The Human Factors Division of the Naval Training Systems Center has initiated a systematic R&D effort to address three prevailing problems in the areas of team training and team performance. These are the lack of: (1) conceptualization and integration of team research studies; (2) a sound team performance measurement system; and (3) research dealing with team processes. Specifically, this paper describes two unique and innovative projects aimed at solving the above problems and at providing the much needed guidelines for training operational military teams. Discussion as to whether existing team training programs teach teamwork (i.e., are we there yet?) is provided.
