What do simulations provide to leaders in a training environment?

Simulations serve as effective training alternatives when opportunities for live training are limited. In many scenarios, especially when resources, time, or conditions do not permit live exercises, simulations can provide a robust platform for leaders to develop and refine their skills. They offer a controlled and safe environment where leaders can engage in decision-making processes, strategize, and practice tactics that they would use in real-world situations.

Furthermore, simulations can replicate various scenarios and environments without the logistical challenges and risks associated with actual field training exercises. This flexibility allows for a wider range of training experiences that can be tailored to specific needs, making it an invaluable tool in the development of leadership skills within the Army.
