What can you hope to take away from Land Forces Training 2024?

• Modernize your land forces by adopting modern, progressive doctrine that assures your preparedness for multi-domain operations and future large-scale peer nation conflict
• Provide a more realistic, immersive collective training experience to the next generation of war fighters through leveraging commercial synthetics and virtual, mixed and augmented reality technologies
• Benchmark your training models and acquisition initiatives with NATO partners and technology leaders to achieve deeper integration, reduce delivery costs and establish mutual understanding about the evolution of the enterprise
• Optimize collective training output and demonstrate training effectiveness through the use of advanced big data capture and exploitation technologies
• Maximize the effectiveness of your training delivery by establishing lasting relationships with military and industry training partners and debriefing joint training exercises to improve interoperability
  

In 2023 IDGA conducted a survey looking to provide insight into the ever-changing domain that is Land Forces Training. We are delighted to share with you the results of this survey!

In this survey, we asked military, academic, government agency, and industry stakeholders to share their thoughts on the current state of play and the future of the domain.

The results give insight into the following:

> Barriers to mission readiness
> Opinions of Synthetic Training vs Live Training
> Dissonance in priorities between military and industry

Curious to see who will be attending Land Forces Training Summit where attendees gain unrivalled insights from senior military leaders from the U.S. and allied nations?

Speaking at our event, Colonel Steve Banks delivers this exclusive interview in preparation for our Land Forces Training Conference. This piece is ideal for anyone wanting to better understand NATO efforts in training the next warfighter. It maps out the current priorities of the Modelling and Simulation Learning Technology branch as well as the technologies that have caught its attention. Furthermore, it delves into the impact the Ukrainian War on training concepts.

In the age of near-peer competition, the warfighter must be ready to take on more challenges than ever before. To prepare the warfighter training must adapt to suit the needs of the battlefields of the future which will arguably be more complex and lethal. We had the privilege of interviewing the Major-General Roch Pelletier, Commander of the Canadian Army Doctrine and Training Centre (CADTC). Here he delves into:

• How CADTC is preparing Canadian forces for future combat in the current geopolitical landscape.
• The role technology and industry play in training the warfighter.
• How to set the appropriate limitations for training.
  

As our doctrine shifts towards multidomain warfare, our training and simulation tools must also adapt. Partner to the Land Forces Training 2024 conference, Team Orlando’s mission is to maximize DoD resources to deliver these first-rate training capabilities to the nation’s Warfighters by coalescing the training, simulation, and modelling communities. Find more about Team Orlando’ efforts by reading this interview with the organization’s Director, Daniel Torgler.

Professor David Benson delivers commentary on the evolving area of study of video games in the military. He delves into how video games play a critical role in “force development” and maintaining readiness and why it is a worthy area of study. In his preliminary research, he covers:

• Gaps in the public research
• What video games offer the military domain
• How video games can help to maximize the proficiency of our forces
• A call to action for further study across stakeholders
  

Land Forces Training is a complex, multifaceted domain in constant evolution as new technologies and ways to fight emerge. In this survey, we asked several representatives from military, academic, industry and government backgrounds to answer questions based on the current state of play and the future of the domain. The results were both revealing and surprising as they gave insight into the following:

• The barriers to mission readiness
• The opinions of Synthetic Training vs Live Training
• The dissonance in priorities between the military and industry
  

The importance of training cannot be understated. The age-old axiom of “the more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat” remains as true as ever. In this piece, IDGA gives a quick birds-eye-view of the key training initiatives happening world-wide in 2023; ideal for someone wanting a quick update in the latest happening in the domain.
