Simulations are powerful tools with myriad of high-payoff applications. Simulations will be used to improve each of the four pillars of military capability readiness, modernization, force structure, and sustainability.
Simulations are a cost effective means of enhancing readiness.
We will use them in training, planning, and combat development. We have established a simulation test bed that is used for both training and development. Simulations will stretch the commander's ability to train, to plan and to employ forces. In the future we must ensure a family of simulations and simulators that replicate the blending of information and fires. Our goal is a system that links information and fires creating a realistic expectation of what fires can do.
