Bill Moran, the U.S. Navy&#8217;s chief of personnel, said Tuesday in his keynote address at the Interservice\/Industry Training, Simulation and Education (I\/ITSEC) conference in Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a shrinking budget, the military has to learn to do more with less and get more out of its training through simulation, according to Moran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the services also need to ramp-up modeling what it will be like to fight adversaries with growing war-fighting capabilities, such as electronic and cyber warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, Russia&#8217;s use of innovative electronic warfare tactics against Ukraine over the last year has served as a wake-up call for US forces training Ukrainian soldiers in theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of training systems starting to emerge that incorporate what it&#8217;s like to fight while stressed or hurt is encouraging, Moran said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>.oembed-asset-link { background: #fff; border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e1e1; }.oembed-link-anchor { display: block; clear: both; }.oembed-link-thumbnail{ float: left; padding: 14px; }.oembed-link-thumbnail img { max-width: 78px; max-height: 60px; display: block; }p.oembed-link-title { font-size: 75%; color: #009BFF; margin: 0 14px; padding-top: 12px; font-weight:normal; text-align: left; line-height: 120%;  }p.oembed-link-desc { font-size: 100%; color: #666; font-weight: normal; margin: 0 14px 14px 14px; font-family: 'Futura Today Light'; text-align: left; line-height: 120%; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Those are the types of things we have to look at,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t really had to fight hurt. &#8230; We are going to have to learn to do that because it&#8217;s going to come to us at some point.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moran noted, however, that he was not necessarily talking about incurring damage from missile attacks or other kinetic means, but through cyber attacks or electronic warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development of live, virtual, constructive (LVC) training is valuable in addressing some of the challenges the US military faces when it comes to preparing the services to fight, Moran said. LVC combines a mix of live and virtual training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an F-16 pilot in a live training flight can transmit data to another F-16 pilot in a simulator on the ground. The F-16 pilot in the simulator can fly as the airborne F-16 pilot&#8217;s wingman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While LVC is &#8220;exciting,&#8221; Moran said, he was &#8220;disappointed&#8221; that the hope last year at I\/ITSEC to improve common standards across the services has not been achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are not there yet,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That is on us on the uniform side. We have got to get together and get to common standards to drive the cost down.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LVC aside, there&#8217;s still room to improve the way the Navy trains, Moran said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moran said that the Navy brings in 40,000 people in any given year, and that, each year, 30,000 or so are in training at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are moving in excess of 90,000 people every year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If you do the math &#8230; remember we only have 326,000 people in the Navy, those ratios are awful for anyone running a business. They are primarily driven by sea-shore rotation, but they are also largely driven by how congested and slow our training pipes are.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, Moran said, the Navy needs to figure out how to pick up the pace and get more out of training. This means having better insight into the talent and skills of sailors coming into the fleet, but also recognizing that training &#8220;from boot camp all the way to the fleet and beyond&#8221; has to &#8220;fundamentally change.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>.oembed-asset-link { background: #fff; border-bottom: 1px solid #e1e1e1; }.oembed-link-anchor { display: block; clear: both; }.oembed-link-thumbnail{ float: left; padding: 14px; }.oembed-link-thumbnail img { max-width: 78px; max-height: 60px; display: block; }p.oembed-link-title { font-size: 75%; color: #009BFF; margin: 0 14px; padding-top: 12px; font-weight:normal; text-align: left; line-height: 120%;  }p.oembed-link-desc { font-size: 100%; color: #666; font-weight: normal; margin: 0 14px 14px 14px; font-family: 'Futura Today Light'; text-align: left; line-height: 120%; }<\/style>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Training methods and technology need to be more modular and mobile to deliver training opportunities to sailors wherever they are, Moran said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy has had some success stories, Moran added, such as its Digital Tutor, which helps train information-technology warriors more quickly. The training program has tightened up from 37 weeks to 27 weeks, and those who graduate are &#8220;on par with instructors.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the Navy&#8217;s not resting on those laurels. The service is now working on an advanced version that it plans to extend to sailors across the service, Moran said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, the littoral combat ship was built with training in mind from the beginning, he said, which means it has &#8220;tremendous simulation capability.&#8221; The Navy is now looking at how to introduce avatars into that training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moran also said he was worried about the commercial world looking elsewhere to do business. The commercial training industry has started to see the value of simulation training in other areas outside of Defense Department applications, and it could divert its attention there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We in DoD owe our industry partners a little bit more love here,&#8221; he said, &#8220;to keep this moving forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moran warned that if the military is unable to reduce the cost of training people, it will be unable to afford platforms to provide capability that will be needed in the future. To do that, the services have to achieve commonality in their approaches to training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email:\u00a0<a
