Increasing Army’s Live/Virtual/Constructive EW Training

Since its establishment just ten years ago, the U.S. Army’s Cyber and Electromagnetic Warfare School has seen unprecedented growth. Beginning with Officer training in 2015 followed by Warrant Officer training in 2016, culminating with Enlisted training in 2017, the School saw an over 500% increase in student through-put over the next five years. As the School continues to grow in size, it matures in its ability to use Live/Virtual/Constructive (L/V/C) capabilities.
In preparation for Fort Eisenhower’s Davis Range, the Cyber and Intelligence Centers of Excellent crafted and submitted an Electromagnetic Spectrum operations portion for the Army’s future Multi-Domain Operations Range Guide. The School is now working on the publication of The Total Army Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) & Counter-EW Training and Education Strategy.
Supporting the future implementation of this Strategy, the School is also working on a set of Cyber and EW Training Strategy technical circulars. As part of the strategy, EW pilot training is underway at the Maneuver Center of Excellence for Initial Military Training and Professional Military Education and will expand to all Centers of Excellence which will provide Soldiers a basic understanding of EW capabilities.
When complete, Soldiers and leaders will have technical circulars supporting both institutional and operational training domains with a thorough integration of L/V/C capabilities.
