Abstract
The overarching goal was to develop a training aid that could address different skill levels across soldiers. A set of flashcards to train map-reading skill was developed that leveraged different types of information across skill levels. Two Initial Military Training companies completed grid-coordinate tests immediately following map-reading training and again 3 weeks later after using the training aid. The results indicated that there was differential benefit for the type of information in the training aid depending on the soldier's skill level and that the combined adaptive-training material improved performance across skill levels and not just within a given skill level.
