What does BCTC stand for?

At Fort Lewis' Battle Command Training Center, the admiral said he saw new doctrine being incorporated into training scenarios at a fraction of the time it once took.

A battle command training center will replicate and train for brigade and battalion command and control and tactical operations, and an engagement skills train-er will simulate training for small- and large-arms weapons.

The Battle Command Training Center (BCTC) or BCTC hub is a digital systems training asset available on most major installations with little or no expense to the unit.

The battle command training center will feature 64 digital workstations installed by Alabama-based AEgis Technologies.

Under the five-year, single-award contract, L-3 Titan Group will provide constructive simulation support to the USAREUR's eight Battle Command Training Centers in Germany, Italy and elsewhere in the USAREUR area of responsibility, as well as technical support to USAREUR exercises at the Warrior Preparation Center and subject matter expertise/exercise planning support to USAREUR G-3.

What we're trying to do, in near real-time, is take lessons learned from what's going on in Mosul everyday, and crank it back into the training we're doing here," said Bobby Jolley, director of the Battle Command Training Center on post.
