What if soldiers could train in any scenario without leaving base? 🎖️🕶️ Augmented reality (AR) is revolutionizing military training ...by creating realistic virtual environments right on the training grounds. Soldiers can experience complex combat scenarios safely and repeatedly, enhancing their skills without the real-world risks. Why is this groundbreaking? Because it prepares troops better for actual combat, improving their effectiveness and safety when it matters most. What do you think? Is AR the future of military training? If you’re working with or planning to work with AR to train the armed forces, let’s connect Your innovations could be highlighted in our next episode.

Great day sharing my “Data 101: Thinking About Data” Leader Professional Development program with a room full of our #armyreserve Soldiers from Training Support Command, Military Intelligence Readiness Command. Many thanks to the command team for asking me to come and for investing in enhancing Soldier skills with data! #dataliteracy #beallyoucanbe #operationsresearch #datascience

Senior noncommissioned officers must be ready for intellectual overmatch across the competition continuum where they must possess a higher level of cognitive and strategic understanding than their adversaries. How? Starting in FY 25 SNCOs attending the Air Force Senior NCO Academy are required to complete the Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education II online course prior to attendance. Critical in modern warfare where battles are not only fought with weapons but also with tactics that require quick thinking, adaptability, and a deep understanding of complex scenarios to create superior intellectual overmatch—optimizing the force. Well prepared Joint Force SNCOs will navigate and leverage the strengths of different service branches and integrate various capabilities effectively to become a strategic advantage force multiplier. Our adversaries will stand idly by as Air Force SNCOs equip themselves to make informed decisions, anticipate enemy actions, and deploy resources efficiently, all of which are crucial for success in modern, fast-evolving Great Power Conflict. #jointforce #SNCO #intellectualovermatch #developingwarfighters #optimizetheforce Get the full details. https://lnkd.in/eXCmh8ES United States Air Force The Joint Staff United States Space Force Air Force Senior Non-Commissioned Officer Academy (AFSNCOA) Air Education and Training Command Air & Space Forces Association Alex Eudy Stars and Stripes

I endorse this academic strategic sweet success plan.

#MeetTheDefenceExperts: This week, we’re spotlighting Matt Thomas, our Director of Immersive Learning. Matt highlights how immersive simulated battlespaces are crucial in everyday military training. He explains how Calian is providing an immersive training environment for a "train-as-you-fight" experience and how Calian’s recent collaboration with Microsoft is helping to shape next-generation synthetic training. 📖 Read the full interview here👉 https://lnkd.in/eJFDhNam to learn about how simulation-based military training can assist NATO’s largest exercises. #CalianDefence #NATO #MilitaryTraining #CombatReadiness #MilitarySimulation #MilitaryReadiness #EmergingTechnologies 

Whether you’re an educator or an officer, a CEO or a citizen, you should know that the continued investment in our military is an investment in our collective defense and our nation’s leadership in this world. Please consider reading a piece I co-authored with two incredible joint officers and its companion piece by Commander Doug Morea in the most recent issue of Joint Forces Quarterly (Vol. 114). “Jointness as Virtue: Increasing the Value of Joint Qualification to the Joint Force and Services” Abstract: Ιn “Balancing Nonresident Joint Professional Military Education With Military Life,” Commander Doug Morea makes the salient point that the current joint professional military education (JPME) process fails the individual joint warfighter in preparing for the challenges of serving in combatant commands and other joint forces. As joint educators, we agree with Commander Morea’s premise and offer that the current JPME model not only fails the individual joint warfighter but is also wholly inadequate for what the joint force requires both today and in an uncertain future. From the start, the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense (DOD) Reorganization Act of 1986 enshrined JPME and the joint qualification process as a forcing function to reduce unhelpful parochialism and achieve unified action. Even today, a compromised system still exists, lacking standardization across the enterprise and persistently delivering educated officers too late and short in supply at all echelons of the joint force.
