The ETC-IS will be a deployable component of the US Army’s Maneuver Combat Training Center (MCTC) Program. The ETC-IS will be used to prepare Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) for battle within the construct of a live-training simulation. Given this training audience and construct, the ETC-IS will be considered an MCTC, along with the JMRC, JRTC, and NTC. Within the ARFORGEN readiness model, the ETC-IS will focus on Army Mission Essential Task List (METL) training support for units transitioning between the Reset/Train and Ready Force Pools. However, the ETC-IS will retain the flexibility to conduct Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRE) for units transitioning between the Ready and Available Force Pools. The ETC-IS will also be a sub-component of an existing, fixed-site MCTC Operations Group in order to gain efficiencies in facility requirements, administration, Observer / Controller (O/C) training and standardization, EXCON functions while providing MCTC Commanders flexibility in accomplishing their MCTC Program mission.
