Title: Transforming Operational Training in the Combat Air Forces
Abstract: In 1997, the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Combat Command (ACC) embarked on a revolutionary path for operational readiness training of its combat crews. Initially designated as Distributed Mission Training (DMT), the program is currently called Combat Air Forces (CAF) Distributed Mission Operations (DMO). The CAF DMO program synthesizes a mission training and rehearsal environment by linking fighter, bomber, and command and control simulators into a common battlespace. In 2002, the Department of Defense (DoD) initiated a training transformation initiative; DMO became the USAF’s major component. This article discusses the training concept and technical integration challenges encountered, including competency-based training, security, technical standards, and technology development.
