with the utmost proficiency. Being in the battle, without the battle, is a well- learned lesson in efficiency and readiness for today’s forces.

simulation facility or back to the schoolhouse.


Tis decreases reliance on FSRs to provide support before NET, during pre-deployment refresher training and through over-the-shoulder refresher training in theater. Tere is also a cost saving in terms of equipment downtime, since using and moving these terminals in the field requires personnel and satel- lite time as well as fuel and maintenance.


CONCLUSION Te Army’s network simulation train- ing packages resemble some of the most popular warfighting games available on


22


store shelves today. Te packages give the Army more options in training curricula, and Soldiers can experience a virtual realistic environment without having to draw on limited resources such as fuel, generators and airtime.


Te simulation holds Soldiers’ attention and interest, and improves comprehen- sion and retention far better than dry, antiquated presentations.


In realistic operational scenarios, Soldiers learn how to operate the equipment and how to use it collectively in the heat of battle, enabling them to employ the network to its fullest capability while performing their mission-essential tasks
