Purpose Purpose R&D PROGRAMR&D PROGRAM

• Investigate issues and challenges to assist the services in implementing ADL solutions– Right Training, Right Time, Right Way

• Add to the “bag of tools” ADL designers and developers need– Concrete examples– Lessons Learned– Emerging techniques and technologies

3

Changes from the PastChanges from the Past

• Bigger investment – more directed prototypes

• ADL exemplars

• Data to support decision making

• Greater experience and knowledge of ADL techniques & technologies

• Emphasis on ADL R&D

4

Focus on QualityFocus on Quality

• Emphasizing the “A” and the “L” in ADL– Melding technology and learning together

• Exploring effective techniques, methodologies, and technologies.

• Content and applications that:– Improve performance – Support reuse & interoperability– Are: instructionally sound, interactive, engaging, &

motivating

Introduction to the Civil Support Team Trainer (CSTT)Introduction to the Civil Support Team Trainer (CSTT)

“SAMPLING IS A KEY STEP IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SUSPECTED OF CONTAINING CHEMICAL OR

BIOLOGICAL AGENTS.”

“SAMPLING IS THE PHYSICAL PROCESS OF EXTRACTING PHYSICAL MATTER FROM THE INCIDENT SITE SO THAT IT MAY BE ANALYZED AND

TESTED TO DETERMINE ITS COMPOSITION.”

“ON THE SAMPLING MISSION, THE ENTRY TEAM WILL EXTRACT THREE SAMPLES WITH THE AIM OF DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE

AND NATURE OF THE HAZARD.”

“IN ORDER TO ENSURE SAMPLES ARE ACCURATE AND VIABLE, EVERY EFFORT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT SAMPLES ARE NOT

CROSS CONTAMINATED.”

“WE WILL NEED TO WORK AS A TEAM HERE. THE ACTIONS FROM ONE PERSON CAN EFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE SAMPLING

OPERATION. YOU CAN STAY HERE AND PRACTICE THE PROCEDURE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE…..”
