A great deal of training for future battles will take place
inside the classroom using modeling and simulation
technologies. These technologies will create
verisimilitude
-
-
a big word that means even though it's fake, it will
seem real
.
wow!
this seems
so
real
!
For all you
Star Trek
fans, think of
Captain Picard and Commander
Data fighting
simulated
bad
guys on the
Holodeck
.
Get the picture?
But
every
piece of equipment in
this
marvelous
technology
will need preventive
maintenance.
there will be
real
battlefields
for the 21
st
century
warrior. The planners
preparing to meet
the demands of
these real battles are
looking at
you,
the
soldier, as a system.
You will be a lean,
mean
fighting
machine
-
-layered with
clothing and weaponry
dictated by the mission.
And
everything
that
you wear and wield
will need
PM
.
you won't
be
alone
on that
battlefield. Weapons with
enhanced fiber optics and
vision devices that turn
night into day will
make missing a
target as
rare
as a
happy
drill sergeant. That
is, of course,
if
you've
done your
PM
.
