  1. Combined Arms C2 Training Upgrade System (CACCTUS) OneSAF User’s Conference 7-11 April 2008 David H. Fowlkes Fowlkesd@castupgrade.com

  2. CACCTUSProgram Description REQUIRED OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY FOR THE COMBINED ARMS STAFF TRAINER (CAST); CHANGE 2 (NO. TNG 491.4.1) STATEMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT: • The Marine Corps requires a Combined Arms Staff Trainer (CAST) capable of providing realistic fire support training for Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) elements up to and including the Marine Corps Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) level. • The trainer exercises various MAGTF staff elements in fire support employment, coordination, and integration. • CACCTUS will visually display the impact of supporting arms fire and the target engagement battlespace geometry in relation to maneuver forces. • In addition, CACCTUS will continue to support training the terminal controller to acquire the target, fire agencies to prosecute the target, and observers reporting the effects of fires. • CACCTUS will be able to utilize current and pending MAGTF tactical data systems used in the coordination and clearance of fires for MAGTF forces. • The CAST facilities exist at the Twenty-nine Palms, California, the Marine Corps. Air Station (MCAS) Kaneohe Bay, Camp LeJeune, Camp Pendleton, and Camp Butler. • CACCTUS will be used to prepare for live-fire and to provide essential fire support training throughout the Operating Forces. • CACCTUS will provide a system architecture for live, virtual and constructive training.
