A TRADOC organization asked me to share their latest endeavor with you. The Training Brain Operations Center Systems Integration Modeling and Simulation is making 3D simulation training aids to help educate leaders and soldiers on various tasks. But I guess they’re havng trouble getting the word out on their products, so they want me to help them. Here’s an example of their work Establishing a Patrol Base;
According to their email “Training Brain Operations Center Systems Integration Modeling and Simulation (TBOC SIMS) is a US Army TRADOC G2 organization that transforms actual combat events into unclassified 3D visualizations and gaming products within 96 hours.”
Their social media sites are at Facebook and Twitter.
I hope you active duty guys take advantage of these great training aids. The fellow, Brian, who wrote us said “…a Private or 2LT can request a video or VBS2 product from us and it costs him and his unit nothing.”
TBOC SIMS provides tailored M&S Support that includes:
Full battle event recreations (for example the Battle of Ganjgal)
Geospatial terrain products
Lesson Plan conversions to Windows Media File (WMV) from Power Point briefings
Smartphone applications
MMOG Development
Yeah, I know, I’m just a tool of Big Army.
Now if only the Fort Benning servers had enough bandwidth for me to watch that without having to drop the resolution to 240, I’d be in business.
TBOC. Fishin’ for a mission.
@ElMarco, just curious, what aspect of TBOC doesn’t currently support specific training and is “fishin’ for a mission”?
I’ll have to check this out some more. Browsing the video above gave me a flashback to first learning all of that on Sand Hill before having it hammered home as an E-2 at my first assignment. Now, as an E-6 with over seven years out of the line Infantry (TOG still trains and conducts STXs and such, but emphasis is not placed on field maneuvers) I could use some refreshing, not to mention a valuable tool to give my Soldiers a better understanding of what we do.
@fm2176, shoot us an email (tbocsims at gmail) from your Army email account and we’ll send you more info. Maybe we can put together a video to help you out.
