 | We propose new methods for evaluating learning outcomes from Combat Service Support (CSS) microworld training. RAND developed and piloted microworld training for distribution management skills as a part of a larger project that entailed making changes to the current structure, content, and methods of CSS training.

The mismatch between resources and requirements was forcing the men and women of the U.S. Air Force ... |
