WEBVTT 00:02.809 --> 00:05.690 We have a ton of opportunity and a ton 00:05.690 --> 00:08.170 of capability inside the 7th Army 00:08.170 --> 00:10.529 Training Command . Here in Germany down 00:10.529 --> 00:12.751 in Bavaria , we have the opportunity to 00:12.751 --> 00:15.210 use our combat training center down 00:15.210 --> 00:17.620 between Hoen bells and also Gramer to 00:17.620 --> 00:19.731 utilize some of our equipment what we 00:19.731 --> 00:21.787 call the Bali experimental Complex . 00:22.090 --> 00:23.757 That's where we want to bring 00:23.757 --> 00:25.423 everything together , get the 00:25.423 --> 00:27.368 stakeholders together , experiment 00:27.368 --> 00:29.450 forward . Apply the lessons learned 00:29.450 --> 00:31.617 forward because of our disposition and 00:31.617 --> 00:33.783 not send people back , but that should 00:33.783 --> 00:35.894 help us accelerate how we modernize . 00:35.894 --> 00:38.006 We got to be able to defend and to be 00:38.006 --> 00:40.006 able to quickly transition into the 00:40.006 --> 00:42.061 offense . So I have Mark Madden that 00:42.061 --> 00:44.228 heads our simulations command . I have 00:44.228 --> 00:46.169 CJ Kirkpatrick , who's the combat 00:46.169 --> 00:48.225 training Center commander , and then 00:48.225 --> 00:50.447 Major General Neeson , who's the deputy 00:50.447 --> 00:52.391 commander for Multi National Corps 00:52.391 --> 00:54.447 Northeast . Yes sir . Thanks for the 00:54.447 --> 00:56.613 opportunity . So Mark Madden , I'm the 00:56.613 --> 00:58.613 director of the Joint Multinational 00:58.613 --> 01:00.780 Simulation Center . Simply put , we do 01:00.780 --> 01:03.009 Title 10 home station training . So for 01:03.009 --> 01:04.809 US forces Title 10 home station 01:04.809 --> 01:07.529 training through 3 MTCs , the one that 01:07.529 --> 01:09.730 exists in Gravere , the one that is in 01:09.730 --> 01:11.952 Kaiser Slaughter , and then there's one 01:11.952 --> 01:14.730 down in Vicenza . We bring simulation 01:14.730 --> 01:17.300 capabilities to the point of need if 01:17.300 --> 01:19.209 necessary or at home station to 01:19.209 --> 01:20.987 facilitate commander's training 01:20.987 --> 01:23.098 objectives . My name is Kirkpatrick , 01:23.098 --> 01:24.765 commander of Oro at the Joint 01:24.765 --> 01:27.136 Multinational Center at Holenfels . 01:28.106 --> 01:30.050 It's the United States Army's only 01:30.050 --> 01:32.217 forward station combat training center 01:32.217 --> 01:34.273 and combat training center . What we 01:34.273 --> 01:36.495 have , what we bring as a capability is 01:36.495 --> 01:38.662 we have a dedicated opposition force , 01:38.662 --> 01:40.828 the 14 infantry warrior battalion that 01:40.828 --> 01:42.773 we commit to be the most devious , 01:42.773 --> 01:44.939 hardest enemy that any unit that comes 01:44.939 --> 01:46.939 to train at JMRC . It should be the 01:46.939 --> 01:48.939 hardest fight they get is from that 01:48.939 --> 01:50.939 opposition force . It's part of the 01:50.939 --> 01:53.106 organization . We've collected about a 01:53.106 --> 01:55.273 brigade's worth of the best leadership 01:55.273 --> 01:57.050 across the army to serve as the 01:57.050 --> 01:59.217 operations group to provide feedback , 01:59.217 --> 02:00.995 AAR's coaching , teaching , and 02:00.995 --> 02:02.939 mentoring to units as they train . 02:02.939 --> 02:04.884 Generally we train about 20,000 to 02:04.884 --> 02:06.802 30,000 leaders , soldiers , and 02:06.802 --> 02:08.962 non-commissioned officers from across 02:08.962 --> 02:11.129 the alliance in the United States Army 02:11.129 --> 02:13.351 every single year . I'm a Major General 02:13.351 --> 02:15.184 Brian . I'm the commander of the 02:15.184 --> 02:17.295 embassy Northeast . We on an everyday 02:17.295 --> 02:19.970 basis deter the adversary . I wish I'm 02:19.970 --> 02:22.610 ready to defend RAO against any 02:22.610 --> 02:25.860 aggression . We don't just train , we 02:25.860 --> 02:28.220 operate on a daily basis . So across 02:28.220 --> 02:31.490 the board , actually 7HSC is supporting 02:31.490 --> 02:33.860 the readiness of the alliance . And you 02:33.860 --> 02:36.779 know , having been to JMRC , having 02:36.779 --> 02:38.779 spent some time in the box with the 02:38.779 --> 02:41.112 command center media as well , bank 140 . 02:41.699 --> 02:45.000 We recognize the qualities that 780C 02:45.000 --> 02:47.669 brings to the European theater . We are 02:47.669 --> 02:49.391 very grateful for the training 02:49.391 --> 02:51.502 opportunities that are being provided 02:51.502 --> 02:54.880 to allies and partners to 7 . But it's 02:54.880 --> 02:57.047 not going to be the industry that wins 02:57.047 --> 02:59.158 the war . It'll be the brigade combat 02:59.158 --> 03:01.158 teams on the ground that take . and 03:01.158 --> 03:00.929 actually put boots on the ground . I 03:00.929 --> 03:03.096 think that's the one thing from all of 03:03.096 --> 03:04.929 us that we have in common is the 03:04.929 --> 03:07.149 ability to take and transform while 03:07.149 --> 03:09.205 we're in contact , but to be able to 03:09.205 --> 03:11.427 maximize the capabilities you currently 03:11.427 --> 03:13.889 have on a modern battlefield so we can 03:13.889 --> 03:16.111 now institute this technology and these 03:16.111 --> 03:16.410 upgrades .
