The Army is fielding a new Stryker combat vehicle virtual trainer in Germany to help boost the readiness of its soldiers.
The trainer was fielded at the Joint Multinational Simulation Center — which is based in Grafenwoehr, Germany — in January. The system was slated to undergo its first training session in March, said Joe Mercer, the center’s chief of tactical gaming. It was built by the Army Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center.
Soldiers can practice both dismounted and mounted operations on the system, allowing them to practice a “full spectrum of operations,†he said. The trainer is a mock-up of a Stryker that has the same dimensions, he noted.
