00:00.630 --> 00:03.630
- The purpose of the simulator
is to give our drivers

00:03.630 --> 00:06.514
training in real convoy situations outside

00:06.514 --> 00:08.970
the civilian training that we do.

00:08.970 --> 00:12.110
Typically back home when
we do convoys we account

00:12.110 --> 00:14.520
for civilian conditions
like traffic where we don't

00:14.520 --> 00:17.030
have any known enemies
or things of that nature.

00:17.030 --> 00:19.580
However, the virtual training
that we're about to do

00:19.580 --> 00:22.880
that's to simulate field
conditions where we can practice

00:22.880 --> 00:25.140
drills around enemies and other threats

00:25.140 --> 00:27.623
and practice everything that
we've been taught to do.

00:31.800 --> 00:35.330
The simulator is set up
in a classroom situation

00:35.330 --> 00:38.530
type environment where
there's multiple tables

00:38.530 --> 00:41.460
with multiple driving
stations with video screens,

00:41.460 --> 00:46.460
headphones, remote steering
wheel, and remote pedals.

00:46.500 --> 00:48.986
On the screen we'll
represent the environment

00:48.986 --> 00:51.160
and they're typically load up a mission

00:51.160 --> 00:54.190
with different vehicles that every soldier

00:54.190 --> 00:56.270
will be in virtually.

00:56.270 --> 00:57.700
They'll have them set
up so if they're sitting

00:57.700 --> 01:00.600
next to each other it
simulates a truck, each table.

01:00.600 --> 01:03.050
Then as part of the
simulator they will simulate

01:03.050 --> 01:06.780
driving down a route and
we'll give you an origin

01:06.780 --> 01:08.020
and destination.

01:08.020 --> 01:10.520
Throughout that mission,
that trip from point A

01:10.520 --> 01:13.550
to point B they will test
your convoy abilities

01:13.550 --> 01:16.880
such as reacting to
contact, reacting to IEDs,

01:16.880 --> 01:20.553
and if necessary performing rally points.
