self-reliance through high-quality, cost- effective, computer-based training curricula. Located at 11 installations inside and outside the United States, Signal University provided more than 600 courses to Soldiers and helped more than 2,300 Soldiers obtain commercial information technology certifications in FY13.
Signal University staff also work to connect Soldiers to applicable training available within the Army, across DOD and through commercial or private insti- tutions such as local community colleges. Te curriculum focuses on:
• Local area networks—Microsoft prod- ucts, VMware, information assurance and Battle Command Common Ser- vices administration. area
• Wide networks—Cisco, Juniper, Warfighter Information
Network – Tactical (WIN-T) network operations, WIN-T-focused basic rout- ing and Voice over Internet Protocol.
• Transmission—Tactical radios, WIN-T transmission products and fiber transmission.
FIELD SUPPORT OF THE FUTURE Te C4ISR CoE Field Support Integrated Product Team (IPT) recently began the multiyear implementation process at posts, camps and stations. Te process will start with III Corps units, followed by I Corps and then XVIII Airborne Corps. In each instance, the IPT will apply a consistent, three-phase
approach to
on division-by-division success with each phase.
Concurrently, the C4ISR CoE, along with FORSCOM and TRADOC, will continue to work with units to integrate and prioritize necessary training as part of implementation. It also will leverage NTC and JRTC training exercises in FY15 to validate the field support foot- print after the first implementation cycle.
implementa-
tion: corps- and division-level planning (approximately two months); Soldier training and preparation (approximately four months); and program implemen- tation (approximately six months). Tat schedule is subject to change depending
CONCLUSION Te C4ISR field support structure of the future will serve as a model for Army- wide implementation and will support a number of enterprise-level priorities as it reenergizes the Army’s organic field support capabilities. It is expected to reduce costs at combat training centers and home station training exercises by 40 percent annually.
Furthermore, combining training with a
deliberate ster the Army’s organic resources and
further strengthen C4ISR field support capabilities over time, while investing in the Army’s most important asset— its Soldiers.
