Concurrent Systems, Geo-Specific Terrain, and Interoperability: Key Concepts in Realistic Simulations Training “Train as you fight” is one of the eleven principles of Unit training as defined by Department of the Army as “training under an expected operational environment for the mission. This means establishing in training what the unit can expect during operations to include the culture of an operational environment” (ADP 7-0, 20xx). With the complexity of simulations today, Soldiers are able to train in virtual scenarios without stepping on the actual battlefield. In order to set conditions for that realistic training, accurately replicating combat equipment, mission terrain, and interoperability are key characters with the principle of …show more content…
Replicating the Operational Environment: Soldier’s equipment A key facet to ensuring the Soldier has confidence in his or her equipment is “clearly knowing what it can and cannot do” (Siegel, 20xx). Although operating the exact equipment is the ideal situation, there are some instances where it is prudent to replicate equipment for finical and/or safety reasons. Such is the case Ed link when you panted the Link aircraft trainer and opened up the Link Flying School in Birmingham New York (AMSE International, 2000). Prior to the link trainer, the primary method for training pilots was dual seated plane where one pilot taught another side by side (AMSE International, 2000). This technique was effective but costly and dangerous. The link trainer allowed for a …show more content…
With the Links Aircraft trainer, the concept of concurrency established replicating key controls but entire cockpits to ensure there is not negative habit transfer. In addition, this evolved to modern day simulators by not only replicating key controls but entire cockpits. With virtual terrain in modern simulators, the aspect of virtual mission rehearsals now gives the war fighter a virtual experience before deploying. The ITE was born from SIMNET but evolved to include mission command in our modern times. The aspect of modeling the right equipment, terrain, and interoperability is critical to training but must be evolved further for future training simulators. For example, concurrency of a simulator must be a parallel step in the acquisition process to remain timely with changes to the combat equipment. Virtual terrain replication should as focus on dynamic terrain aspects such as exploding artillery effects or shifting sand in the desert. Interoperability should be a more fluid process without a multimillion dollars worth of additional equipment and
The world is an ever-changing place. The US Army must continually improve and update its training for different types of acts of terror or new threats to our freedom. Compare the styles of war between the Revolutionary War, WWI, WWII, and the Iraq War. Completely different styles of War. Constantly changing ways of training helps to overcome new threats.
All of these things that go into the training are just to make the soldier more aware of the choices they have, and to make sure they understand they are not alone in this.
Chief Warrant Officer Three Teddy Vanzant is an extraordinary instructor whose technical abilities and extensive combat systems experience make him uniquely suited to train United States Army, Ordnance Warrant Officers. Teddy has spent the last 13 months completely redesigning the Programs of Instruction for the M1A2SEPv2, Abrams Main Battle Tank and the M3, Bradley Fighting Vehicle. He provided sound guidance and assistance to the CASCOM, Training Development during the validation of not only these two critical combat systems, but for the M109A6, Paladin as well. Due to these qualities and his dedication to the instructional mission, I recommend CW3 Vanzant to compete for the Distinguished Instructor Award, and the Army Logistics University,
Develop and integrated a comprehensive 40-hour Integrated MTC Tool Suite training program that provided training to MTC and unit staffs to efficiently plan, design and executes exercises through the primary use of G27 Tool Suite; Exercise Support Application (ESA), Exercise Design Tool (EDT), Virtual OPFOR Academy (VOA), and Information Operation Network (ION). Validated the MTC Integrated Tool Suite training program and team certification to ensure a standardization of training and DATE compliancy. Provided briefings to the 84th Training Command and AVNCoE Commanding Generals, the United Kingdom ISR Bde Commander, NTC, JMRC senior leaders and individual staffs to continuously fostered enduring partnerships that resulted in a substantial growth in recognition and usage of G27’s web-enabled
We, as NCOs, have the responsibility to develop, prepare, and train our Soldiers for the challenge of an ever-changing operational environment.
In todays army, soldiers are required to continuously learn and train in order to keep up with the demand of the ever changing battlefield. To properly conduct these training session, a training management process(TMP) is created to be a universal outline for leading and managing training and development. Examples of the TMP, is the Army Training Network (ATN) and the many doctrines found on Army Publishing Directorate(APD) site. In this essay, we will focus on the importance of three processes that are apart of the TMP; rehearsals, pre-execution checks, and After Action Reviews. We will also focus on the value of web-based training and doctrines, such as ATN and APD.
As stewards of our profession, commanders ensure that military expertise continues to develop and be passed on to aspiring professionals through operational development. It is during this developmental phase that Professional Soldiers put their knowledge and skills to the test. Operational Army units certify and recertify their Professional Soldiers through repetitive and realistic training events including the Combat Life Saver Course, platoon live fires, and exercises at the National Training Center. In the course of these challenging and realistic experiences, the Army’s operational units develop Soldiers and leaders prepared to maintain high standards, discipline, and operational readiness. Operational development and adaptability will continue to drive changes in Army doctrine, organization, leadership, and education as we enter the post-war era. Without this kind of development, the Army could not maintain a well-disciplined professional fighting force.
The United States Army has always expressed the importance to service members about taking the initiative to professionally develop themselves, have the drive, and determination to excel past their peers. In order to do so, the Army offers several ways for a Soldier to professionally develop themselves during their off duty hours. The Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) is one of the foundations established that a service member can use to do online training and get credited for that training. In order to be successful with this system, the Soldier needs to know and understand how the system performs along with how to navigate the website and the course catalog.
Make sure your soldiers are trained on crew drills and range cards. Training is what the army pays leaders for. Make every atempt to train your soldiers with every oportunity you get. At no time should soldiers be in the team room without a task and purpuse. PCC and PCI is a most ensure all your equipment is clean and serviceable and do the same with the soldiers under you.

Emergency and wartime scenarios include many factors that are difficult to keep track of, let alone program into a simulation that covers the entirety of an exercise and individual responsibilities. The solution for this issue is to use exercise design principles, in particular Master Scenario Event List (MSEL). MSEL provides the framework needed to monitor and manage the flow or exercise activities, and provides the most realistic opportunity for facilitators, evaluators, and controllers.
We did infantry training which includes physical fitness, drill, march discipline & essential field craft. This training was very effective in the war front as it removed my fear to fight the war in the battlefield and in the battlefield it is do and die affair. The primary training is recruiting training. Recruit training attempts to teach the basic information and training in techniques necessary to be an effective service member. In the training we have faced a lot of obstacles and hurdles like, wounds, cuts and bruises that now when we are hurt in the field, it is no big deal to us and we get used to it and it is also true that at times we forget to care for ourselves and that sometimes leads to major problem which we weren’t aware of.
Training objectives must support the mission profile and meet the commanders desired end state. Prior to the 56TH train up at the National Training Center (NTC) the deployment location changed from Iraq to Afghanistan (case study). Changes to mission essential tasks were not identified prior to NTC, resulting in the BCT training on collective tasks and validated during MRE based on the Iraq mission profile. However, the shift to the Afghanistan mission profile created gaps in training not identified until units arrived at Bagram Air Field (BAF). i.e. the BCT had to establish an MRAP drivers training program at BAF extending the RSOI process. Training gaps were not limited to company level shortfalls as battalion and brigade staffs were not able to anticipate potential threats and capitalize on opportunities. (case study 2)
This research is necessary because T-38s are aging out at all units. The T-38A at Whiteman AFB, MO, currently reaches its end of service life in 2028. Currently, the B-2s end of service is 2058, which highlights the urgent requirement for a replacement trainer. B-2 pilots fly limited sorties due to the size of the B-2 fleet and the nature of stealth aircraft. Stealth aircraft require specific Low Observable (LO) maintenance which is both time consuming and costly. Due to the limited sorties, B-2 pilots have utilized a CTP since 1993 to “provide additional time necessary for crews to maintain flight currency and continue to develop airmanship skills”.
In 2010, the Department of Defense said that autonomy was the single greatest theme for advancing modern unmanned systems. General Robert Cone, Director of the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command, stated, “the Army is evaluating the possibility of replacing twenty-five percent of manpower in Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) with robotics and unmanned systems.” Over 30 nations already operate human-supervised
