ENABLING MODERNIZATION


YOU CAN RELY ON THE TESS


As the Army focuses on modernizing its training capability, a simulation system provides allies with the most realistic experience outside of combat.

“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training.” —Archilochus, Greek poet


A


small first floor office in Orlando, Florida, is helping U.S. allies across the globe conduct the most realistic training possible outside of a battlefield.


Te International Program Office (IPO) at the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) provides


partner nations with training systems and training and sustainment services that strengthen both foreign allies and U.S. and coalition forces. Te tiny office accom- plishes this through one of the nation’s most vital foreign policy tools—security assistance and foreign military sales (FMS).


“Bolstering alliances and attracting new partners is a critical element of our national defense strategy, and that’s why our nation’s leaders continue to reinforce alliances as a priority,” said Dale Whittaker, the director of PEO STRI’s IPO. “Tey know, and everyone should know, that America’s allies and partners are critical to deter war and, if necessary, fight and win war.”


Whittaker said the manifold benefits of allied cooperation include everything from increased interoperability on the battlefield to partner agreements that enable free- dom of movement and maneuver across the globe.


“U.S. forces are simply not able to go uninvited into other countries and use their ports, roads, airfields and airspace. But all of that infrastructure is necessary to quickly move troops and equipment to the frontlines when necessary.”
