Abstract :
The military like private industry, is in the process of downsizing; however, mission demands are expanding. During these times, one challenge for today´s military leaders is to maintain a well-trained military. This challenge needs to take into account the following factors: military equipment is expanding in complexity; manpower turnover is continuous in the military environment; not all soldiers receive adequate formal training; and On-the-Job Training (OJT) may vary from unit to unit
