Military capability is principally delivered at a team and collective level, be it as small as an infantry section or as large as a task group.

The delivery of such capability is fundamentally underpinned by team and collective training.

Consequently, the analytical process of identifying team and collective training requirements and determining the most appropriate solution is of particular significance.

Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is the current analytical process that is used by the UK MoD and other NATO nations ('Front End Analysis' within the US) for analysing training requirements and determining solutions.

The essence of the process when applied to individual training is to analyse the task to be trained, identify the gap between the training audience's current and required skill levels, and determine appropriate method and media options to achieve the necessary training.

Appropriate techniques for this are well understood and most standard texts on instructional design provide guidance. - - However, there is little available guidance on how to apply the TNA approach to team and collective training which is inherently both more complex and can be significantly greater in scale, such as a Fleet Synthetic Training Exercise.

Analysing a training task of this nature and specifying an appropriate solution requires an analytical framework and a set of analytical tools and representations of significantly greater sophistication than for individual training.

The Team and Collective Training Needs Analysis Methodology (TCTNA) presented in this book has been designed to support the analysis of training problems of this scale and complexity. -
