What role does technology play in training according to TRADOC Regulation 350-6?

• A. It should fully replace traditional training methods
• B. It should enhance, not replace, traditional training methods
• C. It should be used exclusively for communication
• D. It should limit face-to-face interactions

Answer: (B)

Technology in training should enhance, not replace, traditional training methods. TRADOC Regulation 350-6 promotes a blended learning approach that uses digital tools to extend reach, provide simulations, deliver timely feedback, and track performance—while keeping instructor-led sessions, hands-on practice, and leader development at the center. Technology acts as a multiplier that enriches learning, enables safe practice in simulations, and helps tailor instruction to individual needs. But it cannot substitute the value of real-world interaction, mentorship, and the development of judgment and teamwork that come from face-to-face training and live environments. Using technology exclusively for communication or to shrink or eliminate traditional instructional time would undermine the comprehensive development this regulation aims to achieve.
