Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology II (ADST II), Battle Command Reengineering II (BCR II)
Abstract
The Battle Command Reengineering II (BCR II) Experiment was conducted at the Mounted Warfare Test Bed (MWTB) at Fort Knox, KY, from June 10 to June 17, 1998. The experiment was performed as Delivery Order (DO) #72 under the Lockheed Martin Advanced Distributed Simulation Technology II (ADST II) Contract administered by the U.S. Army Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation Command (STRICOM). The experiment was sponsored by the Training and Doctrine Command's (TRADOC's) Mounted Maneuver Battle Lab (MMBL), Fort Knox, KY. The experiment utilized a synthetic environment that employed virtual simulations to depict a heavy Task Force executing three basic Task Force-level scenarios in realistic combat situations in various experimental configurations. The scenarios were developed to be executed on the Synthetic Theater of War-Europe (STOW-E) terrain database. The scenarios included Movement to Engage vignettes. These scenarios were designed to produce effective operations orders and concepts, and induce the commanders and their planning staff to make tactical decisions that affected battle outcomes. Related Efforts Under ADST II A phase I experiment, focused on Tactical Operations Center (TOC) Concept Experimentation Program (CEP), was conducted during December 1997 at the MWTB. This effort was conducted as DO #60. The purpose of this experiment was to optimize the configuration of the future TOC based upon helping the commander to visualize the battlefield and enhance the timeliness and accuracy of the information provided to him in his or her command group environment. After that experiment, a series of follow-on experiments was planned at six month intervals to focus and evolve battle command requirements and objectives for the far term and Army After Next (AAN). BCR II was the first of these follow-on efforts.
