This is the value of Hyper-Realistic® training.Researchers from the Naval Health Research Center studied Marines training in the Infantry Immersion Trainer (IIT) at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, CA. At the STOPS Tactical Training Laboratory – equipment, methods, and tactics can be tested - in real world conditions - without the real-world casualties. After this exposure, the rate drops to less than 6 percent. The second is to integrate Hyper-Realistic ® training – all the proprietary techniques, methods, procedures, and ideals that enable the effect to be not only extremely realistic, but dynamic, interactive, and repeatable.Ī Defense Science Board study found that 50 percent of all casualties in war occur in the first five to six significant exposures to combat. Two additional ingredients are necessary: The first is an understanding of and expertise in, tactics, techniques, and procedures (See the middle “lane” in the flow chart). However, employing Hollywood techniques is not enough. STOPS uses all the techniques of the theater, TV, and film industry - "The Magic of Hollywood” – to enhance live training in a way that is unique in the world (see the lower “lane” in the flow chart). The following flow chart depicts how STOPS transforms ordinary training scenarios into Hyper-Realistic ® training scenarios. (STOPS), defines Hyper-Realistic ® as “such a high degree of fidelity in the replication of battlefield conditions in a training environment that participants so willingly suspend disbelief that they become totally immersed and eventually stress inoculated".
