FORT EUSTIS, Va. –
The Combined Arms Center -- Training (CAC-T) will host a Training and Education 2025 Industry Forum June 18-19 to inform industry partners of Army training and education gaps, and discuss training and education capabilities for the Army of 2025 and beyond.
On June 18, the Industry Forum will take place from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 1737 Jackson Ave. on Fort Eustis, and will feature a speech and panel presentations. The second day's event will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the same location and will offer industry representatives an opportunity to meet one-on-one with Training and Doctrine Command capability managers for training.
The first day will include a presentation about the future vision for Army training and education given by CAC's deputy commanding general for training, U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Joseph M. Martin.
There will be three panel discussions to provide information concerning the Army's training and education required capabilities and gaps identified for 2025 and beyond:
· The Future Holistic Training Environment. Panelists will cover the current status of the Army's Integrated Training Environment and the future merging of environments to provide simpler, low-overhead, easily accessible and higher-fidelity training.
· Future Army Training and Education Capabilities. Panelists will discuss the future of Army training and education, the Army Learning Model and Distributed Learning. They will discuss how the Army is leveraging technology to deliver content to Soldiers at the point of need, possible industry help in closing gaps and Army improvement efforts.
· Network Integration Evaluations Opportunities and Trainability. Panelists will present and discuss training gaps and opportunities available during upcoming Network Integration Evaluations. Panelists also will present for discussion ways that industry can help the Army deliver advanced systems that will be more intuitive for Soldiers to operate, and require less effort to learn, use and sustain.
At the conclusion of the first day, a Senior Leader General Officer Panel will discuss the priority issues confronting Army training and education and provide opportunity to dialogue with the leaders of the Army's training and education community.
