| Description | Created using lessons learned by soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Outside the Wire provides Army officers the opportunity to experience difficult military situations in a realistic yet virtual environment before facing them in potentially life or death situations. Using the latest in computer-based simulation technology users “play it out before they live it out”, making difficult decisions and then experiencing the consequences of those choices. Outside the Wire covers the training of Forward Support Company Junior Officers during pre-deployment, deployment, combat, and sustainment support operations with learning objectives that include leadership, handling insubordination, improvisation, accountability, socializing, troop morale, managing family issues, setting standards, balancing priorities and cultural awareness. |
