COURSE INFORMATION

Modeling & Simulation Staff Officer Course

This three-day course provides a broad overview of modeling and simulation (M&S) policy and activities of the Department of Defense (DoD), with discussion of how DoD employs M&S in support of training, analysis, acquisition of new products and systems, test and evaluation (T&E) and experimentation.  The course focuses on M&S terms, concepts, applications, and information resources, preparing attendees for positions that require conversancy in these topics.  Students will gain familiarity with major M&S concepts, policies, organizations, programs, activities, and issues within the Department of Defense.     Two (2) Continuous Education Units (CEUs) are available for this course as well as twenty-one (21) Continuous Learning Points (CLPs).
