Packaging equipment for shipping and storage is a key logistics technical competency. The requisite knowledge and skills are taught using a curriculum consisting of related courses and instructional materials on preservation, packing, and marking. As a result of the Department of Defense Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) initiative, the responsibility for administering the Defense Packaging Curriculum, along with classroom materials, training aids and shop equipment, was transferred from the US Army School of Military Packaging Technology (SMPT) to the US Defense Ammunition Center (DAC). DAC assembled an interdisciplinary development team whose goals were: (1) to consolidate and update the legacy SMPT courses into a unified and coherent curriculum, (2) to identify a unique set of curriculum learning objectives, and (3) to identify an optimal mix of instructional strategies. The team developed a hybrid curriculum that combines an online basic course for off-site study with advanced resident instruction at DAC. The resident instruction systematically extends the use of real-life examples introduced in the online course, and tightly integrates classroom lectures with hands-on practical exercises in a shop environment. The approach uses real-life scenarios and common multimedia across the curriculum elements to promote continuity, cognitive momentum, and training efficiency. We discuss how the team achieved their goals and relate the findings to hybrid curriculum development efforts. We also discuss products and practices developed and lessons learned of value to the education and training communities.
