work performed to produce CFF VE simulations for desktop / laptop systems.

The development path was tailored towards the unique features and capabilities

of tablet systems. The authors felt it was paramount that advances in technology

be incorporated into the design process. After a functional prototype was created,

we devised an experiment that compared the tablet system to an existing

desktop / laptop CFF VE training system. Due to time constraints the objective

was not to make an exact copy of the desktop CFF simulator but to create a

tablet simulator as a proof of concept.

The focus of this thesis is not on CFF training but on VE training on

tablets. The authors show that it is possible to provide high quality VE training on

a tablet and that there is a desire to have this capability in the fleet. We will also

explore some of the strengths and weaknesses of tablet VE training using CFF

as our vehicle.

B. MOTIVATION

In the Marine Corps, there is an adage: “killing time kills Marines.” On any

given day Marines spend a great deal of time waiting for the next training event

or being transported from one place to another. To take advantage of this idle

time, small unit leaders often have “hip pocket” classes that discuss pertinent

tactics techniques and procedures (TTPs). The small unit leaders’ training fidelity

is limited by the resources they have available. Situationally, expedient training

methods such as throwing little rocks at bigger rocks to simulate CFF provides

some instruction, but it does not provide the same quality as that received in a

simulation-training center. Coordinating and executing joint forward observer

(JFO) training in a simulation-training center is an option, but this requires a block

of time that is not always available to a unit in a full pre-deployment training

workup cycle. Existing simulation systems provide little opportunity for

spontaneity or executing training in battalion spaces with high fidelity training

systems. This situation is less than optimal, especially when considering the new

era of fiscal constraint. In order to maintain proficiency, innovators within the
