Joint Distributed Regional Training Capacity: A Scoping Study

Current Army National land use strategy seeks to protect current training/testing areas, and address shortcomings with computer simulation, a strategy insufficient to completely meet future training and testing needs.

Description
Summary:Current Army National land use strategy seeks to protect current training/testing areas, and address shortcomings with computer simulation, a strategy insufficient to completely meet future training and testing needs. The transformation of the U.S. Army and Department of Defense (DoD) will incorporate new weapons and tactics requiring more training land and more frequent joint-Service training than current fenced installations containing tracts of contiguous land can accommodate. This document investigates the need for a joint, distributed, and regional land use strategy that will facilitate the Army and DoD's ability to develop training/testing areas and large multi-service exercises within increasingly populated areas and regions. It examines capabilities that will be required to adopt this strategy and specifies the scope of research and development efforts, analyses, and studies required to fill capability gaps. The study team determined that Army requirements were not sufficiently documented at the time of the study to recommend creation of a dedicated Joint Distributed Regional Training work package using Army applied research (6.2) funds. This team recommends that ERDC use these results as a basis to work with the Army Environmental Requirements and Technology Assessments (AERTA) process to develop validated requirements upon which to base more focused work packages.
