Taylor, J. E., Michaels, E. R., & Brennan, M. F. The concepts
of performance-oriented instruction used in developing the experimental
volunteer Army training program (Technical Report 72-7). Alexandria,
Va.: Human Resources Research "Organization, March 1972.
This report describes the planning and implementing of the Experimental
Volunteer Army Training Program (EVATP) at Fort Ord early in 1971.
This was the Army's first effort to effect major training innovations
in the conversion toward an all-volunteer Army. By the fall of
1971, this program was being used as a model for implementing
the EVATP at other Army Training Centers. In developing the EVATP
system, six established learning principles were applied to Basic
Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training to modify the
conventional training system. Course objectives and performance
tests used were developed jointly by Fort Ord and HumRRO. In a
comparison with a conventionally trained group, independently
conducted by the Infantry School at Fort Benning, EVATP graduates
performed significantly better on five out of seven BCT subjects,
and seven out of nine AIT subjects. In general, these gains were
shown by men at all levels of aptitude.

The use of simulation is discussed in several articles. Particularly
insightful is the article by Robert Fitzpatrick and Edward J.
Morrison, "Performance and Product Evaluation," which explores
simulation in terms of performance tests.
