Integrating SIMNET into Heavy Task Force Tactical Training

Abstract

This report describes a procedure used to integrate simulation networking (SIMNET) exercises and traditional field exercises into a coordinated training plan intended to prepare an armor unit for a rotation at the Combat Training Center (CTC). The procedures outlines the development of a Battalion training plan and the training sequence to be followed during the 7 months prior to a CTC rotation. The resulting plan allows commanders to tailor the training sequence to meet unit-specific training goals, thus maintaining higher combat readiness at a lower cost. Included is the SIMNET planning package (prepared by SIMNET site staff) that the unit used to plan and execute its simulation-based training.
