Abstract

Training in the U.S. military has evolved, and it has taken on new significance and priority as key in helping the military move forward. While the topic of training in the military has been discussed extensively in many different publications, there has not been as much discussion regarding those who are actually involved in that training, including curriculum designers and trainers. This chapter focuses on the experiences and identities of those who do that training. It discusses the experiences of civilian (non-enlisted) Army trainers (or educators), including how they got involved with training in the Army, their experiences in learning how to be a trainer, and their professional identities as trainers for the Army.
