    (Addis Ababa University, 2022-06) Girma Fujaga; Fesseha Afework (PhD)
    The purpose of this particular study was to assess the effect of simulation-based training on army performance in awash combat technique school. The research design is descriptive and causal that explains the causal relationship between SBT and army performance. The study used mixed approaches for the survey. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and both primary and secondary data were collected using interviews, questionnaires, and document review. The sample respondents were identified using a stratified sampling technique. On the other hand, the interviewed respondents were selected using the purposive/judgmental method to make the data more complete. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were generated using a statistical tool (SPSS-Version 20). The findings show that Army performance has a positive correlation with training policy, Simulation-based training, and Training method. On the other hand, the result of multiple regression analysis shows that the aggregate result of training policy, SBT, and training method significantly affect the total variability of army performance. Based on the findings the study concluded that SBT has a positive effect on army performance. Finally, the study recommended the top management’s role for SBT, the types of training provided using the simulator, and negative feelings about SBT. Key words: simulation-based training, army performance, training policy, training method
