Combined Arms Command and Control Trainer Upgrade System (CACCTUS)

Abstract

CACCTUS is a combined arms staff training system that when fully fielded will enable comprehensive Marine Corps staff, unit, and team training both at home station Combined Arms Staff Training (CAST) facilities and through Distributed training involving CAST facilities across the Marine Corps. CACCTUS is an upgrade to the USMC's CAST that provides fire support training for the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) elements up to and including Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) level. Using the system components and simulation capabilities, two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) visuals, interfaced Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I),synthetic terrain, and an After Action Review (AAR), the concept of operations for the CACCTUS system is to immerse the trainees in a realistic, scenario-driven environment to enable commands and their battle staffs to train or rehearse combined arms tactics, techniques and procedures for decision-making processes.
