The military is one of the most effective systems for teaching people to always be “switched on.” Special forces training, in particular, emphasizes hyper-vigilance, constant readiness, and a mindset that you can overcome anything. Today, after a “processing” session with my team, I came to an important realization: while the military is exceptional at teaching us how to turn the “on” switch, it fails to teach us how to turn it “off.” The cost of this can be extraordinarily high, and it’s something that must be addressed. — It’s also clear that teaching the ability to transition between “on” and “off” would create higher performing soldiers both on and off the battlefield. More to come on this topic.

🚀 Imagine the Future of Military Training—Where the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force Lead with Innovation and Precision!🚀 At the heart of military readiness lies the ability to train smarter, faster, and more effectively. What if we could push the boundaries of immersive training to solve complex problems—across pilot training, maintenance procedures, and resiliency/prevention efforts—using Virtual Reality (VR)? With reps and sets being key to skill development in every military discipline, VR has the potential to revolutionize how we prepare for every mission. Imagine combining the rigor of pilot training with the precision needed for maintenance training and the mental toughness honed through resiliency training, all within immersive, data-rich 📈environments that replicate real-world scenarios. From realistic flight simulations to hands-on maintenance procedures and stress inoculation exercises, VR can offer **repeatable, scalable, and safe training environments** that sharpen skills and build resilience—leading to faster recovery, reduced operational downtime, and more effective mission execution. At Booth 663at #IITSEC2024, we’ll be showcasing how cutting-edge VR solutions can address your toughest training challenges. Let’s talk about how we can partner to transform military training, from the cockpit to the battlefield, and beyond. #VirtualReality #MilitaryTraining #ImmersiveTraining #Resiliency #Simulation #IITSEC2024 #Innovation #USArmy #USNavy #USAirForce #TrainingExcellence #NextGenTraining

Did someone say #SuccessStory?! We’ve got an inspiring one to share. #TBT to 2017 when the US Army issued a #SBIR for the integration of #ATR into small caliber/close-combat weapon systems for infantry squads. Our team demonstrated technological excellence throughout each phase, enhancing the lethality of Army munitions and reducing the risk to DoD personnel engaged in combat operations.

Our Stationary Infantry Pop-Up Target is designed specifically for military training environments where precision and adaptability are crucial. This robust target system enhances soldier readiness by simulating realistic battlefield scenarios and providing dynamic and responsive training experiences. The SIT Pop-Up Target is ideal for sharpening tactical skills and offers quick setup and reset features, allowing for uninterrupted drills and scenarios. #TheissenTrainingSystems #MilitaryTraining #TacticalTraining #TargetSystems

The Army bootcamp is basic combat training (BCT) and the Marine Corps bootcamp is Marine combat training (MCT). They have similar ranks except the Army has men and women training together and the Marine Corps usually has men only training with men and women only training with women. The bootcamp training overall is different than each other.

Camp Forrest Fun Facts! Camp Forrest provided training not only for combat troops, but also for many kinds of support troops as well.  Signal Corps soldiers received a wide variety of training to support their mission of communication.  In this photo from June 1942, we see soldiers of Company B, 95th Signal Battalion, undergoing typing and teletype instruction. The soldiers on the right are using standard typewriters, while those at left are operating teletype machines.  Teletype technology allowed transmission of typed and encoded messages over telephone or telegraph lines, or by radio.  It became the preferred method of long-distance military communication during World War II. Notice the spartan conditions of the room: it is lit by a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling, the plain wood siding of the building is clearly visible, and the soldiers are seated on recycled packing crates.  (Official U.S. Army Photo, National Archives, College Park, MD) Please feel free to comment, like and share our posts.

All Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees are required to perform a 360 degree walk around before operating a government vehicle. This simple, quick activity increases your awareness of obstacles that could cause damage to the vehicle or injure you or vehicle passengers. It's a required practice for Tulsa District employees operating a government vehicle, and a good habit to incorporate into your daily safety skillset. #Safety #VehicleSafety #USACETulsa

I want to thank Army Sustainment (Magazine) for publishing my third article, Building a Data-/Evidence-Based Decision-Making Culture at Army Sustainment University. Of course, I would be remiss not to thank my colleagues at Army Logistics University - College of Professional and Continuing Education, Robert Neeley, DBA, PMP, John Scott Billie, William (Bill) Smith, Ph.D., Ryan Miller, and more for doing such great work to write about. It has been a good year of growth from last year. Army Logistics University #ArmyDataLiteracy #ArmyDataEducation.
