The Division of Military and Naval affairs would like to create a better environment and better training for our soldiers. We want to make Virtual video Gaming Training the primary training for those who are going to be in the field of the Division of Military and Naval affairs.
This is going to provide a better future for our soldiers, military and naval, with this new training they will have the best training possible and they will be prepare for any war in the sense of how it feels to be in a war and how to react at that point. This training will save lives, we just want the best for our soldiers. We need to get more funding to make this happen, with this training everything will be more efficient on this is going to help the economy of United States and will make a safer United States.
"This system gives the power of simulation to the squad in order to close the gap of individual Soldier training and collective training," said John Matthews, project director,
Assistant Project Manager for Close Combat Tactical Trainers. "You can mold the situation, and you can do it as many times as you want and give younger guys a chance to step up and be leaders. I can see us in the future using this system to conduct rehearsals," said Sgt. Charles
Haywood, team leader, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat
Team, 82nd Airborne Division.”
This virtual reality used to train soldiers in new training simulator will give them more knowledge, skills and more courage to do things faster and to make the best decision for their team and their self. With this System almost all who participate in this accomplish the goal of the team. This training give them another vision of how it feels because this training is a simulator that everything that happens in the game they can feel it. This is why it is Virtual Gaming
Training, some soldiers who already took this training when they kill someone and they wake up
and see that person they cannot believe it because it feels so real that they just say “how come you are alive if I killed you”.
This is one of the best investment that anyone can do because will bring new techniques and skills to the military. “The U.S. military market for combat and weapon simulators currently is valued at about $5 billion a year, according to industry surveys. With training services included, it is an $11billionayear business, says Gene Colabatistto, group president of military products and training services at CAE, a leading manufacturer of flight simulators, based in
Montreal, Quebec.”
These costs could include expenses for aircrew to travel to simulator locations, additional contractor personnel to schedule and operate simulators, and the purchase of additional simulators to meet increased demand, the report says. “According to Air Force officials, identifying virtual training costs is challenging because funds to support virtual training and distributed mission operations are dispersed across multiple program elements.” These military need a better training and another reason to fight for what we believe.
“The live training cost of one F15E flight hour, for instance, is about $17,449, and the plan would be to cut 1,782 hours from future training and save $31 million. Similar calculations were made for each of the Air Force’s fleets. The problem, GAO argues, is that the Air Force has not “developed a methodology to collect and track information on the cost of its virtual training program.” This training is going to be really expense but then, in the future this is going to make the
USA save a lot money and time for a better preparation. This is something that we need to step in
the next level. Now we have a lot advance in technology and we need to take the risk and do it,
