When there\u2019s a hit the actual damage that he or she would see in real life unfolds. This helps Marines better understand how their decisions play out on a fire mission and helps give a more realistic battle damage assessment, a core part of fire mission intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCurrently Marines cannot see simulated battlefield effects, such as munitions explosions,\u201d Koren Odermann, deputy team lead for range training systems at Marine Corps Systems Command, wrote in an email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding the support trainers helps squad leaders with tactical decision-making skills, she wrote. The aims of the program are to provide more realistic training at a fraction of live-fire training costs, enable more elements of the infantry battalion to train together and improve efficiency in call for fire skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mobile fire support trainers is set to field by late fiscal year 2019 to at least a dozen Marine Corps facilities across the globe. There will be about one device per platoon-sized unit in the Corps\u2019 ground combat forces, and more than 600 devices will be available to platoon-sized, said Col. Walt Yates, program manager for Training Systems at Marine Corps Systems Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The devices will be distributed nearly every major Marine installation from Marine Corps Bases in Hawaii, California and North Carolina. From The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia, to the Marine detachment at the Fort Sill, Oklahoma, artillery school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include both training areas and schoolhouses where close-air support and other Joint Terminal Attack Controller skills are taught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With compact size and low amount of supporting equipment, the device needs only a helmet-mounted display, battery pack and laptop, so it is likely if Marine Expeditionary Units want to take it afloat, they can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The device allows a Marine to 3-D map an area, whether a barracks parking lot, soccer field or beach, and place virtual tanks and other
