Coalescent Technologies spent over a year creating a customized synthetic battlespace rehearsal system for the US Marine Corps using our own Virtual Battlefield System VBS1™. This work involved the creation of unique models, the 3D modeling of specialized weapons and equipment, the complete 3D re-creation of the actual Urban Military Training (MOUT) sites, and the development of highly specialized small unit and combined arms training scenarios.

Coalescent installed the specialized VBS1™ systems at the U.S. Marine Corps’ simulation labs, in the continental United States and overseas. Hosted at each U.S. Marine Corps simulation lab, VBS1™ allows individual Marines to participate in simulated small unit tactical operations. This recent implementation was a cooperative effort between the United States Navy, PMS-430, U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM) and Coalescent Technologies.

The U.S. Marine Corps laboratories are located at: Quantico, VA; Camp Lejeune, NC; Camp Pendleton, CA; Twenty-nine Palms, CA; Kanehoe Bay, HI; and Okinawa, Japan. In addition to its use in the simulation labs, VBS1™ has been incorporated into the Program of Instruction (POI) for the Squad Leader’s course at the Marine Corps School of Infantry (SOI) East and West.

VBS1™ is a fully interactive, three-dimensional training application with photo-realistic terrain, user-definable mission scenarios, specialized response tools and tactics, and variable environmental conditions that enhance the team training experience. After-action review support assists the instructional manager in assessing the team’s performance and in highlighting areas of improvement. VBS1™ is used to teach doctrine, tactics, techniques, critical decision-making skills, and procedures of squad and platoon offensive, defensive, and patrolling operations.
