Abstract Augmented Reality (AR) as a technology with great potential has recognized to impact affective and cognitive learning outcomes in the field of educational research. In the present study indicate, that the proposed education method based on AR technology can improve learning motivation and attention. A better interactive learning environment was established by this AR method. The research used AR technology and mobile devices such as cell phone in the teaching environment of mission analysis package of MDMP as the target. An experimental group and a control group were designed to evaluate the communication between teacher and students, including the advantages of learning cognition. Divided into two groups (classes), 40 officers receiving the training in Army Command and Staff College were the subjects of this research. The results showed that the proposed method could strengthen the communication conditions between the teacher and learners, and improve the students’ cognition and understand of the operating procedure.

1 Introduction Army Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP) refers to the Army Command and Staff College conducts education of the Advance Course in Taiwan. To nurture the command and staff officers, MDMP is used to train the officers’ abilities, such as command and staff operating procedure, war analysis, and operations planning. From 2004, the Army of Taiwan implemented the MDMP of the US Army in army command and staff operating procedure. Taiwan has been developing MDMP for almost a decade. However, problems were found in MDMP application including teaching, military exercise, and guideline revision. As a result, the Army Command and Staff College needs a breakthrough in the current MDMP teaching. Based on the FM 5-0 operation guidelines of the United States Armed Forces, the current MDMP in Taiwan was divided into two stages, including (1) Receipt of Mission, (2) Mission Analysis, (3) Course of action (COA) Development, (4) COA Analysis, (5) COA Comparison, (6) COA Approval, and (7) Orders Production [1]. The situation in the battlefield is ever-changing, and military operations involves diverse aspects. However, the preparation of MDMP teaching often requires great amount of time in the related information collection. According to the learning experience of the researcher and the
