a one year period.

Model ADDlication. The first alternative developed from thebaseline case discussed above is one that investigates thefeasibility of conducting as much as possible of the individualqualification training for reservists receiving displacedequipment at home stations using TOE equipment. This alternativeonly requires two weeks of ADT since the only training that isbeing conducted at a central training center is the transitiontraining and aircraft systems training. The remainder of thetraining would be accomplished in eight weeks consisting of threedrill days per week. Figure 30 illustrates the amount oftraining resources required to conduct DET for one battalion sizeunit under this alternative.

The second alternative is a combination of the baseline caseand the first alternative. In this case, it is assumed that somepeople will be available to attend individual qualificationtraining on active duty status and that some will accomplishindividual qualification training during regular drill time.Figure 31 illustrates the resources required for this alternativewhen 50% of reservists train for six weeks at one centraltraining location. In this case, it will require 6.2 weeks ofADT time10 for 50% of Army National Guard (ARNG)ll personnel tobecome AH-lS qualified with the remainder of ARNG personnelbecoming AH-1S qualified in 10 weeks.

Analysis and Comoarison of Training Schedule Alternatives.Because the AH-iS redistribution plan is not available, thesequence or number of units needed to be trained is not known andprohibits the ability to develop a training schedule for ARNGunits undergoing DET. Another limiting factor in determining atraining schedule for personnel requiring DET is that thepercentage of people requiring training is not known since thereare some people in ARNG units that are already AH-1S qualified

91f one totals the ADT (Weeks) row in Figure 29, the resultis in excess of 6.2 weeks. This is because some of the trainingfor the various components occurs concurrently.

and do not require training. Due to the lack of availableinformation, the only operational, and reasonably accurate methodto evaluate the feasibility of the alternatives developed is asubjective one in which the baseline case and the twoalternatives are compared on the basis of the number of resourcesrequired, and the length of time to accomplish training.

Although the baseline case presents the method in whichindividual qualification training in currently conducted, it isnot the most feasible way in which to conduct individualqualification training for reservists receiving equipmentdisplaced by the LHX. Reservists are only required to take twoweeks of ADT per year and to conduct DET for reserve units at onecentral training location would require 6.2 contiguous weeks.This is not feasible as most reservists would have to take leavefrom their primary job in order to become AH-lS qualified.

Alternative 1 requires only two weeks of ADT which coincideswith the amount of ADT required for ARNG personnel each year. Inthis alternative it is assumed that unit training normallyrequiring ADT would be accomplished in the fiscal year precedingthe arrival the aircraft. Comparing this alternative with thebaseline case, four weeks of pay and allowances are saved perstudent since only two weeks are spent using ADT as opposed tosix weeks of ADT required in the baseline case. However,Alternative 1 extends the training time required per unit by fourweeks.

Alternative 2 allows for the maximum flexibility forscheduling the training of instructor personnel, and other keypersonnel. These ARNG personnel are the most likely personnel toattend training at a central training center since they are fulltime ARNG personnel and are continuously on active duty status.

When comparing the three possible means to accomplishindividual qualification training for ARNG personnel, it appearsthat the most realistic alternative is Alternative 2.Alternative 2 provides the option of accomplishing trainingcompletely at a central training center or only performing thetransition training at a central training center. The optimalmix of the baseline case and Alternative 1 is dependent upon thenumber of full time ARNG personnel needed to be trained and thedistribution of aircraft.

Until detailed information becomes available regarding thenumber of personnel to be trained and the re-distribution ofaircraft, it is not possible to develop an actual trainingschedule. However, once the information is available, theoptimum number of personnel to attend full individual andqualification training at Fort Rucker can be established usingthe method developed in this research effort.

Findings and Conclusions

ApDlication To The LHX

The application of the method developed to the LHX providedthe research team with the ability to validate the model andprocedures developed as well as develop a training schedule forthe fielding of the LHX. The method was applied to both unittraining and DET training to certify the flexibility andsensitivity of the model. The model provided the research teamthe ability to evaluate the various training alternatives todetermine the most effective and resource efficient schedule fortraining units receiving LHX aircraft and units receivingaircraft that is to be displaced by the LHX.

When evaluating the proposed unit training schedulealternatives, it was determined that Alternative 1 in which allunit training is accomplished at home stations with individualand crew (Phase I) and gunnery (Phase III) training beingconducted during AQC was the best alternative. In this case theaverage unit training time is 17.6 weeks and training for allunits is completed by week 53 in the year 2000. Additionally,any of the alternatives consolidating training at a singleloLation require increased garrison and support resources.

Appendix C contains the training schedule under thisalternative for each year 12 of the entire fielding plan.Throughout the ten year cycle, the average unit training timefor active LHX units is 17.57 weeks, and the average unittraining time for ARNG LHX units is 89 weeks.

According to the LHX Distribution Plan, ARNG units begin toreceive LHX aircraft at week 18 of year 2002. When examiningFigure 32, it can be seen that ARNG units begin training at week16 of that year. Since ARNG personnel are only authorized twoweeks of ADT per year, only a two week portion of AQC13 will beperformed at a central training center. The remainder wi'C beaccomplished at home station at the rate of 2 drill periods perweek. Company training and all battalion level training save oneweek are also accomplished at home station but at a rate of twodrill periods per month. The last week of battalion leveltraining is accomplished during the next ADT phase.

Resource rates of consumption are based upon the trainingdescribed above. The resources required are the same as theresources required to train active duty units but are consumeddifferently due to the lack of ADT available to conduct unit

12For active Army units only; ending in FY 2002. There isone training schedule for ARNG units which begins in FY 2002 andcontinues through January 2005.

training. In this case resources are allocated where they are incompetition with the total force structure. Thus AQC isscheduled to begin three weeks prior to the availability ofdelivered aircraft because the aircraft are required to conductthe home station portion of AQC.

Develoment of a Trainina Schedule Model

The model developed was successfully applied to the LHXacquisition program. The successful application to differentportions of the training system assure the applicability of themethod to the entire training system. The model developed isflexible to provide for the incorporation of new trainingrequirements or additional resources, and can measure theconsumption of resources or the optimum productivity from agiven set of resources. Additionally, actual cost data can beincorporated into the model to determine the cost of training interms dollars as well as average unit training time lost andresource consumption.

The research team has concluded that further investigationand development of the method is warranted. The methods may beexpanded to include application to other aspects of trainingsystems such as course scheduling, and response distribution.

Appendix A

LHX Distribution Plan Input Data

Appendix A presents a consolidation of the input dataextracted from the LHX Distribution Plan. It contains a listingby year of the units scheduled to receive LHX aircraft, theirparent unit, the number and type aircraft they are to receive,and deployment area. All units are identified by code containingthe year of receipt, type aircraft, and sequence of distribution.All deployment areas are referenced by number such as Area 1, 2or 3.

For the purposes of this analysis, a unit is a company-sizedorganization. It is important to note that although all LHX unittraining can be catalogued into one of the five phases, there aresome units that do not undergo training in each of these phases.For example, most of LHX utility units do not perform battalionlevel training. Also there are two TDA (Table of Distributionand Allowances) units scheduled to receive LHX utility aircraftand these organizations only perform individual NET. Theseexceptions are identified with an asterisk.

Appendix B

Summary Data

Appendix B presents summary data for the baseline case andeach alternative investigated for FY 2000. It includes thefollowing information for each option.

1. A training schedule before and after deconflictionanalyses.'

2. A table displaying the training start time, completiontime and duration for each unit.

3. Graphs illustrating the critical resourcedistributions.

For the purposes of this analysis, a unit is a company-sizedorganization. It is important to note that although all LHX unittraining can be catalogued into one of the five phases, there aresome units that do not undergo training in each of these phases.For example, most of LHX utility units do not perform battalionlevel training. Also there are two TDA (Table of Distributionand Allowances) units scheduled to receive LHX utility aircraftand these organizations only perform individual NET. Theseexceptions are identified with an asterisk.

Appendix C

Alternative 1 Training Schedules

Appendix C contains training schedules for the selectedAlternative 1 for each year1 of LHX fielding. Included with eachtraining schedule are tables of unit training times and resourceloading summaries.

For the purposes of this analysis, a unit is a company-sizedorganization. It is important to note that although all LHX unittraining can be catalogued into one of the five phases, there aresome units that do not undergo training in each of these phases.For example, most of LHX utility units do not perform battalionlevel training. Also there are two TDA (Table of Distributionand Allowances) units scheduled to receive LHX utility aircraftand these organizations only perform individual NET. Theseexceptions are identified with an asterisk.

1For active Army units only; ending in FY 2002. There isone training schedule for ARNG units which begins in FY 2002 andcontinues through January 2005.
