This workstation controls each person participating in the training. The Exercise Control Workstation is the brains behind the system and allows the trainer to create, modify, and execute training exercises. The Soldier Simulated Training area is a 10-foot by 10-foot area with a manned module pad, which provides feedback for the Soldier to safely move in his or her space. The system itself is divided into five distinct work areas. would make part of a well-rounded training cycle, a little bit of this on top of field time can get you different views and situations," said Haywood. But that's part of retrain and try again. "I think everybody accomplished the missions, minus some casualties. These are intended to simulate places like Afghanistan and Iraq, but are not limited to only these specific scenarios. Currently, the programmed training environments include mountainous, wooded, and desert. With a wide variety of environments, and the ability to insert specific entities into the scenarios, the options for training opportunities are virtually limitless rehearsals for missions or live-fire exercises are just a couple of examples. Charles Haywood, team leader, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. I can see us in the future using this system to conduct rehearsals," said Sgt. "You can mold the situation, and you can do it as many times as you want and give younger guys a chance to step up and be leaders. The ability to train with this system allows the "reset" time to be cut down, which allows the ability to get more repetitions in a shorter amount of time and the ability to review each mission on a television screen to enhance the after action review process upon completion of each mission. "This system enhances training it does not replace it." "This system gives the power of simulation to the squad in order to close the gap of individual Soldier training and collective training," said John Matthews, project director, Assistant Project Manager for Close Combat Tactical Trainers. This virtual system allows leaders at the squad level to maintain their squad's proficiency of their assigned tasks in a timely and safe manner, even in the event new Soldiers arrive to the unit.
The Dismounted Soldier Training System will be available for leaders to enhance their Soldiers' training in a fully immersive, virtual reality environment. The first-ever, fully immersive virtual simulation training system for Soldiers is being fielded at Fort Bragg. With emerging technology of the virtual world, this is becoming a reality. 1, 2012) - The Army is responsible to provide realistic training for individual Soldiers while mitigating risk.
