This investigation examined the relative value of having prospective armor platoon leaders engage in role-playing activities while using the Simulation Networking (SIMNET) training simulator. Training records were examined for 470 students in Armor Officer Basic (AOB) classes from late 1988 to mid-1989. During the SIMNET training exercises, 123 (26.2%), 115 (24.5%), 194 (41.3%), and 38 (8.1%) of these students acted as platoon leader, platoon sergeant, tank commander, and driver/gunner/loader, respectively. Regression analyses were performed on the measures obtained from course records. The results demonstrate that being in a platoon leadership position during SIMNET training leads to the highest performance evaluations. These findings imply that AOB students should have direct experience in platoon leadership positions during their SIMNET training.
