Presentation Title:
Army Senior NCO Perspective

Special Event Type: Focus Event

Tag Line : Operational Readiness Leveraging Simulations for Training & Mission Rehearsal

Program Description:

The feedback from combat-tested senior NCOs has always been valuable to the training and development of the latest generation of Army Soldiers. These seasoned leaders know today's youngest warfighters grew up surrounded by constantly changing and advancing technology, resulting in them being more accepting of digital simulation for training and mission rehearsal. Despite their ability to adapt to technology, these young warfighters must still embrace the idea that synthetic training only augments and does not replace live training evolutions. Additionally, simulation and mission rehearsal technology is not limited to only weapons and platforms, but also covers the entire spectrum of military operations including communications, logistics, tactical data links, and battlefield medicine. Each of these critical elements must be included in any type of synthetic training environment in order to achieve both individual and unit operational readiness.
