Gaming Technology In Support Of Army Training

Abstract

The Games for Training (GFT) Program prepares Soldiers and Leaders for executing Unified Land Operations by delivering robust training and mission rehearsal capabilities. The GFT program satisfies the Active, National Guard, and Army Reserves' educational requirements in the Operational, Institutional, and Self-Development Training Domains with a low-overhead, flexible, persistent training capability on geo-specific and geo-typical terrain that is relevant with all military platforms and weapon systems. This gaming capability allows units and commanders to train individual and collective tasks at the company and below level with minimal amount of resourcing required (land, ammunition, transportation, etc.) in support of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) 2028. Through the use of GFT systems, commanders are able to refine and rehearse unit Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) prior to executing live, large-scale training events. GFT trains higher echelon units and staffs by facilitating Tactical Exercises Without Troops (TEWT).
