13 Winter 2016 The intent of this article is to energize combat developers and program managers to broaden the horizon and encour- age Soldiers, Department of Defense civilians, and contrac- tors to envision and improve cognitive analytics ideas. The defense capability allows for smaller, more agile, expedi- tionary staff and forces to be infused with an improved blue force tracker capability. MD CASE improves intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance knowledge management that is tied directly into targeting and cueing of the threat with specific detailed information. The span of systems that use sensors is provided with the unparalleled ability to focus operations from direct actions (fight) to the front, rear, and side areas with enhanced situational understanding and se- curity without syphoning combat forces or limiting capabili- ties. Wide area security, critical rear area facilities, and mo- bility corridors receive a level of protection and survivability through the ability to focus forces and resources when need- ed. Bypassed areas (areas that can become sanctuaries and marshaling positions to threat forces) and areas where no joint forces or U.S. forces are located can be monitored, and the threat can be tracked and targeted before it can control or attack from those areas of relative safety. Warnings and early warnings increase the alert time of incoming threats, and information about the severity (hazard, type of threat) and current location are provided to commanders. This criti- cal information enables protection and allows countermea- sures to limit the effect from the threat to friendly forces.

Alternatively, when required, the LVC-G unit training plan may work separately to train and sustain operations or maintenance tasks with levels of induced stress while mini- mizing the cost of actual equipment use. Conclusion Simulations can never completely replace live training, but they have the potential to train and sustain to high lev- els of proficiency without great expense and risk. Training deficiencies can be quickly identified, and shortcomings can be immediately addressed with rapid follow-on training or identified as future training requirements. A comprehensive LVC-G strategy should be developed to leverage the explo- sion of technology to meet the needs of the 2025 battlefield. Acknowledgement: Special thanks to Ms. Joan M.
