Towards a framework for unraveling the hidden curriculum in military training simulators

Abstract

Armies increasing rely on modern training simulators. Training simulators offer training experiences that are often not feasible without them. How can a tactical tank battle be executed without a large training area? How to perform complex navy sea operations without a large fleet? Of course, 'real' training exercises in the physical world are still necessary, but mostly in the final phase of the training program after many runs in training simulators. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
