Google Play, iTunes, or Mac App
store. These apps range from publication and document apps to games
and even full-fledged simulations
of operations. Each application is
formatted for various operating systems and built to function without
connectivity.
In addition, the Combined Arms
Support Command’s Training and
Technology Division has the capability to develop resources for both
the operational and institutional
communities to address any training
or learning gaps. I encourage you to
take advantage of this in-house capability to enhance your own unit’s
training and development.
E-books
E-books are another valuable
training and education media available to Soldiers through their smartphones and tablets. The Ordnance
School developed a tool to help new
advanced individual training Soldiers visually identify various munitions. The handbook displays 3-D
models of individual pieces of ordnance in a safe and controlled environment. The application leverages
each student’s iPad, allowing them
to study in and out of the classroom.
Another e-book project chronicles
the operational experiences of warfighter logisticians gathered over the
past 12 years of war. Contributors
