Criteria for success

• Decentralized training equipment  always

available for the user

• Suitable mix between live – simulators –

virtual supported training  verify proficiency on soldiers and units contagiously through the training cycle

• Dual-purpose equipment (BT-46)
• Supporting full combined arms concept  All

branches/functions simulated

• Command & Control trainer  rehears TTP and

decision making

• Support tools for AAR available locally &

central for all levels  understanding – learning – verification – documentation

• Communication & Coordination JOINT/COMBINED
