Safety Requirements: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with FM 5-19, Composite Risk Management. Leaders will complete a DA Form 7566 COMPOSITE RISK MANAGEMENT WORKSHEET during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC). Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW FM , NBC Protection, FM , CBRN Decontamination.

All cables/cords are properly plugged in, sheathed, and secured along tables, walls, and ceilings. No damaged or frayed cords/cables will be used. PI will brief proper hand washing techniques, the use of hand sanitizer, and evacuation procedures. All trash will be removed daily. Leader Actions: Detailed in-brief covering all aspects of safety to include daily classroom inspections, spills cleaned immediately, emergency exit plans, leader checks, hygiene procedures, and weekly safety briefings.
Environmental Considerations: Note: Instructor should conduct a Risk Assessment to include Environmental Considerations IAW FM , Environmental Considerations {MCRP 4-11B}, and ensure students are briefed on hazards and control measures. Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to FM Environmental Considerations and GTA ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.

Facilitator’s Note: (Facilitator read and facilitate discussion using the slide)
VSAT is a software-driven, small-dish, transportable, satellite terminal used for reliable connectivity. Used in conjunction with CAISI, it permits the receipt and transmission of data and voice over internet protocol via the NIPRNET from anywhere in the world to anyplace in the world. Together with CAISI, VSAT has given the TSC the communication asset it needs to manage and maintain mission command sustainment support across the theater. VSAT provides forward deployed sustainment units a communication capability for sustainment automated systems that is substantially the same as in the garrison environment.
(FM 1-0, Para 3-171)
The Brigade S-1 section relies on non-secure, secure, and continuous digital information systems. Their success depends on the availability of both secure and non-secure data and voice systems which requires close coordination with the brigade signal staff officer (S-6). NIPRNET connectivity is provided by either very small aperture terminal (VSAT) , Combat-Service-Support Automated Information Systems Interface (CAISI) or with the Joint Network Node. (FM 1-0, Para 2-39).
SIPRNET connectivity is coordinated through the battalion S-6. The S-1 ensures the S-6 includes DTAS in the battalion SIPRNET bandwidth requirement. Secure voice data is critical to remain linked to subordinate companies and the brigade S-1. Additionally, the S-1 section requires access to FBCB2, Blue Force Tracker, or similar systems to allow secure text capability with subordinate companies. (FM 1-0, Para 2-42).
The Battalion section S-1 depends on the availability of both secure and non-secure voice and data systems requiring NIPRNET and SIPRNET connectivity with sufficient bandwidth to facilitate web-based applications. The S-1 section uses various HR systems for automated HR support, as well as for coordinating military pay, legal, and postal services for the battalion. All HR systems, with the exception of DTAS, operate in NIPRNET. Battalion S-1 sections should have CAISI for NIPRNET connectivity. Connectivity requirements direct that at least an element of the section be within line of site (3-5 km) of the VSAT in the Forward Support Company providing sustainment support for the battalion S-1 or to the brigade S-1 section, which also has VSAT capability. The battalion S-1 updates the DTAS daily. Company First Sergeants and executive officers can make daily strength reports or updates to the battalion S-1 via FBCB2. (FM 1-0, Para 2-47)
The CAISI accepts information from automation devices interfacing over military communication networks (e.g.,) satellite communications, Defense Data Network, Defense Switching Network, VSAT, U. S. public
switched networks, and commercial communications systems of Nations with which the U. S. has defense
agreements). The two CAISI components are: Bridge module and a System Support Representative. It is
a high data rate, sensitive but unclassified wireless local area network. (FM 1-0, Para 3-142)

Facilitator’s Note: (Facilitator read and facilitate discussion using the slide)
Army Battle Command System (ABCS) such as Force XXI Battle Command-Brigade and Below (FBCB2), Joint Capabilities Release, and Blue Force Tracker (BFT) are several of the systems currently being used in various organizations.
(FM 1-0, Para 3-146) Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade and Below (FBCB2) – designed to provide on-the-move, real-time, and near-real-time situational understanding as well as mission command information to sustainment leaders from brigade to the platform and Soldier-level. FBCB2 feeds the ABCS common database with automated positional friendly information and current tactical battlefield geometry for friendly and known or suspected enemy forces. Company First Sergeants and executive officers can make daily strength reports or updates to the battalion S-1 via FBCB2. (FM 1-0, Para 2-47)
Blue Force Tracker is a United States military term for a GPS-enabled system that provides military commanders and forces with location information about friendly (and despite its name, also hostile) military forces. In NATO military semiology, blue typically denotes friendly forces.
Joint Capabilities Release – is the Army’s next generation friendly force tracking system currently fielding to Afghanistan. This upgrade builds on the situational awareness tool Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below/Blue Force Tracker (FBCB2/BFT), which is integrated on more that 120,000 platforms and field to every brigade combat team in the Army. As a software upgrade, JCR leverages existing hardware for substantial cost avoidance. With JCR, Soldiers inside vehicles can track the locations of friendly forces, plot enemy location and exchange command and control messages. The capability is fielded by Project Manager Joint Battle Command-Platform (PM JBC-P), assigned to the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical.
(FM 1-0, Para 3-140) The BCS3 is the Army’s logistics mission command automation system. It aligns sustainment, in-transit, and force data to aid commanders in making critical decisions. This system capability provides operators the common operating picture in the form of total asset visibility to quickly and efficiently see the status of selected critical items.
The system’s software is capable of running on classified or unclassified networks. It provides the ability to plan, rehearse, train, and execute on the same system. The system provides sustainment and movement information for command decisions by displaying current status and the tools to determine future projections of fuel, ammunition, critical weapons systems, and personnel.
