The document discusses changes made to South Korea's reserve forces training program to increase low participation rates. Specifically, elements of game design were incorporated, including: (1) allowing trainees to choose and complete tasks to finish early by 2:30PM instead of the standard 6PM, (2) dividing trainees into teams that compete for points to finish early, and (3) displaying leaderboards to motivate competition between teams. These changes made the training more gamified and resulted in amazingly high participation rates compared to the previous model.
