“this amendment will authorize $3 million to connect the Theater Air Command Control and Simulation Facility with the 58th Special Operation Wing. In January, 1995, General Ronald Fogleman, Chief of Staff of the USAF announced a ``New Vector for Air Force Simulation'' and the ``need to expand our involvement and investment in advanced simulation technologies to improve our readiness and lower our costs today, and prepare us to dominate the battles of tomorrow.'' Kirtland Air Force Base is uniquely suited to lead the Air Force in achieving this new vector by capitalizing on state-of-the-art modeling and simulation [M&S] capability available. The Chief's vision for Modeling and Simulation [M&S] will provide the tools that the USAF needs to more effectively organize, train, equip, and jointly employ its forces. In order to meet this vision, organizations from the operational, systems development, and testing communities must be brought more closely together.”
