FORT STEWART, Ga. -- Soldiers of Company B, 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division conducted training with the Live, Virtual, Constructive-Integrating Architecture at Evans Army Airfield, Fort Stewart, Georgia, March 29-31.

The LVC-IA is a multiple-scenario training simulation that prepares Soldiers through engaging scenarios field training cannot support and offers a variety of operational variables.

"[LVC-IA] enables the unit to use these other assets or enablers in an easier manner than if they were out doing this live training," said Maj. Jamell Carr, requirement and lead fielding observer.

By using LVC-IA, Co. B Soldiers were able to more thoroughly test their M3A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles' capabilities.

"We normally have restrictions on where we can go, what we can do with our vehicles," said 1st Lt. Colby Miller, platoon leader with Co. B. when referring to safety and environmental conditions on Fort Stewart "This allows us to have no limits when implementing everything."

"In Fort Stewart especially, we're unable to use our Bradleys at the max capabilities, for example running over trees or running through different types of scenarios or maneuvering through vast terrains," Miller said.

The system enables trainees to interact with other units such as aviation, field artillery and engineers. They may encounter such scenarios during their upcoming mission as Immediate Reaction Company for XVIII Airborne Corps's Global Response Force.

"It allows us to understand their capabilities so we can better implement them when we actually go in real life," Miller said. "We can understand their capabilities better to complete the mission."

Company B Soldiers practiced communicating with each other during LVC-IA training.

"You have to give a lot clearer, concise guidance in operating in these type of systems," Miller said. "You can't really point them out to where they need to go, you have to explain to them through radio. You have to learn to speak quickly give them clear, quick, concise guidance in order for them to execute the plan properly."
