This evidence for positive transfer helps the Army to show
that its investment in networked simulation devices has value for
officer school training. More importantly, these findings have
significant general implications for how the Army conducts device
training effectiveness tests, and how it uses devices. The value
of training devices may be seriously underestimated in tests if
trainers are not allowed sufficiently extended experience to
learn how to train effectively using the device. Instructors in
many tests have only been taught to operate the device, and have
trained few soldiers on the device before training the test
