1. The Tactical Trainer: A Few Thoughts on Training and Training Management from a Former Special Operations Soldier
2009 by Msg Paul R Howe U S Army Retired, Paul R. Howe
In a world where training often consists of being shouted at while running through mud, The Tactical Trainer dares to ask the revolutionary question: What if we actually thought about how to train people properly? Drawing from the no-nonsense, battle-hardened wisdom of a former Special Operations Soldier, Paul R. Howe takes readers on a tactical deep dive into the fine art of getting individuals, teams and entire organizations to function like well-oiled, high-speed, low-drag machines of efficiency—without resorting to the classic method of just yelling louder. Covering everything from sharpening individual skills to ensuring that an entire unit doesn’t collectively trip over its own boots in the heat of the moment, this book provides an arsenal of insights that will make training less about blind repetition and more about actual, useful improvement. Whether you’re in the military, law enforcement, or just someone who thinks their office team could benefit from some tactical discipline (and possibly a few push-ups), this guide is packed with the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from years of doing things the hard way—and then figuring out how to do them smarter.

2. Principles of Flight Simulation
2009 by David Allerton
In the grand and often terrifying tradition of humans attempting to defy gravity without flapping their arms wildly, Principles of Flight Simulation takes on the rather ambitious task of explaining how to recreate the experience of flight without actually leaving the ground (or, ideally, crashing into it). David Allerton, who has presumably spent an inordinate amount of time making sure virtual planes behave in ways that won’t induce existential panic, leads readers through the intricate world of mathematical models, flight dynamics and the arcane magic of real-time graphics that make modern flight simulators feel convincingly like large, expensive metal tubes hurtling through the sky. This book explores the fine art of making motion platforms that judder in just the right way, the peculiar challenges of designing an instructor station that doesn’t turn pilots-in-training into nervous wrecks and the ever-important business of ensuring that all of this actually works without the simulator spiraling into a digital nervous breakdown. With access to a full suite of software—including real C code modules from an actual flight simulator—this guide is perfect for engineers, researchers and university students, as well as anyone who has ever wanted to press a lot of buttons and pretend to be a pilot without the minor inconvenience of earning a license.

3. Project Train Mod: Modernizing Soldier Training Through Research
2003 by Kenneth Lamar Evans
In the grand and occasionally bewildering world of military training, Project Train Mod: Modernizing Soldier Training Through Research is a bold attempt to answer the age-old question: Can we make learning about high-tech warfare slightly less mind-numbingly tedious? Kenneth Lamar Evans and his team have bravely waded through an ocean of research—11 separate investigative tracks, no less—covering everything from decision-making under pressure to the thorny issue of getting soldiers to actually use their high-tech digital systems correctly, rather than as particularly expensive paperweights. The book explores thrilling topics such as the Land Warrior System (which sounds like something you’d unlock in a particularly ambitious video game), advanced decision-making for urban warfare (otherwise known as trying not to get lost in a combat zone) and the ever-elusive concept of situation awareness, which, one suspects, is military-speak for not being caught completely off guard at the worst possible moment. Topped off with deep dives into computer-based training and instructional design—because even the most battle-hardened soldier must, at some point, sit through a PowerPoint—the report is an essential read for anyone looking to drag military training into the digital age without losing their sanity in the process.
