Garrett Loeffelman, a modeling and simulation officer at Training and Education Command\u2019s Range and Training Programs Division, discussed the technology Thursday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/modern-day-marine\/\" target=\"_blank\">during the Modern Day Marine expo<\/a> in Washington. He pitched a prospective \u201cvirtual Range 400\u201d \u2014 a reference to the Corps\u2019 most realistic live-fire range at Twentynine Palms, California, used to train company-level elements in complex combat tasks, such as attacking fortified positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every aspect of that grunt company, from the mortars to the combined arms, he said, could be replicated and networked in the LVCTE while participants experience the training in real time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe only time you get to do that [now] in a full-up, high-fidelity experience is out at Twentynine Palms,\u201d Loeffelman said. \u201cImagine if you\u2019re a company commander at Camp Lejeune: You can train all of those skill sets. You can even bring them together with your squad leaders and above.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The version of LVC-TE that\u2019s set to roll out is referred to as a \u201cminimum viable solution.\u201d Loeffelman said command officials plan to collect feedback from Marines on the simulators in order to improve the planned future iterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re not replacing Range 400 with these systems,\u201d Col. James Kidd, director of the Range and Training Programs Division, confirmed. \u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re making the live-fire portion when you get to Range 400 much more beneficial to the user.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three headquarters of the Marine expeditionary force will feature an LVC-TE setup by 2025, as will Marine Corps Base Hawaii \u2014 a key location because of its collocation with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command\u2019s Pacific Warfighting Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Lomangino, LVC-TE team lead, reiterated plans to network simulated training among the armed services in hopes of launching large-scale joint exercises that are completely virtual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t fight by ourselves, right? We don\u2019t fly by ourselves,\u201d he said. \u201cSo this has to be connected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But some kinks must still be worked out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s the technical \u201cfair fight\u201d problem present in live simulations, in which an environment can\u2019t update quickly enough, leaving two war-fighters to encounter different scenarios and unequal challenges. Presenters on Thursday said that problem still exists and will probably be present for years due to immature technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also unclear how virtual training involving, for example, air and ground combat elements will coordinate with legacy Marine Corps training and readiness standards that don\u2019t have a category for such an exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Loeffelman acknowledged a \u201cgap,\u201d but said planners are working to refine training manuals and push for communication and coordination improvements across disparate units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a cultural aspect, too, particularly when it comes to red tape around Marines operating on a network for training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy can a battalion commander sign off on the risk of a live-fire training exercise, but it takes essentially a [general officer] to sign off on the risk of spillage?\u201d he wondered. \u201cThese are all questions we\u2019re trying to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A first iteration of the Live
