76TH OPERATIONAL RESPONSE COMMAND

Salt Lake City, Utah

Soldiers of the 371st Chemical Company out of Greenwood, S.C., are training Reconfigurable Vehicle Tactical Trainer (RVTT) during Operation Cold Steel held at Fort McCoy, Wis., March 12, 2017. The RVTT is a collective training simulator that trains crews on tactics, techniques, and procedures in a virtual environment. The trainer provides units the opportunity to rehearse convoy operations and mounted patrols prior to conducting live-fire gunnery. Operation Cold Steel is a new individual/crew and collective live fire exercise in the Army Reserve taking place Mar 8 to April 25 at Fort McCoy, Wis. The crew-served and platform qualifications are identified as key foundational elements of a unit’s training assessments. In accordance with “Objective T” requirements for 76th Division (OR) Army Early Response Forces (AERF) units, all units must now conduct annual crew-served and platform qualifications in accordance to meet directed readiness objectives. The intent of the AERF is to preserve readiness and increase responsiveness of select capabilities required for contingent sourcing. The AERF construct will accomplish this intent by providing predictable requirements for reserve units.
