TRADOC Pam 525-3-7-01A training capability that allows units to train themselves without significant externalsupport.Questions for Further ExplorationAll of the TLE issues that must be addressed by S&T research, experimentation, and studiesare far too numerous to list here, and all cannot be foreseen. However, what are clear are thetypes of issues that must be priorities. These include finding answers to the following questions.How can innovative learning models, strategies, and tools enable the training system toimprove efficiency and effectiveness of individual, collective, and self-developmenttraining for future Modular Force Soldiers?How can emerging technologies enable the training system to provide more realistic,relevant, and responsive training on demand?How can emerging knowledge from learning science, and new training technologiesimprove the responsiveness of training development and delivery (both rapid access andavailability)?What, if any, changes in training and education (such as, IMT, OES, NCOES) might beneeded to prepare millennial Soldiers in the most efficient and effective manner? Forexample, because of their immersion in a digital world, do millennials have a differentdefinition of "knowledge" and "learning" and if so, what are the implications for Armytraining and education?What are the limits on Soldier and leader learning and performance? (For example, limitson the extent to which to accelerate learning; limits on range and/or depth of multifacetedor multi-skilled performance.)What are the implications for individual and collective training and education in thefuture?How should training be arranged to provide opportunities for units to practice learning?How can the Army recognize when units and leaders are learning effectively anddeliberately?How can schools teach organizational learning?How do larger units and senior leaders contribute to learning during operations?How should the Army address the unique TLE needs of the Army Reserve Soldier—as a“part-time” warrior-citizen?Do millennials have the potential to be the first true generation of life long learners?Do millennials prefer independent learning and does that translate into a natural affinityand the skills for self-development?Does familiarity with technology and exposure to rapidly changing realities via theInternet give today’s generation an intuitive understanding of the need to continuouslylearn and adapt their thinking within a dynamic environment?131
