The 160^th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) (SOAR(A)) conducts extraordinary operations that require unique training capabilities. This paper describes those capabilities, and the methods used to achieve them. The paper first looks at the mission of the 160^th and how that mission dictates the need for special training capabilities. These capabilities encompass integrated mission planning, mission rehearsal, and rapid prototyping. An overview of the methods used to achieve these capabilities is presented, in the context of the Light Assault/Attack Reconfigurable (LASAR) A/MH-6M Combat Mission Simulator (CMS), currently undergoing development and integration into the existing SOAR(A) training system. The Requirements Analysis/Concept Exploration (RA/CE) sustainment effort is also described, with particular emphasis on its role in achieving timely capability enhancements and aircraft/simulator concurrency.
