A transfer of training model known as TRAINVICE developed by Wheaton, Fingerman, Rose and Leonard, was applied to the evaluation of two antitank gunnery training devices [1]. Procedures employed in applying the model are described and data generated by the model's application are presented. Discussion is devoted to the outcome of the application to the devices, and to the general topic of transfer of training assessment.
