Initial-Homestation Instrumentation Training System (I-HITS)

I-HITS allows commanders to train at homestation in preparation for either CTC rotations or deployments and to sustain a higher level of proficiency between or during deployments. I-HITS aligns unit trainer observer/ controller functions for exercise planning, control, and AAR with unit management, training and warfighting functions. I-HITS is not intended to replace or compete with brigade/battalion task force training at the maneuver Combat Training Centers or higher headquarters exercises at the Battle Command Training Program. Rather, it builds on the proven CTC train - assess - train model, to enhance Warfighting capabilities and mission readiness. Unit commanders will use objective data collected during realistic exercises and after action review feedback to increase collective battle and supporting task (per appropriate mission Essential Task List) proficiencies at homestation to maximize the CTC experience, prepare for actual deployments, rehearse tactical missions and reconstitute units.
