Assessing The Effectiveness Of Simulation-based Counter-IED Training

Abstract. This study compares the effectiveness of simulation-based and traditional counter-Improvised Explosive Device (IED) training methods in the Australian Army. Participants were 16 enlisted personnel from the Royal Australian Corps of Transport who took part in simulation-based training using Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2) and conventional Rehearsal of Concept (ROC) drill training. Usability and training effectiveness of each were assessed through a mixture of qualitative and quantitative measure.
