![]() While this was the 'largest Warfighter exercise on record,' the TA's increase presented few challenges to the 505th CTS. Army training audience to view and train in a realistic cyberspace environment as close to what they would be viewing during real-world operations while interacting with an Air Operations Center." "The 505th CS's C4I and modeling and simulation systems created a common operating picture which allowed the U.S. Veronica Williams, 505th CS commander, Hurlburt Field, Florida. Army warfighters undergoing critical operational-level command and control exercise execution," said U.S. "Ultimately, this allowed USAF participants to provide air injects and role player responses to U.S. This data exchange is critical to any desired interactions and overall exercise fidelity.Īdditionally, with three major training audiences, there was a requirement to apportion airpower in line with the Joint Force Commander vision, which required the TAs to communicate more with one another and request capabilities instead of specific assets, enabling more efficient use of limited airpower. Army warfighters across seven training locations. WFX 21-1 was the first WFX to leverage and test this new targeting database."īased on WFX 21-1's training objectives and audience locations, the 505th CS designed and connected a realistic cyberspace environment that could seamlessly exchange mission and model systems data between U.S. "This capability enables Army warfighters to practice how they fight. "During execution, training audiences will be able to use those same doctrinally correct ABCS and processes to nominate targets, both dynamic and planned, to the joint force for execution," said Goodman. Using this targeting database, the training audience could conduct legitimate target development in the pre-STARTEX phase of a WFX using the appropriate Army Battle Command System and doctrinal processes. Army partners from the Army Joint Support Team and XVIII ABC leveraged the 505th CS's Joint Targeting Toolbox to create a joint targeting database for future WFXs. Goodman continued, "an RC is a small team that has the capability to replicate a much larger entity, often by a factor of ten or even 100 e.g., a 60-member AOC RC replicates a 1000-member AOC to include some of the fighters and multi-place aircraft."Īdditionally, U.S. "Perhaps most importantly, was the support of the 505th Combat Training Squadron, and 505th Communications Squadron, who provide the Air Operations Center RC and communication infrastructure." "Approximately 200 Airmen participated in WFX 21-1 from five locations throughout the CONUS," said Goodman. WFX 21-1 was designed to train, rehearse, team build, and contribute to the Army’s overall combat preparation. While the adversary's name doesn't match any known country, the terrain, equipment, and tactics used are based on real-world places, assets, and capabilities. WFX events are geared toward the tactical level of war during LSCO using a hybrid near-peer adversary. ![]() The XVIII Airborne Corps, 82nd Airborne Division, and the 1st Cavalry Division, and their respective subordinate units were trained to meet National Defense Strategy requirements. Michael Goodman, 505th CCW, Det 1 commander. Army two & three-star division and corps commanding generals and their staffs on LSCO an Army Chief of Staff directive to ready Soldiers for great power competition after 19-years of counterinsurgency," said U.S. Air Force's liaison during WFX 21-1 and replicated doctrinally correct air component capabilities to the U.S. The 505th CCW, Detachment 1, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, served as the U.S. ![]() Army warfighters were adequately trained for current and emerging mission sets, WFX 21-1 increased its training audience by over 2,300 personnel. WFX 21-1 was not initially planned for 12 TAs, but when WFX 20-4 and 20-5 canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic their TAs moved to WFX 21-1. The exercise directly trained over 5,300 joint warfighters and accomplished training objectives for 12 training audiences using more than two dozen different systems connecting seven sites across the country.
