Abstract : The Intelligent Game-Based Evaluation And Review (InGEAR) capability is a game-based training system that affords junior officers the opportunity for self-training in tactical command skills. This leverages two existing technologies: (i) Follow Me, a small unit leader tactical training game used by instructors and cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and (ii) an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for automated delivery of tailored evaluation and feedback in scenario-based exercises. InGEAR's objective is to combine game-based training capabilities with learner-centric scenario editing, performance assessment, and feedback to enhance learning and simplify instructors' taskload. These capabilities provide instructors with viable options for dealing with time constraints that limit the opportunities most cadets have for direct feedback on their own decisions and performance.
