Virtual training (VT) is playing a key role in the transformation of the U.S. Army into a force capable of Multi-Domain Operations, particularly as it enables “fast” familiarization training for soldiers and units operating in unfamiliar terrain/populations.

The 90-minute discussion will focus on VT's versatility, as it:

Can be tailored to mimic urban and rural areas, as well as a variety of terrain (ex: swamps, forests), as well as opposing and allied forces’ tactics, techniques, and procedures

May be used to rapidly test and evaluate new equipment and tactics against opponents and systems; may also be used to test proposed capability improvements before development

Makes testing more effective/efficient (ex: info may be used to ensure that physical tests and evaluations are designed to provide maximum useful information)
