Soldiers stationed in the continental United States trained for war at the NTC at Fort Irwin, California in a setting as close as possible to the reality of combat. Chapters 1-4 focus on the initial conceptualization, the choice of Fort Irwin, and the early problems. Descriptions of the training evaluation and instrumentation system utilized at the Center precede explanations of the NTC experience and are detailed in chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 7 presents information on the lessons learned, and chapter 8 describes the United States Air Force presence at the National Training Cente:.
