Adestramento de Estados-Maiores Conjuntos com emprego de simulação construtiva

Abstract

Combat Simulation, as a tool to supportmilitary training, has achieved tangible results over the past two decades in the Armed Forces of Brazil. Employed in its three dimensions, virtual, constructive and live, is an undeniable tool in improving the quality of training of troops and soldiers, saving considerable resources, reducing damage to equipment and risks of harm to people and to the environment. Despite this success, Brazil does not yet have a centralized policy for combat simulation, and this task is been done by each of its services isolately. The current combat simulation system in Brazil is fragmented within the services, which have been prioritizing the training of its unique capabilities instead of creating a combined capability. Among the military, interaction through combat simulation only occurs once a year in a General Staff exercise performed by the students of Army Command and Staff College (ECEME), the Navy War College (EGN) and the Air Force Command and Staff College (ECEMAR) in which just a dozen of military act as a joint staff officer. There is not, therefore, a simulation system that enables the training of joint staffs at the strategic and the operational levels. As a result, we don´t take advantage of the enormous benefits that the use of a joint simulation system could bring. This paperwork is willing to deepen this topic, discussing the appropriate model of joint operations simulation system to meet the staffs training needs, particularly at the strategic and the operational levels.
