Industry Trends
 Changes On How We Train
 Homestation Training
 Mobile Training Assets
 Exportable Training
 More Use of Virtual and Constructive Sims
 Immersive Training
 Cultural Training/Testing
 Merge Test and Training Events and Assets
 Evolution of Network Centric Training via
Experimental Events
 Do More With Less
 Need to “Train Like We Fight”
 Address “Three Block War”
 Why?
− Different Enemy
− 20th Century Way Too Expensive
− Physical & Spectrum Constraints
