The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are gearing up for the second “Large Scale Exercise,” a global training exercise that uses virtual reality simulations to synchronize naval operations.
The live, virtual, constructive exercise will use real-world intelligence as part of a simulated scenario, putting 25,000 sailors and marines on a “road to war” in which they interact with each other and adversaries in a cyber battlespace — no different than a multiplayer video game.
“We want to stress the three- and four-star admirals and their staffs at that operational level with large fleet-centric maneuvers. But we also want to stress all the way down to the individual sailor manning a radar station or marine at a weapons system.
This exercise looks to encompass all of that,” said Capt. Chris Narducci of the Fleet Forces Interoperability Division. The exercise will run from Aug. 9-18. It occurs every two years and spans 50 commands, including six carrier strike groups, three amphibious readiness groups, and 25 submarines and ships.
Participating in the exercise are three Hampton Roads-based carrier strike groups: the Dwight D. Eisenhower, George H.W. Bush and Harry S. Truman. Live training will be conducted by sailors and marines at sea, while those pierside or at a shore location will participate virtually.
