Force on Force Training in the United States Navy.

Abstract

Abstract : Schools can teach our men how to operate equipments; only their commanders can teach them how to fight and that has to be on their own ships, with their own leaders and their own equipments, supported by a tactical scenario that reflects the urgency of their real world missions. This statement set the stage for Navy force on force training. There are two conditions that the Navy must address in achieving advanced warfighting training. First, the Navy has invested heavily in embedded but traditionally stand alone training devices and must capitalize on these previous investment. Second, there is an overwhelming need for realistic dynamic opposition forces. The need to develop an advanced interoperable tactical training environment in which to exercise force on force training in the United States Navy has never been greater.
