Development of M1A2 Tank Platoon Exercises for Use in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT)

Abstract

This Research Note (RN) describes the development of M1A2 tank platoon exercises initiated as an added effort to the Structured Training for Units in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer-2 (STRUCCTT-2) Project. The effort had two objectives: to determine if the current CCTT M1A2 Intervehicular Information System (IVIS) system software replicates the actual fielded system with sufficient fidelity to provide positive training for the M1A2 tank crew; and to determine if the exercises that had been developed by the STRUCCTT and STRUCCTT-2 projects could be modified to provide interim M1A2 tank platoon training until the CCTT could be upgraded to support digital unit training. The RN describes the background for developing the exercises, covers some of the design considerations developed during the effort, provides an outline of the exercises that were created, and provides several lessons learned by the team undertaking the effort. The RN concludes with recommendations for further development of the CCTT to support digital unit training.
