The Mobile Close Combat Tactical Trainer is a self-contained, virtual training system used to train units to perform in simulated combat and support roles.  The system offers several different theaters of operation during day or night and in numerous weather environments allowing units to enhance their warfighting skills.  Soldiers can train in open terrain, in forests, in cities and in the mountains.
Operations databases include Fort Irwin, California, Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Riley, Kansas, Fort Stewart, Georgia, Kosovo, Germany, Korea and Baghdad.


The system allows crews to enhance gunnery skills and safe training procedures prior to conducting live fire exercises. It can also be used to strengthen a unit's tactics, techniques, procedures, command and control abilities, and can even assist in validating elements of the unit SOP's.
Fundamental training exercises have been developed to train basic skills such as movement formations, movement techniques, contact drills, battle drills, different tactical scenarios (ie. defense, movement to contact, attack, etc...).  Custom exercises can be designed by the team to meet a unit's current training requirements. Training can range from the individual crew to Company Team and Battalion / Task Force levels.


Crews will find that the simulator interior is remarkably detailed allowing crew members to use all controls found on their actual combat vehicle. Vehicle commanders can get a 360 degree view of their battlespace in an "open-hatch" view. They also have binoculars and night vision devices at their disposal if required and drivers have their night vision capabilities.
All stations have been designed to replicate actual positions in the vehicle. Units can use this system to safely train personnel new to their position on the vehicle.
The system can replicate damage caused from combat, improper use of the equipment (thrown track, machine gun malfunctions) or randomly generated malfunctions to test the maintenance operations of the unit.


There is no end to the vehicles crews will encounter on the "battlefield". Commanders have the flexibility to incorporate artillery, mortar, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, UAV, mechanized and dismounted infantry, scouts and support vehicles into their exercise and mission plan.
Units will also face these same vehicles on the "Opposing Force". OPFOR units are controlled by M-CCTT Simulations Technicians to display a realistic array of targets for the exercise.  These OPFOR units can also be set to different  levels of proficiency (novice, competent, marksman) to further test the training unit.
A recent addition to the OPFOR and BLUFOR system is the ability to add civilians on the battlefield, civilian trucks, IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and snipers.


"Non-Traditional" Army National Guard and US Army Reserve units will also see that the M-CCTT can be a very effective tool to be included in their training program.  The training that we can provide will enhance a unit's readiness for deployment.  We can work with units to train on reporting procedures such as ACE, LACE, Spot Reports, SITREPS, 9-Line MEDEVAC Requests, IED Report, etc...  We can help units with communication within their platoon / element and command and control procedures.  Actions on contact, actions in the FOB, actions at the objective and calls for fire can also be trained in the system.  We can tailor a mission to meet your needs. 
Troop leading procedures, an integral part of any unit's mission, can also be practiced, trained and enhanced in the M-CCTT.  Units can establish, test and improve their Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) while training in the M-CCTT.
