ABSTRACT
An important aspect of the military organizational culture is training: if you want to do something, you train for it. There is individual training, which imparts the skills and the knowledge to do the job. Collective training builds the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to assemble an effective team. In professional advancement training, individual potential is built and tested, not for the present job but for future employment, thereby building collective capacities on the enhanced potential of individuals. Refresher training is designed to maintain skill levels especially where they may have been unused for a period. There is also lateral training, in which new equipments and techniques are introduced to experienced practitioners: a pilot changing aircraft types may undergo up to a year of cross-training to the new type.
