Training of command staff for the use of units in crisis situations based on the application of modern technology

Abstract

Crisis situations of the last decades occupy a significant place due to the consequences they create (expressed in losses that amount to hundreds of human lives and enormous amounts of money). Management in such crisis situations is conditioned by a large number of factors that need to be analyzed in detail during the preparation for prospective (expected) future crises. A possible way of reducing the consequences is the preparation of command management staff for such situations. Preparations based on the application of modern technologies (remote and simulation software) significantly result in better training of command structures for response and handling crisis situations. The required quality is achieved through the application of the distance learning platform, where individuals choose the time and place of learning, which creates the conditions for more focused and higher - quality training on simulation software. The Janus simulation software has been used in this paper. It enables training people (through different scenarios) to respond in different situations. An unlimited number of repetitions of different or the same scenarios allow people to train to respond to an unlimited number of different situations.
