Training delivery, simulation and the collective exercise
Defence training procurement covers individual skills, collective training for formed units, and the simulation and live estate that support both, and the three have different suppliers and different economics. Individual training is closest to conventional education procurement, assessed on competence frameworks and instructor credentials. Collective training is a services and infrastructure contract: exercise design, opposing forces, instrumentation, safety management and after-action review over ranges and training areas.
Simulation is where most capital sits. Devices are procured against fidelity requirements defined by the training task rather than by realism for its own sake, and the expensive requirements are usually concurrency with the real equipment -- a simulator has to be updated whenever the platform is, or it trains the wrong thing -- and distributed operation, so that devices in different places can exercise together using recognised simulation interoperability standards. Both are long-term obligations that belong in the whole-life cost.
Delivery constraints are physical and regulatory. Ranges and training areas have safety templates, environmental designations, noise limits and neighbouring communities, so availability is finite and scheduled far ahead. Instructors are frequently former service personnel and their availability is the real capacity constraint. Where training is provided to another state's forces, export licensing, end-use and human rights screening obligations apply to the training itself, and those approvals sit on the critical path rather than alongside it.
