Summary	Traditionally, training for major new systems is not fully provided until after initial operational capability. The purpose of this research is to assess the value of early consideration of Acquisition System Training requirements for new systems being acquired by the Department of Defense. This research addresses key topics raised in the recent Strategic Plan for the Next Generation Training for the Defense Department, issued by the research sponsor, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Readiness. The two central questions are: there a benefit to the warfighters (operators, maintainers and leaders) and the acquisition community with early consideration of systems training in major acquisitions? and, Does early system training contribute to initial readiness and full utilization of system's capability upon initial delivery?
