But it will come eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI said that will never happen,\u201d Glaser recalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But then, about eight years later, when the M1A2 was introduced, the Army had the thermal viewer and instead of replacing the entire turret, they just popped the new device into the existing cap, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the kind of thinking and planning that Glaser\u2019s CFT and their partners at the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation are doing in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team has two major tasks. First, develop and deploy advanced trainers for all of the weapons systems, basic tasks and objectives the Army has for training now. Second, ensure that those simulators and training tools are embedded in all of the new modernization items that the Army is pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glaser and colleague Tim Bishop, deputy program executive officer for PEO-STRI, described a number of programs and approaches they\u2019re pursuing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-78608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg?resize=300,225 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg?resize=768,576 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,768 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1152 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Aviation-Trainer-Assessment-Carson-2.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1536 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Soldiers at Fort Carson, Colorado, tried out a prototype of the Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer-Air, which will be a part of the future Synthetic Training Environment. (Photo courtesy of the U.S. Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe point of need is eventually going to come into our modernization programs,\u201d Bishop said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to have Future Vertical Lift, ground combat systems. We need embedded training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While incorporating those training technologies on the front end for new systems is crucial, the team is spreading the gospel of better, more manageable and user-friendly training simulation packages across the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Glaser admitted that some of the messaging to industry has been confusing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, the Army touts its combat training centers such as the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, Louisiana, and the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. Leaders call them the \u201ccrown jewels\u201d of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But rotations to those CTCs are down. It\u2019s expensive. While the Army has started to send expeditionary-type packages that replicate the CTC experience to Hawaii \u2014 and has plans for another to go to Alaska in March 2022 \u2014 that\u2019s not the be-all, end-all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo improve at the lower tactical level, we need to get STE in the hands of more soldiers,\u201d Glaser said. \u201cWhere do you do that? You do that at home station.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of that will get tested out at Fort Hood, Texas, said Bishop. They\u2019re working on systems integration tasks, especially with the STE-Live Training System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The STE-LTS offers live force-on-force training, performance evaluations, analytics and after-action reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Glaser was quick to caution that simulations complement \u2014 and shouldn\u2019t replace \u2014 live training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the key is making simulations easier for soldiers. Even many current simulation trainers are cumbersome. They use dated, complicated technology that often requires a team of private contractors to run and fails too often for a commander to regularly include in their tight schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Glaser has a measuring stick for STE success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen the STE becomes so well thought of and so well used that commanders are demanding it for the deployed environment, we will have really achieved our end state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From home station to CTCs and
