It is important to understand that a fully functional<br />

instrumentation suite is much more than just a<br />

collection of cameras and recorders. It is a<br />

comprehensive system that integrates every facet<br />

of the training event into a single multi-media<br />

product. A proper system will help to simulate a<br />

realistic environment that may include lighting,<br />

special effects, and other environmental controls<br />

like the sounds and smells of a battlefield. While<br />

such a system does not have to cost millions of<br />

dollars, it is certainly more involved than just<br />

buying a home security system and dropping it<br />

into your shoothouse.<br />

Let’s not forget that although an instrumentation<br />

system can do many things, it cannot provide a<br />

trainee with instant feedback or correction on<br />

the fly. This kind of spur-of-the-moment interaction<br />

can only be provided by the trainer. Traditionally,<br />

the trainer follows close behind on the belt loop<br />

of his trainee. However, personal audio links that<br />

can patch the trainer into the integrated sound<br />

system now let him guide the trainee and offer<br />

direction from the safety of an overhead catwalk.<br />

A typical AAR session can take place minutes or<br />

even hours after the actual training event. In some<br />

cases, the information is reviewed again several<br />

days later. The U.S. Army Combat Training<br />

Centers provide “take home AAR packages,”<br />

and the <strong>Action</strong> <strong>Target</strong> AAR instrumentation<br />

system supports these package requirements<br />

at the home station. Most trainers agree that<br />

trainees learn more quickly and more effectively<br />

when they receive immediate feedback to their<br />

performance. Delaying correction is like scolding<br />

a dog for making a mess on the carpet the day<br />

after it happens. We are certainly not dogs, nor<br />

are we incapable of reasoning a problem u<br />
