The Army Modeling and Simulation School (AMSS) provides targeted education, training, qualification, and certification to ensure the Army M&S workforce, both Functional Area 57 (military) and Career Program 36 (civilian), is well trained in the use and application of the US Army's Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation capabilities. As part of this mission, AMSS routinely updates its education and training opportunities based on the evolving tasks, knowledge, skills, and abilities required. To better understand and address the US Army’s current and future analysis, modeling and simulation educational needs, AMSS has been conducting the Analysis, Modeling and Simulation (AM&S) Education, Training, and Development Effort. This paper will describe the AM&S Education, Training, and Development Effort outlining the process used to collect information, analysis of the data collected, and the results of the effort. The process is based on the TRADOC Pamphlet 350-70-14, Training and Education Development in Support of the Institutional Domain, leveraging the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) process. During the years of execution, the process has been refined to best reach all US Army Communities and gather a broad range of interview data from Soldiers and Department of the Army civilians. The data collected is both quantitative and from Soldiers and Department of the Army civilians. The data collected is both quantitative and qualitative and have identified 16 major educational categories, with numerous critical tasks under each major area. Examples of major educational categories include: Data Science, Federating Models and Simulations, Scenario Planning and Development, Data Generation and Management, and Identifying and Applying Existing Army M&S Assets. In response to the findings, AMSS has been identifying existing educational solutions and developing new courses. This effort is an on-going, iterative process and AMSS will continue to seek additional interviews and data on AM&S educational needs across the Army.
