Traditionally, the development of training systems follows the well-established paths defined through Instructional Systems Design (ISD) guidelines. This approach works well when developing training for domains where core knowledge content is relatively static, such as Aviation, Marksmanship, Mathematics or Language. However, with the recent shift in military operations from predominantly kinetic to irregular and often non-kinetic, there has been a corresponding shift in the nature of the training that Warfighters require. In addition to static and well defined skill sets, Warfighters must now also be trained on specific social-cultural skills, general cultural awareness and sensitivity, and the more global ability to quickly integrate with new and potentially vastly different cultures. Warfighters must have the ability to quickly assess and identify the societal norms, behaviors, and social structures in a social or cultural group. Training technologies are needed that will prepare Warfighters to adapt to unfamiliar social-cultural environments. These technologies will leverage adaptable human behavioral representations, provide end-users with rapid authoring tools, provide instant and tailored feedback and will be able to be embedded into small footprint systems. This paper will discuss recent advances in each of these areas and provide a framework for how advances in each may be integrated into a process for developing training technologies that will provide Warfighters with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need to adapt to novel social-cultural experiences.
