Every Soldier Is a Sensor (ES2) Simulation: Virtual Simulation Using Game Technology

摘要

In late 2003, the Army G2 began developing the concepts for Actionable Intelligence, one of the Army Chief of Staff's Focus Areas. Directly tied to Actionable Intelligence was the fundamental idea that "Every Soldier is a Sensor" (ES2). The Army, Task Force Actionable Intelligence, and the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRA-DOC) immediately began working on the problem of improving soldiers' observation and reporting skills. Equipment and technology for soldiers on the ground to provide "point of origin" information in real time to intelligence analysts-then back to the leaders and soldiers-is making great strides. All soldiers must be information collectors because there are no longer any "front lines."
