"March 2010". In March of 2008, the AWG (Asymmetric Warfare Group) initiated a scientific and technical effort to help define and develop Outcomes-Based Training and Education (OBTE). The objective of this research was to enable the integration and development of OBTE as instructional capabilities, in both the Generating Force and the Operating Force, that are closely linked with the needs of Full Spectrum Operations. Derived requirements implicit in this broad agenda include an integrated approach to leadership, education, training and self-development that can be institutionalized through verification, validation, and the attendant capabilities for continuous improvement.
