Irregular Warfare (IW)

Abstract

This research and development effort closes training gaps at the tactical and operational level and ensures our General Purpose Forces (GPF) receive immersive, pre-deployment training equal to that provided to Special Operations Forces (SOF). JNTC IW researches, develops and integrates human terrain/cueing/profiling training, enhanced and distributed interagency team training, cultural awareness training, mixed reality training, and distributed training technologies that enhance IW training for GPF. As part of a national effort, IW will integrate and leverage Joint, Service, Interagency and academic initiatives for improving ground combat performance of small unit individuals, leaders and teams in the operating environment-focusing on the hybrid threat-to avoid duplication of efforts to achieve integration and synergy. JNTC IW integrates human, cultural and social science subject matter experts, establishing laboratory and training facilities with access to urban live fire, and maneuver training facilities and civilian population centers. Develops rapid reach back and reach forward mechanisms to convert current operational practices into training practices, and by providing state of the art simulations on par with aviation and maritime simulation and training capabilities. While highlighted by the need to adapt simulation now to IW demands, the value of enhanced infantry small unit immersive simulation will contribute to small unit proficiency and survival across the range of military operations, from irregular to conventional.
