Gen. Gary Brito, spoke about all of the many moving parts across the Army and what the maneuver force\u2019s center is doing to move the needle further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBroadly speaking on all that we\u2019re doing here is increasing lethality and proficiency for the entire maneuver force,\u201d Brito said in an interview with Army Times leading up to the Association of the United States Army\u2019s annual meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of that started with big changes last year in infantry One Station Unit Training which will become the new infantry OSUT for all this month as armor OSUT starts its pilot phase of transformation at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of October, 10 cycles of infantry OSUT will have completed the 22-week transformation, Brito said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That included more weapons, land navigation, combat lifesaver, urban, platform and other skills training. And delivering a finished product, not a work-in-progress, soldier to the operational forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn short, we\u2019ve moved beyond familiarization to proficiency to increase lethality across the infantry force,\u201d Brito said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And a new, more combat-oriented, way of both training and qualifying soldiers with their weapons, also recently emerged and is being conducted by OSUT trainees. That\u2019s the \u201cDot-40,\u201d an overall to Army individual weapons training strategy that was released in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those same OSUT soldiers have also been immersed in the new Army Combat Fitness Test, something that the rest of the forces still has time to adapt to before they are taking it for score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And MCOE doesn\u2019t just get to simply focus on the foundational and demanding training they must deliver. They\u2019re also closely tied in with key cross functional teams, especially Soldier Lethality, Synthetic Training Environment, and even Next Generation Combat Vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s, in part, because each of the teams, regardless of their aim, start and end with the individual soldier, and that\u2019s where MCOE links in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And more advancements are coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brito said that MCOE is \u201cleaning forward aggressively\u201d with robotics. That will mean unmanned-manned teaming experimentation and evaluation with portions of MCOE that will mean early testing of tangible technology with the soldiers who\u2019ll be using it closest to the enemy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here, there&#8217;s more focus on combat and more advancements on the
