The ability of armed forces to conduct the full range of military operations, regardless of a posed threat, is contingent upon how well units are manned, equipped, trained and led. To increase readiness, researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) have partnered with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps on a joint venture to use ship simulation and numerical models in the planning of amphibious assaults and littoral operations. <br/> <img src='https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jun/18/2002747999/115/75/0/200122-A-A4416-001.JPG' alt='ERDC has begun to ship simulator technology for military uses giving leaders a tool to simulate vessel landings in severe environments.' /> <br /> Fri, 18 Jun 2021 20:04:00 GMT By Carol C.
