- Coalition VIRTUAL FLAG is an opportunity
for our coalition and joint departments
to get together.
It's a theater level exercise that we can practice
our tactics, techniques and procedures.
It takes place in the virtual and simulated world
with environment generators that replicate
the exact threats that we're facing.
- CVF benefits the war fighter by giving them
the unique ability to work face to face with joint
and coalition partners that they don't normally get
in a live environment.
This venue gives them the ability
to have that face to face contact from planning all
the way to execution for the next two weeks,
which makes them a better war fighter.
- Today's war fighter needs to be ready
to take on any challenge and in the future
and as of now we have limited resources
and limited budget to do that.
So any chance that we have to exercise
with our coalition partners is a plus.
And this facility pioneers the way for us to do that
by allowing the UK, Australia, Canada and ourselves,
to all virtually exercise together during a flag.
