“It's just like watching tape, growing up playing football,” said Croxdale. “You can see where the mistakes were made. I can replay it, see what everyone was doing and be like, ‘Hey, your dispersion wasn’t very good at this point in this situation,’ and if they come back and question it, I have the tapes to back it up.”
“It could be useful, especially if you get into something where there was literal fire and maneuver,” added Croxdale. “Not even just looking at walking and disper- sion, but to [review] a fire and maneuver, that is definitely value added.”
TEAM AND NATIONAL GUARD SUPPORT Te 75th Rangers provided thorough and honest feedback on the fourth IVAS capability set, but the test could not have been executed without support from the Army test community and Army National Guard (ARNG).
“IVAS is an important system for the Army,” said Col. Ben Patrick McFall, commander of Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona. “But what I think is really important is the relationships between the PEOs, PMs [program managers] and ATEC [Army Test and Evaluation Command] test community.”

“The thought process behind the IVAS system is incredible. It blows my mind that we're in a day and age where the system even exists.”
Support Battalion, remained flexible and accommodated changes, proving the team and the installation to be an ideally located asset to the Army test community.
Sgt. 1st Class Joshua Braly, who currently serves on the Soldier Lethality Cross- Functional Team, said he helped to facilitate ARNG support because he has personal ties to the Guard.
“I am also a Georgia Guardsman,” said Braly. “IVAS is being designed for the close combat force and the Army National Guard is a large part of that, which is why I am involved.”
Because of his connection to the Guard, Braly knew that they could deliver flex- ible and invaluable support that other locations could not.
