TRAINING FOR THE FUTURE


to accelerate the development of STE, according to Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley’s direction, which led to the awarding of seven other transac- tion authority agreements for One World Terrain, followed by a user assessment in March 2018. In June, Secretary of the Army Dr. Mark T. Esper and Milley codi- fied STE in their vision statement. “We’re postured to execute quickly,” Gervais said.


COMING INTO FOCUS


The STE will merge live, virtual and constructive simulations into a single, cohesive training capa- bility that provides a common operating picture from the battalion to the joint task force level. (U.S. Army illustration)


In the meantime, she said, there has been a focused effort to increase lethality with a squad marksmanship trainer in the field to allow close combat Soldiers to train imme- diately. Te Army also developed a squad immersive virtual trainer. “We believe we can deliver that [squad immersive trainer] much quicker than the 2025 timeframe,” she said.


CONCLUSION STE is focused on establishing common data, standards and terrain to maximize interoperability, ease of integration and cost savings, Gervais said. With the right team effort and coordination, she believes STE can be delivered quickly. Perhaps in a few short years, STE can achieve the lofty goal that DIS had for itself, accord- ing to Yuhas: Revolutionize the training and acquisition process for new weapon systems.

HIGH-TECH TRAINING

Gervais to put industry prototypes in Soldiers’ hands at the beginning of the capability development process. (U.S. Army photo by Bob Potter)
